    Hi,I'm new here.I live in Germany,own a '66 chevrolet short fleetside big window/custom cab/v8,4 speed and a '62 GMC long fleetside with the 305 V6.Both trucks need restoration work done(and parts too).Have been reading in the forum for some time now-thought I should sign up and be a part of it.:D

    Yes,the beer is VERY good !

    Thanks for the welcome:)-I will enjoy the tips and advice I get here.Maybe I can find some parts in the forum to get my GMC on the road.Almost no parts over here for the 305 V6.Does someone have Shift rods (3 speed manual/column shift ) for my '62 ?:confused:

    The car is a '55 Cadillac (4 drsdn).Yes its mine-needs resto(like most of my cars).It seems to smile-great front view.:DI'm a big american car fan-they do not build them anymore like they used to.The look of the '50's and '60's cars will never come back.No matter how 'Retro' the car makers will go.So keep your classics!!To all of you: excuse my english...;)

    Wilkommen Alte Autos und Fahrräder, ;)
    ich komme aus Belgien.

    (greatings Oldcarsnbikes i am from Belgium)

    The only thing that i know from Frankfurt are the "Frankfurter wursten"(sausages) they sell them over here in the supermarket,they are great with some mustard.Is it a speciality in your city ?

    Yeah great forum here,i don't know these guys like in the real world but they are fantastic!!!!! They helped me out several times.

    Nice Dagmar bumpers on these cars,i like them also like that.The Dagmar i know has "lowered" ones:D

    to 64shortbed:thankx for the welcome-I'm looking for tune up parts(points/condenser,dist.cap,valvecover gaskets,carb kit and all stuff you will have to renew when you open the hood and everything in there looks older than yourself.Would like to get a engine gasket set and new radiator hoses also.I do not like the universal style,because they fit everywhere(-not properly)The 305 V6 seems not very popular,everybody swap them out in favor for a V8.How come?When you read about the engine,its the 'indestructible,dependable, trusty ,solid.... V6 )
