well i worked on my suburban some today   had a lot of fun   it had some wax 
buildup in the cracks that i removed ,scraped some decals off windows and did 
some scrubbing on the inside   i also did spent some time doing some 
evaluating and have a few questions that i hope someone can answer

1)    have not gotten the title yet    was told it was a 50    it does have 
the cowl on the drivers side but it also has vent windows   my guess is 
someone replaced the doors    the vin reads     21hp-15979    can anyone 
decode?

2)  if just my lower bar on the chrome grille is bent can i replace just the 
bar from another one?

3)   hopefully i won't need to know this  but anyway   i have 6 volt still   
i was told once that you could jump it off with a 12v along as it was pretty 
quick   is this accurate   also  anybody still sell the 8v batteries to give 
them a little more cranking juice?

4)   where is the proper place that oil line hooks up on the 216 engine?

5)   do they sell 160 degree thermostats for 216's?

6)    finally, my control cables on the dash work but both have "c"   got the 
"t" from chevy duty but not sure how they come off and on


thanks a million and hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!!!
