The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre New to the truck world

when I was a child my dad had a 63 GMC fleetside shorty. I finally found the right one. Get this, a two owner truck. Still has the Bill of Sale in it. However, The second owner removed and discarded the motor/trans.. TRAGIC! He did put in a 350 long block , full disc brakes, all new suspension front and rear steering ball joints and a TH350 I think.. Does not look like it has ever be hit, just surface rust. Its still in the back of this guys hanger and has been for a while. Looking forward to you guy helping with advice. Thanks for the forum, these things really help.. Dan

Welcome Dan, yes it's a shame that he chucked out the engine/trans, but maybe they were wore out. Good that you ended up with it. Be sure to check in here if you need any type of help, that's why we exist. Maybe when you get the hang of it, you can post a few pics. Good luck.
