I put an LS in my ‘55 but would have LOVED to put a 348/409 in my truck if they were findable and affordable. They've become so expensive now!

My dad’s ‘59 Fleetside longbed was originally a 235. I was a little guy but I “helped” him put a 283 in it and later a 348. Was VERY fast for those days - early/mid ‘60’s.
