    Evan:

    Any chance you have a LONG wheelbase late 40 to mid 50 Chey or GMC truck enclosed driveline lying in your scrap pile. I know a guy that needs everything from behind the tranny to just before the torque tube.

    Thanks, Bill

    Evan,
    I recently handed my ‘51 over to my oldest daughter in Coppell. I am downsizing, but wanted to keep it in the family. Are you available to help her dealing with a column linkage issue? She is willing to pay for your time. She has no mechanical abilities. Her husband has a little.

      it shouldnt be that hard it ant like these newer vics . thats so dam cram up and yoyu have no room to work in . as long as it bolts up to your trans and motor mounts . and if you have a torch or welder you can get stuff done . good luck .

    I need wiring info for a Grote 966-4 turn signal. It's 4 wires. Does it use a chassis or common ground for the negative 12 volts?

    Hi Bill, I’m buying another truck. It’s a 1946 Chevy pickup. I’m told it’s missing the hardware at the wheels for the emergency brake that attaches to the cables. I don’t see it listed anywhere to buy. Do you have any ideas where I can get it or references to what I need or even looks like? I’m the guy you helped out with my 49 part issue.

    Very sad news fellas. I got a PM from Mark's wife today on Facebook. Markeb01 passed away.

    Such a great guy. He'll be missed.

    G o d Speed Mark. I'm sure you're rowing through the gears, getting reacquainted with your old friends and family, and are having a great time. Look forward to seeing you on the other side.

    Happy Trails My Friend...

    I recently picked up a 1951 Chevy 3100 to fix up. My experience level is a big fat zero, but I'm excited to learn. Tips & tricks welcome!
