Hey all. Just picked up a 1951 Chevy 3100 5 Window. 216 Motor and 3 on the tree. The drivetrain is all original and I believe the truck has never been restored. The painted door logos are original to the 1st owner. The truck Runs, drives, stops and everything works. My plan is to keep the patina and drive it the way it is. It will be a good around town driver. My first step is I need to give the truck a good service. Oil, trans, rear end, grease, adjust clutch, adjust carb, timing check etc. Looking for any tips or tricks on these trucks for basic maintenance. I’ve only ever had v8 vehicles. This is my first “Old” truck and vehicle with mechanical everything. Also wondering what oil is suggested for the engine, trans, and rear end. Hopefully the pics uploaded. Located in CT. Thanks in advance!
