Great to join this group. Working on a 3800 Panel Wagon pulled out of the woods. The engine oil was mixed with radiator fluid but it turns over nicely. Needs some body work and rust is a problem in a few small areas. Excited about getting started! My first time working on a Chevy!

Welcome to the 'bolt, good luck with the engine. Definitely check into the engine room and search for "how to start an engine that has been sitting"


Another quality post.

Welcome to Stovebolt. Thats going to make a fine ride. Good luck, and any questions just ask them in the garage forums.
See you in the garage.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Welcome to the “Bolt”! Looks like a nice solid project. With water in the oil, you’ll definitely need to pull the head to check for a blown head gasket or worse yet, cracks. Post that question in the “Engine” forum and you’ll get some expert advice! Good luck and again welcome!
