Hi Jon, Â I don't have an exact answer but I would think with all the hot rod shops down in orange county and the bay area, someone has to do this. You might...
Good question. One reason might have been that during these years GMCs had bigger engines than Chevies so maybe the additional power was one reason. Martin...
I know the dashboards are completely different in the task force series trucks, not a reason for the 2 seperate brands but it's a difference. ... From: Jon...
There were many reasons, I suppose. One would be, that the corporation saw the market would support this. In the early years, GMC was the upscale truck,...
GMC and Chevrolet were at one time competitors. General Motors acquired both companies and continued to operate both using separate factories, but both using...
You might try your local wrecking yards. My brother went hunting through a local Pick-A-Part a couple years ago and came out with a mint hood and set of rear...
That's what I'm running in mine, I think a 67 - 72 will work because it doesn't have a key on the column. ... From: strummin67 <strummin67@...> Subject:...
Hey all, I have my stck column out of my 1957 Chevy truck. I am getting the front end rebuilt. Is there a way to check if the steering box is bad while the...
If you have a shop manual for the truck you can probably do it. I think if the column works for the most part you need to check for slop and play. For me I got...
Made the mistake of sending my chrome for my stock restoration to this rip off of a place called Finishing Touch Chrome in Chicago. Must be run by Al Capone....
Hi gang, Hope all are enjoying the 4th. I am trying to find a decal that is on my inside glovebox door on my 57 Chevy truck. The decal has weight limits and...
Just curious if anybody restores their trucks, and if they use the original split-rims? I've got the original 15" 8-lug wheels, and picked up a set of 16" as...
I am in the process of restoring my 1957 Chevy 3100. It is all apart and just got done with the sand blasting. I am doing a 100% stock frame off. The truck has...
Hi all, I just posted a photo of the glovebox decal. Sorry, for the decal not being in better shape. I would love to find this decal new. I figured it is tire...
I'll try to find a link for you today that I had years ago. This link had all data on the chevy trucks from the 1930's up until the 70's and I'm pretty sure...
Hi Sam, Thank you for taking the time. I can't seem to put all the info in the order it shows (columns) from the decal on this email. One column is "weight" ...
It's been a few years, but I used to drive a '48 Chevy 1-ton pickup. At that time I remember seeing a catalog for one of the Old Pickup Resto shops that sold...
I have a 6 lug rim with 6 clips. I am going to have the rims blasted and see if I can re-use the clips. I know I can get clips anywhere. Thank you! Jon...
Hi Sam. I am starting to figure out what the decal looked like. I have the Chevy Truck Shop Manual. In the first few pages it shows weights and tire size/ply...
Hi Jon, Â ere's a run down on what I've spent so far. Â The truck itself, $400, not bad but a $400 truck isn't much to look at. Suspension, $3000 Frame work,...
Hi Sam, Yes, I saw that decal and it is not the one I am searching for. I will post a photo of what I need here later today. Oh, I forgot to mention that I...
