Posted a while back about my 71 Chevy Custom Camper 3/4 ton (10400 original miles) that ate a new cam at 4000 miles. Well , I said the heck with it (me with a bad back) and took it to a local guy who is a wizard with small blocks. My oil pressure had dropped off way down all of a sudden and the lifters were ticking away but the dang thing still ran like a top. He got it pulled apart and miced and scoped everything and got the block cleaned out. Said it had 8 lobes gone and the metal floating around ground out the bearings which I already figured. The good news was the crank was still in factory standard specs and the pistons and valves were in excellent shape which honestly suprised the heck out of me. Must have caught it right in the nick of time. The trans shop reported the trans was in good overall shape outside of the worn clutch packs. It had a habit of freewheeling when hot in drive. This old truck is so original and drives very nice and is one heck of a hauler. I almost sprang for a newer truck when it was acting up, but I am glad I didn't now. I will post the results when I get it back and drive the ol gal again later this week or early next week.
