Well I don't know how many on the list are interested in what I plan to do, but I'll give it a shot. But first, your truck looks great. By my standards (I've had and been planning my 1951 restoratio

Lots of choices for frame paint but the key to rust prevention is the preparation. Bare metal, extremely clean, self-etching primer, etc. My '54 will still be a full-sized truck with the original fro

Sounds like someone is getting pretty deep fast.... I am just now starting on the sheetmetal of my 57 3100. I too took the POR15 route, and used metal prep from Eastwood before I put the POR15 on the

Do you mean the old 6.2L diesel? They started in '81 or '82 and I had one new in an '83 C20 pickup. The front coil springs were a lot heavier than the ones furnished with a 350V8. These were plentifu

nope-i mean a 6.5 that is a little newer-maybe mid-80's up until late 90's or for my cummins they are around 2500 with an attached turbo 400 hard to find. i have a second one still in ohio that needs

A 6.5 L sounds like a whole lot more power than I need. I'm not fixing a heavy duty hauler, just a kayak and possibly an occasional 2-horse trailer hauler. The horse trailer was pulled just fine by o

A 4.3 V6 sounds great, and it is GM to beat. What year models were these available on and are any particular years better than others? I have learned that the GM 6.2 L were not as good as the later

If you're backing down to a 4.3 V6 why not just stay with the inline 6 and avoid the extra work? Gale _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html

Excellent info on the 4.3 L V6 diesel engine. I assume that a PITA FI is some type of fuel injection system???? A inline 6 would be good, but I would like to get a diesel for both the long-lasting n
