Hey all, I found something of interest and I thought you might be interested. I just bought a Light Truck Interchange Manual (Copyright 1965) from Classic Motorbooks <www.motorbooks.com>. It is very
Looking through the Interchange manual I saw something that may be a misprint, but I have heard something similar before, but always thought is was a tall tale. Does anyone know anything about a Pont
Does anybody know it the Light Commercial Vehicle Association is still around? They used to put out a bi-monthly magazine called "Classic Trucks" and also maintained a NAPCO registry. I have written
I'm not sure, but I don't think the 2.02" valves were "stock" until the introduction of the 302ci in the Camaro, and the LT-1 in the Corvette. Most of the early GM heads that I have seen (that were s
I don't know, this question was based on a possible misprint (in the engine ID area of a light truck interchange manual) and the memories of an old mechanic. I have a hard time believing either story
Does anybody know any more about this? Wouldn't it be cool to build up a copy of that truck and run it =^). It might wrinkle the nose of a few of the "classic car" guys if there prize MG lost the che
I was just watching the old Clint Eastwood movies "Every which way but loose". He drives a 55 or 56 (I can never tell the difference on a Chevy) Chevy LWB that is really a nice old truck. It isn't "p

Rather than using a poly-urethane or synthetic based preservative, you might try a good oil based finish. You may have to reapply it every year or so, but it will protect without pealing. My brother
A friend of mine is selling his truck, and I thought one of you might be interested (he doesn't have access to E-mail so call or write him directly). FOR SALE: 1956 Chevy 1/2-ton LWB Pickup Original
If it's a GMC the VIN and the engine serial number are not the same. GMC engine number was a displacement code, production number, and (I think) date code. I don't know about Chevy, but I don't think
Ouch! That could hurt. Texas is serious about their vehicle titles aren't they. I spent two years in England and they had a place on the title where you could change bodies, frames, etc. You could bu
Go for it! If you want, you can have copies of the pictures I will take of mine to document it's restoration. I can put you in touch with some people that have original literature too. I don't know i

I have never tried to weld cast iron, but I have brazed it a few times. My brothers 55 had a cracked block when he bought it. My Dad drained the water out, burned the paint off the area with a torch
You might try Copper State (bolt?) in Arizona. They have an office in Tucson and a couple in the Phoenix metro area. I don't know if they carry these or not, but they used to carry all sorts of other
Actually, in 1958 the NAPCO trucks (unless it is a Powr-Pak conversion) rolled off of the same line as all other Suburbans and pickups. The main difference was the addition of the transfer case & bra
