I don't think that is right Zig. You should still be able to activate the lever. It might be a little harder given that you are fighting...
I think this is an electrical problem. Most likely a short between the steering wheel and the seat. What does "it would have none of that" mean?
guys that don't know how to weld (like me) should leave it to someone who knows
I replaced the generator (it quit on me) on my 57 GMC with a 1 wire alternator. Worked OK for many years. This truck had A/C and a radio. It...
I feel pretty confident in the old pump, but I'd stay close to home for the first 25 miles or so.
The fuel pump on my 52 crapped out a few weeks after I bought my truck. At the time I still had vacuum wipers, so I replaced the single diaphragm...

I think I still have the one that came still in the box when I bought my 52 150 GMC (3/4 ton like yours). You are welcome to it for the price of...
