I'm torn between customizing or keeping original the '57 GMC C100 project truck I have. The body is pretty straight with very little rust. Most parts are there with the exception of the hood which I

I know the feeling. I have wrestled with this question myself regarding my '57 chevy 1/2 ton stepside. It is not completely original. It came with a 6 cylinder engine that was junk when I got the tr

Don't give up on the 347. It is basically the same engine that came in the 57 Pontiac, just lower compression and different carburetion. Mine has 72000 miles on a rebuild and is working well except f

This is a very personal decision. It sounds like the truck is definitely restorable, it'll just take some leg work to find all the right parts. What were your thoughts when you bought it. did you th

Hey Bill, I agree with all you say. That is why I am restoring my 58 GMC Suburban Carrier Pickup (Cameo style) - Hydramatic. Since yours is also a hydramatic, would you happen to have an extra shift

I assume that you mean the ivory colored knob with the 3 rings cut into it. I have the remnants of one on a lever I rescued from a junk yard. It was from a 56 101. That is the only one I've ever seen
