[Oletrucks] 261 engine near greeley

[Jonas Thaler]

FWIW I kick myself a little bit for not buying a good 261 for $200 when I was
deciding what to do with my 1959 3200.  I ended up rebuilding a 1962 235 car
engine.  That was about 2006.  I have to say that, despite kicking myself for
being too lazy to drive 50miles to pick up the engine, my 235 is AWESOME.
Strong and dependable.  What an amazing industrial machine.  I really think
the 6cyl gas engines of its generation were beautiful and historic and I'm
proud to drive around with it.    Next truck I will try and utilize a 261 but
if anyone ever tries to get my 235 they are going to have to pry it out of my
cold dead claws!
