On a trip to Calf I saw one for sale in a side yard but a widow lady wanted all the money that her hubby had put into it for 10 years. This poor guy was way over his head & I could see that I would have to go over some of the things he had repaired or replaced. I gave this lady a fair offer & my fone # with a promise that I would restore the truck the way her husband would have wanted. Months later  I got the call at my $. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 | So, like, are we ever gonna find out what it is, this great old GMC?

Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.
| | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 | this is a hard room for sure...I'm trying to get the hang of sending pics & went thru the posting on webshots so I'm confident that even with my limited intellect, I'll get it. The truck is a 49 gmc 100 with the 228. We got it running yesterday but the carb needed to be hot tanked. It has been sitting since the old guy passed 14 mths ago & no one could figure out what all the hanging wires were about. We also had zero brakes but that was an easy fix this morning. Pics are coming for sure... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 | PS- forgot to add, Thanks for the welcome. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | Hello Jim,

We were able to test the clutch,brakes & charging system as well as drive it for a distance. It's a great feeling when you get one of these old 'ladies' up & running. I also have been doing the viniger de-rust trick from the tips section & i have it going well. It's a lot cheaped doing that than the powder coating guy. Pics are coming. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 341 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 341 | Welcome Jim! Always nice to have another Northwesterner around, I'm in Southwest Idaho.
