Thanks for the reply Bill, I have to agree. I am using the 48-51 Chev Truck manual w/ 52 supplement for majority of all my work. I do not have any of the Chevy factory tools- but I have a lot of generic tools from over the years. Today for about an hour afterwork I pulled the manifolds, the distributor, the waterpump and thermostat housing, and soon I am going back over to continue-
I decided to work on the engine on weeknights when I I have short amounts of time, and then on weekends when I have longer stretches to work I plan to work on the chassis, I plan to start blasting the frame and rust converting/encapsulating(eastwoods is gonna love me!) Actually I purchased the chassis resto kit with the satin finish(because I like the satin rather than gloss-
Then I plan to put the finished engine back on the chassis- then the trans-
then work on the rear end-
and eventually the dreaded BODYWORK
Love this site-
Like I said before- any advice or things to watch out for please let me know(other than the other posts I am reading- especially if you have exp with a 3600 in this configuration.
Thanks all-back to the barn.
