At about 4600 Burnet Rd, I found this 1946 Chevrolet Stylemaster Sport Sedan. While I snapped my pics, the owner, Eddie, came out and told me about it: 327 V8 & front disc brakes from a 1963 Corvette; converted to 12 volt system; tilt steering; new interior; turn signals; new battery, fuel pump, carb, tires coil, ignition wires and resistor, windshield wiper arms, brakes. It’s nice!

I found interesting cars and trucks all along my recent jaunt to E. Texas. Looking halfway like a cab, It has a 1969 Chevy front suspension, rear axle, a four speed auto and speed parts on the straight six engine. I love to see the original”Stovebolt” inline, OHV six-cylinder engines, the only engine Chevy offered from 1929 until the “small block” V8 joined the stable in 1955. The earliest of these engines were known as “stovebolt” sixes because some of the bolts in the the engine looked like those used in woodstoves.
