This is my 1st classic and one of the first things I'd like to do is a basic tuneup and oil change. My question is where do you buy spark plugs, air cleaners, etc for these trucks?
Also, where can I read/learn about changing the oil? Is it the same process as in a modern vehicle?
Thanks for the help!!!
Today is the best day of my life!!!

Most of the regular maintance items are available at your standard auto parts store. Napa stores tend to carry a little more stock for the older vehicles. Items that you can't find easily may have to be bought at a catalog house. Chevy Duty, Jim Carter, LMC Truck, are just the tip of the iceberg. If you need help finding a particular item, just ask for help right here on the forum and I'm sure someone will help. Also, look at the people who have similar trucks to yours on the gallery. You can usually contact these people and get help from them too.
