I recently bought a 65 GMC c-10 that my father and I are working on. I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all those willing to share their "know-how" with folks like me. This site is by far the best thing around!!

Drop by the McGavock High School Auto Mechanics shop sometime, and check out the 51 Chevy BelAir we're restoring. Not a pickup, but an old stovebolt just the same!

Let me know. I plan to update the photos as more work is done. And as for the motor, it still has the 230 3.8 in it. I plan on keeping that motor in it for the time being, but who knows what we may end up doing to it.
