I recently purchased what I believe to be a 1953 GMC 100 with a 4 on the floor trans. I haven't had time to check what is stamped on the engine, but everything looks original and the head is marked "3835913".
I'm wondering if there is any way to check the oil level on these motors since I did not see a dipstick. I'm planning to rebuild the brakes, swap out the fluids, and test fire.
I also believe it's been converted to 12v because it seems to have an alternator, not a generator. Anyone have any tips to confirm this?
