Here's some 413 carnage from Dick Landy's ramp truck that my friend is restoring, I took these pics last year right after he took it apart. Later we found out the block had also been sleeved in 2 of the cylinders. 023.jpg024.jpg
 
That crank looks like it might have gotten a little warm. ha ha ha
Yes, very cool truck.

Nice carnage.

Based on the looks of the vehicle/appearance in it's last configuration, the dudes driving were probably high and laughing when the "knocking" started to sound...
 
He had two ramp trucks a '66 and the '68 with the "T" shaped storage box, (that was for tire storage), that is the one of 4 made. I think the one pictured is the '66...because you can't see the "T portion. I think he sold the '68 in around 1973...it eventually ended up In Indiana where it was used by a guy named "The Count" that had a late 50's Plymouth wagon that used to put on shows in the Midwest, later it was used to haul tractors...where it finally died, (my friend think's "The Count" may have cut up the original storage portion and basically made a make shift RV out of it, too bad my friend wasn't able to get it before that...he's getting help from Don Prudhomme and the Landy family to restore what was destroyed.
