Opinions on a small block Chevy
I am looking to get something new to me that is within the years of manufacture so I can change all of the camper parts from my existing truck to a new one. This truck falls into that category. http...

This is what is left of the front end frame "Blue". There is nothing to work with so putting a clip on won't work. Same on the other side.
This is the finished product of many years of hit and miss in the repair of this truck. This motor runs perfectly and is as strong as the day it was built. The list is too long to say what I did to it but it's the usual stuff, Re-maned heads, gaskets and stuff like that. The wiring hanging out of wrap is what I'm working on.
I had a couple of friends over last night and we are all motor heads. The consensus was to take Grit dogs opinion and go with that. It's not worth anything to anyone else but me. I'm keeping it. I'm installing a battery cut off switch today so I don't have to keep undoing the neg. batt. cable. That will be less annoying. Also going to skip the front wiring harness as I'm not putting anymore money into it. I'll track the electrical short as I always do. I have commented on the forum that my wife and I where looking to go to a travel trailer some time back and I think after this episode we will rethink that. The truck will be sold with the camper on top of it as is and will probably catch me more money than if I sold it out right. We have 18 camping reservations this year and will go to them all and then I will part ways with the both of them.
As usual the group on the forum was again far and away more helpful than other places I visit. Thank you all very much for your help.
Yes if your wondering, I'm already missing my truck camper just like I miss my old Bayliner I sold this year.... LOL
