in you are into reading books steamroller then i recomend a book by Tom Brownell. "How to restore your chevrolet pickup" It is a great guide for all the paths you can take to restore your truck...It seems to be geared more for 40's and 50's style but it touches on 1928-1991. It gives alot of information on either rebuilding or restoring and the things you have to do no matter what year it is...It is a great book..
