    Electrical short holes radiator!

    I had just finished installing a Derale dual fan with separate electronic thermostats. This after rewiring the entire engine with new wiring and routing from "The New System" out of California. The stock wiring ran from alternator to battery over the radiator and the last thing I did after...

    '63 C10 Front Shock Mount loose!

    My driver's side upper shock mount won't stay tight. I know this is a problem area for these trucks as the mounting point for the shock is only fixed at one end putting lots of leverage on the single mounting hole in the frame. I have found some aftermarket fixes available (Western Chassis...

    VIN # interpretation

    I am sure that this sort of question has been asked before and I did do a search but nothing came up. I just bought a '63 Fleetside Longbed and the guy who sold it says it's a 3/4 ton. I bought the '63 Chevy Truck manual and unless I am not understanding (a reasonable possibility) the VIN...
