The engine came out of a 1961 C60 single axle
tractor trailer that was used for hauling grain. When Pop bought the truck
in 67/68 the truck had just had a new GM crate motor installed. We used is
some on the farm, but for very few miles as we lived only 1/2 mile from the
elevator.
The engine has been sitting in my shop, and a year or two ago one of the
son-in-laws was going to rebuilt it and use it, but after he disassembled it
and before he started the build, he sold the project truck and it just sat.
So I decided to move it to a new home.
I've had the block cleaned and checked by Donnelly Automotive Machine here
in Decatur. They checked everything, deglazed the cylinders, etc... and
installed new Cam Bearings. I've reinstalled the pistons and crank with all
new bearings and rings as well as a new rear main seal.
All the bores and bearing surfaces are at standard, no boring or machining
as the block had very few miles and no wear issues. So it's now a
fresh short block looking for a new home.
