Martinius, I think that is the original water pump pulley. Probably not the original pump. It must have had hairline cracks that I couldn't see....
I don't really know, Nate. It was on the truck when I got it... I did have a spare pulley that was 1/2" shorter. I needed to change the water...
Well, Wife and I went galavanting around town on Thursday as I had pre-op doctor stuff to do. I wanted to take the Truck, so after much pleading,...
I may have one on an old hood. Will be a while before I go back to where it may be, though. I'll check next time I go back to the Corpus Christi...
Bill, PM Russ and give him all the information about your truck and he'll be able to fix you up. ;) Taking Clarabelle out tomorrow for a few...
HuH? What'd you say? :rolleyes: Yeah, I thought Bill's 228 was considerably quieter than my 235... Lifter noise from mine. Bill, I spent...
Big Building.... Size Matters after all!;) Looks like a good shop in the making.
You can put a Chevy engine in the GMC Chassis with little problem. The GMC front cross member curves forward about 2", so to use a shorter Chevy...

SPRING! Heck Nate, It was 70 degrees here today! :) If I didn't have a house full of guests, I'd have gone on a 50 mile test drive, maybe over...
Project finished! Did a test drive of about 5 miles, after idling in drive for about 20 minutes. Checked my drip pan this morning, and no oil!...
Yeah, if an internal diode fails, as a shorted diode, it will backfeed internally and keep the alt. energized. Most often its the diode trio on...
Nate, That's a really scary story. Thank You for sharing, seriously! Fairly happy ending, too. Those kinds of experiences should only be...
Good progress. I opted for the '55 park/turn signals too. They look good! I like the "General Motors Truck" on the dash :D
Here's how it looks with AC. Can't live here in Texas and not have AC. Unless you only want to drive now and then.
Thanks Nate. Hope you had fun with the race cars! The red RTV was introduced after the mains were torqued, when I installed the oil pan... The...
Thanks Damon. I read the article, and picked up some useful information. Interesting that the mech. stated that for engines using shimmed main...
