Wed Jan 13 23:56:59 EST 2010
I just looked at all the pictures I could find of 1958-1964 Chevrolet pickups plus close-ups of my own van and they are clearly different. Darn, I shoulda looked at those pics before I opened my keyboard.
On another note, I did buy a '62 Wagon today that came with a correct '62 engine as a spare, but has a 140 (four carburetor) engine installed. Should be fun when I get 'er running!

Probibly 1965 because that was the flat windsheil year,(I think)
