Yes, I believe that Buck used the same basic black open trailer and light blue Chevy van for towing the Chevelle for about 30 years, at least. And the tools were always out, as it was not unusual to see Buck try 2 or 3 different torque converters on a weekend. And in his small home garage, he had a rack that much have had at least 50 different cams that he had cycled thru that 402. I remember once I asked him about building a different car, after racing the Chevelle for so many years, and he just smiled, and said, "oh no, I am still finding things to do with this one."
