Same engine in mine, simple and great running car.
Traded it later for a 1964 Ford Fairlane, should kept the wagon instead....was a "bondo-bucket" with cracked engine block.
But in the early 80's I picked up this Chevrolet, came from Belgium and was used as a hearse.
Had long chrome-rails on each side, two square lights on the roof and very low mileage.
Repaired all the rust issues and installed a rear bench seat & new fresh two-tone paint job.
Found a used nice roof rack, became a daily driver for 6 years.
