Hey vets,
Well Im new to the bolt, but I have nothing but respect for all of you who have come here before me. Im 25 years old, ex-marine out of cherrypoint NC, and am currently employed by CAT as a diesel mechanic in Pa.

I own a 1958 GMC stepside pickup, which is rolling on what I believe to be a late 50's chevy chassis 235 possibly? Buddy bought it off ebay?

I have a few other threads in engine forum.

So the pics will show you where I am with the project, the last pics were taken just last week. I only get to work on the truck 2 days a week for about 6 hours a day so I am focused when Im there.

I would definetly enjoy and listen to any advice anyone has for me once they look at my pics. Enjoy

The original, and from what I understand, usual, carnage.

Theres nothing that can't be done. Say, if "they" can do it, so can I.
