Options on cheap rebuild of Chevy 235? (Page 3/3) Quad Raider APR 29, 11:14 PM In the early 90s I bought a basket case 68 Chevy pickup. It had been sitting in a guy's front yard for years and he sold it to me for $50, as long as I didn't break the rotten eggs a chicken had laid behind one of the wheels. We towed it home, cleaned the turpentine out of the gas tank and put a battery and carburetor kit in it and it started right up. Never used oil or smoked. I can't remember what size it was, either a 250 or 292, but it was bulletproof.
