I'm sure I could Google and you tube pretty much everything, but I've never had a project so old before.... are the service manuals for this year very detailed? Are there good and bad ones to choose from?
Shop Manual for a 1950 Chevrolet Truck and/or for an 1984 C10 (outside the range for most members)?
1950 Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual is covered/on-line here.Have you looked in the Tech Tips (here) for information/suggestions on what documentation might be useful, and where to find it?
The information here is overwhelming - perusing the Tech Tips in your free time (huh, free time?) is time well spent (to see what topics are covered, in detail).
Good luck, and keep asking questions, Matt
