Some of the GMC guys might be able to help a bit, they have their own used parts fishin' holes. Mine was bought at a swap meet. It seems while the Chevy's had the old ether tube set-up some late forties GMC's had an electric sender. I tried a 12V sender (electric, still available from NAPA and...

I finally after all these years got an operable temp gauge. In the end I got a GMC Thermostat collar with Temp gauge opening cast into it. The longer line enabled me to use the larger/newer water temp sensors. Finding a workable old style narrow sensor proved frustrating. There was enough extra...

Hey, if the boat has a tank of gas, I'll be able to "go fishing for you". Always count on your buds for support and help.

Wow......I never thought of that!! Imagine if Nate lived next door!!! What trouble would be brewing in those shops/garages. Wives would be definately trying to break that dynamic duo up

Or..............Send it out!!

Road Noise Control, I want to use some that nice foil aluminum and stick it on the roof and behind the seat. I had some 3M Spray Adhesive. Its sorta OK. Not sure if it will hold behind the headliner. It gets Hot. Wondering what folks use? Evan?:D

Some of the brackets are....I bought the barrel bolts and the center supports by a fellow on Ebay, There was another fellow as well but they were not the same as the ones I needed. The ones I bought are stainless center supports...will look awesome. If you need the side arms you may be out of...

Weren't you worried !! About scratching the paint or getting sap on it? It might ruin the patina!:D

There may be aftermarket or NOS unchromed parts available, that's a pretty popular model A..."F" isn't it. Just a thought as you didn't specify the parts. Maybe ebay for good used unpainted parts.

Well, kids....its more like, instead of going off the the packing plant to be rendered, its got a new home at the petting farm. Now isn't that more tolerable?

Boo-Hoo!! I feel bad too! Like someone in the family has gone missing, also lament the fact its going to be retro fitted. Like we say here in the hills...lets..."Git R' Drunk".;)

I paid $150 for usable hood several years back, thought I was lucky as they didn't make repro's at the time. That was in Tennessee though

He's got good'uns and bad' uns, By cracky though today he is as sharp as a tack! Way to go Nate!! Now if Evan and Ken chime in it will make my day! lol

A lot of people put the fitting into the head to provide extra oil into the top of the engine, it is an after-market or maybe a dealer shop advisory thingie. I've seen as many with the valve cover oiler as without. Neither of mine (216&235) have them at the moment and all seems well without the...

It was a Compliment...of sorts. I always admire your ability to think on your feet and figure out an alternative part or way to do something. Good ol' Yankee ingenuity! But, a little good natured heckling and a sense of humor is good too! Mi Amigo.

I heard a complant Well...Just sayin'....I overheard a guy at the swap meet say "Nate still had the first dollar he ever made":eek:lol

ORR!!! Nates idea of making the old foot pedal starter into a starter button was cool too. He's pretty keen for an old feller.

I was able to take the off-on-start cylinder from the key start era and with my dremel grind the three grooves that secure it to the original backing from the oriiginal, then with washers i think that were 1 1/4 or an 1/8th from farm co-op, build it up as needed and stuck it through the original...

Do Not "Re-invent the wheel", Get a Patrick's Antique auto and trucks catalog. He has a 2 page article for converting your 216/6 volt to 12 volts. Very inexpensive and easy. He has numerous other articles you will then want on tranny's, rear ends etc. As he says " a handful of light bulbs and...

There is a suburban For sale in the Trucks wanted section...Sasky. You might see what he is about. Might be cheap if he's selling a truck in the wanted section...if you get my drift???
