It has been 28 years since my '57 GMC had factory mirrors, but I remember them being different. I can't remember what was different about them. It would make sense that if the driver's mirror was on a longer stem that stem would be larger diameter.

The original horn circuit worked like this: Battery 6V -------------Horn--------------/ -------ground. ........................................................^ ......................................................This...

Don't know what size they are, but our host sells this kit that has enough screws and washers to do both doors.

I'm not able to help, but maybe someone else would. They would probably have a better chance if you said what vehicle the "front clip" was taken from.

Mike: This particular area of the Classic Parts forum concentrates on 1955 to 1959 Chevrolet trucks. They had no upper control arms.

2 solutions I've used to help remind me to shut off the non-cancelling turn signals. 1. Attach a small automotive beeper to the P (pilot) pin on the 3 prong flasher. If you have a 2 prong flasher replace it with a 3 prong unit like a DOT 550 flasher. 2. I've loosened the clamp and turned...

I have yet to find an obituary for "Coilover", but just to show others Evan's (and his shop's) abilities here are a couple of pictures. First his favorite, his 37 Buick. He drove it all over the country with Dar. Still had a Buick straight 8, but he changed the tranny to a TH-350. A...

Don: I don't have much info on Canadian trucks. I'm guessing the engine is a Chevy 261. Smaller GMC trucks of your vintage were equipped with 235 Chevy inline 6 cylinder engine or 283 V8s. Larger trucks had either a Chevy 261 six cylinder engine or a Buick 322 V8. I don't know where the...

Can you read the casting numbers from the manifolds? Most likely be a 7 digit number. They are likely to be the same as '59 Chevy parts. I have some Canadian part numbers somewhere in my garage and have access to many more.
