I just picked up my newest project. A 1948 Chevy 1/2 ton 5 window cab pick up truck. It needs either the original engine rebuilt or replaced. I have located a clean GM 250 6 cylinder engine with the Muncie SM 420 behind it. How is this engine for durability and would it be a good idea for my new...

Hey triley, I'd be interested in more info on the 03 Tahoe fuel tank. How did you mount it? Is it still side fill? Some pix would be nice. Thanks

You shouldn't have any problem with the sheet metal. The original gearbox would be the only problem I know of and if you've done a steering conversion, then all should hook up just fine. You can look at my project journal. There are a lot of pictures...

Has anyone here installed the original 47-54 Suburban rear window pulls on their project? I have seen a lot of Suburbans with fixed rear glass, but not with the original sliding windows. I'm trying to find out what is used to replace the worn out beaded window seals on the eight stainless steel...

Oh yeah, I'm Robert and I live up here in the desert mountains of Kamas, Utah.

Hey Jim, If you tell your story again I promise to read it on an empty stomach. Ken, Very cool. Thank you for the shop manual link. It will help me to understand the adjustment procedure. I might even adjust the entire front clip :)

Nate, I'm the one that should apologize. I wasn't even hinting that your reply was useless. I've seen your numerous very helpful posts. Maybe I misread your post. I understood it to say research the archives because it had been posted in depth in previous posts. I took that you thought I posted...

Hi Nate, Thanks for your reply. I searched for an answer before I posted with my question. I know it's a relatively common problem. I couldn't find the post you are referring to. There are 14 unsolved posts here in this forum. I know there is a way to get these hoods to sit on the cowl seal...

I've been trying every which way to adjust my hood to cowl gap. The driver side is fairly good, but would like it tighter and the passenger side sits 3/8" - 1/2" above the hood to cowl seal. Can any body give me some ideas for the hood to cowl adjustment ? I kind of wonder if my springs are...

I sold my extra set about 6 months ago. I know L & L Auto in Wendell, ID has a body with the clam shell doors currently for sale. I believe they want $2200.00 for the body and a front clip. Good Luck

The best way I found is take a razor knife with a new blade. Carefully cut the rubber on the inside of the windshield. Make sure it is cut all the way around. Remove the rubber you have just cut away. Then have someone on the outside catch the windshield as you press it outward. This works for...

Big Chevy 3600 is right on. Anytime you do a floor replacement use bracing in strategic placement around the cab to keep things square. Leave the doors on, as this will be the time to get the door gaps better than when the truck was built. Before you weld the floor panels on. Check the door gaps...

ol' chebby I will take your advice and remove the doors yet once more. Thanks for the help. rtnnhazel The perches are home built. There are holes drilled about every inch to accept the head of the spring bolt. With this design you can move the rearend forward or rearward to fit the...

Hope to get past this phase.

I'm scrambling to complete the final touches on my 1953 Chevy Suburban. I purchased the front door weatherstrip from Classic Parts (of course). Does the weatherstrip start at the bottom middle of the door and run continuously around the door meeting back at the bottom middle? If anyone is...
