    Anyone know where there is a 47-59 burb is for sale?

    It looks like your burb will be too expensive for my budget. What kind of frame is that?

    59 Fleetside chrome mounting holes.

    I just acquired some stainless trim for my 59 fleetside longbox. Does anyone have access to pictures of one without trim but with the holes so that I can have some sort of idea for placement. Thanks. Derek

    1958 Carryall/Suburban

    I found a 1958 GMC carryall and I wondered if anyone knows much about the v8 engine they put in them that year. Is it a good motor? Can you still get parts? What size is it? What are the motor's downfalls? Were the transmission options the same as the chevy counterpart (3 speed on column & 4...

    suicide doors 55 chevy truck

    I am no expert here by any means. The first thought that I had is that if you take the drivers side hinges and use them for the passenger side back and the passenger side for the drivers side back they should work...Based on the curviture of the doors etc.

    The Latest Newbie

    Sounds like a great project. Both of my 59's have had two sets of springs. The top set are overloads. Pretty much if you have 6 lugs you are at 1/2 ton. the numbering was 31 & 32 for half ton short and long box and 34 and 36 for 3/4 ton. I have an extra gauge cluster and deluxe heater that...

    Rear End Help

    Available Gear Ratios for Stock Rear End. Thanks to all for the help. I found out some useful information that you all might want to know. Originally I thought that I had 3.73 gears via the spin test. One of you said that they were 3.90 gears After looking all over the internet I found only...

    Rear End Help

    Fast Reply Needed. Rear end gears are toast. Ok... Just found out the bad news. My truck is in the shop and I need to decide on a ratio. The rear end gears are toast. I found out that the current gears are 373's via the spin test. I have a 327 with the camel back heads and a 3 speed...

    My Air force GMC

    I don't claim to be an expert. I have seen trucks for sale on ebay with dual spare tires, one on each side. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

    Suggestions on Headers

    I am looking for headers too. I put in a search on Summit's site and they have quite the selection. It just depends on how much $ you want to spend.

    Rear End Help

    Thanks. What gear ratio did you swap for? I have the three speed tranny with the two speed borg warner OD. Do you think it would be worth swapping the 3:90's for something higher like 3:50?

    Rear End Help

    Just found out that my pinion bearing is bad. Based on the vibrations it is possible that the case is also worn. (Vibrates on accelleration as well as right after you let off the gas) What is the best way to tell what gears are in the rear end? What gear ratios came in the 55-59 chevy trucks...

    What I did this summer.

    I think that the wiring might just be the hardest part since my truck has been rewired. I will have to give it a good look. I have a couple of weeks off for the holiday.

    What I did this summer.

    You make it sound like removing the front clip is easy. What is the best way to take the front sheet metal off as you did? Did you remove it all as one unit or did you take each fender off etc. I would like to remove my front clip to get things cleaned up on my truck but I don't really want...
