1927 Chevrolet Truck and Miss Maple

Still trying to figure out the engine block numbers - a lot of references out there and just trying to make sure I get the right information.  So far this is what I have  To summarize the known casting numbers for Cylinder Heads are:  # 327773 AUGUST 1921 TO NOVEMBER 1924 [U.S.]  # 41522 1921 TO 1922 [Canadian] then  # 327773 # 344128 DECEMBER 1924 TO MARCH 1926  # 345453 MARCH 1926 TO JUNE 1927  # 346886 JUNE 7TH TO NOVEMBER 1927  # 348540 DECEMBER 1927 TO OCTOBER 1928 AND THEN FOR FURTHER CASTINGS IN LATER YEARS: # 348540 [e.g. 1931 cast for the Parts Department] CHEVROLET CASTING NUMBERS FOR IDENTIFYING THE YEAR AND APPLICATION, CYLINDER HEADS AND BLOCKS CYLINDER HEADS 1917,18, 19 338048 D V-8 1922 381099 FB THREE-PORT 1916-21 333776 1922-27 345453 Single Port1 ½" Valves 1927 346886 Single Port AA, LM. 1 21/32" Valves 1928 348540 Two Port 1929 835503 All 1930-31 836273

Saturday we (Jeffrey) replaced the head gasket along with any other gasket that we came across. Overall it was about a two hour job. It seems like it ran quieter.    Nice new Head Gasket  It actually seemed to be running a lot better after the head gasket was replaced.  Hopefully this will be the last major replacement the truck needs for some time.

I missed my goal of a car show this year and will have to wait until next year to enter one.    Have to admit, the 4th of July Parade took the cake this year.   Didn't really do to much driving w/the truck this year.   I let the Farmer's Market use it for some advertising: Jeffrey and I will be replacing the head gasket this weekend so standby for plenty of pictures and  comments on that. Also time to start thinking about what winter projects I want to do with the truck.  I think I will work on the doors - they don't really close like they should. I also have to work on the side rails - they were a little tight at some connections. I also have new wood I need to work on so I can make some shorter side rails.  Not sure if I can farm any work out this winter - will have to see about that.  In the early spring of 2020 I will sand down the bed again and re-coat that so it shines nice for the  car shows and parades.
