Hi, Steve, you mentioned you had a book covering repair of the OD tranny. I have a '58 unit out of an Belair wagon, was going to rebuild it to eventually use in my '57 Chevy car. I had it taken down
I was perusing the mag rack at Books-A-Million, and they have THREE different Classic Truck magazines now at one time. :) In one of them, they have an article on a stainless steel tank kit to install
I will mention it again, as this topic came up before...I've used some extremely HEAVY DUTY cardboard that was used to ship multi-kilo items, the kind that is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, as a temporary bl
I believe I've seen them either with the downdraft tube, or the hole blocked off in '55....no PCV valves were used back then. My '57 had the downdraft tube on the 283. You can install one, as that's
I at one time as a teenager bought one of those "miracle" books on how to get miraculous gas mileage, and different patented high mileage carbs that had been invented over the years. They did give a
Two topics tonite for me. I'm starting to work on my Suburban again, slowly, and am going to work on a original rim. The back side is surface rusty, and the front side is heavily painted, and appears

Darn, I forgot ( geezer memory ) about the No Ebay and HTML, but I got excited when I saw a 3-door '55 Suburban! Don't see many of them, didn't even know they existed, really. I just wanted to share
Ahem...the Classic Chevy Club International, based down in Florida, has a converted Sony ( I think ) radio for a perfect fit into a TF truck dash. It has some drawbacks, in that the programming selec
I took the day off to commune with nature(ally) rusting old autos and trucks at Leon's salvage yard near Culpeper, VA. With the leaves off the trees, it's alot easier to find the old tin laying aroun
Coming to you, virtually, from Woodbridge, VA! I took a cheapo one-shot camera to Leon's salvage yard in Culpeper, VA Friday, and got some good shots of some AD GMC suburbans, a GMC TF p/u, all rough
I had a guy email me, saying they came on all TF Suburbans. Maybe in HIS area, but not in the Virginia/Maryland area! All the TF subs I've ever seen in junkyards, except for two of them, have had sol
I guess most of the Subs I see here are more commercial vehicles, they have no seats in the rear, no mounting places for them, just the wooden floors. Could be they were more popular out west where i

I found a neat R/C ( with cable attached, not true "remote control " ) tonite at a toy outlet store that sells overstocked items from the K & B toy stores. It's a 1/12th scale Cameo pickup truck, it'
I was at Lowe's building supplies last nite, getting some small wood trim and repair items, and walked by the tool area and noticed a display with a '57 2-ton? flatbed truck with a knife sticking in
Well, I hit the K-B outlet store in the Mall yesterday, and went to check on those Cameo R/C trucks again...and now they have black ones as well as the yellow cream colored trucks! Dang, wish I'd wai
I've been buying some old tinplate trains from some auctions, and have been getting some interesting items of late. I collect HO,Lionel 0-27, and G guage mostly, but I have some N gauge, and have got
Ok, this is a weird question, but I've had a car sitting around since Juneish, I did put some gas stabilizer in the tank, but the gas smells awful anyway. After replacing the $120 electric fuel pump,
