I have limited experience and I hope to gain a lot of insight from everyone here. Just started working on the rebuild of my Grandfather's 1952 GMC Truck. I am also journalling my adventure at www.facebook.com/1952GMCTruckTake a look and let me know what you think. I've already hit a few hiccups when replacing the fuel system. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Hi Jeff, welcome. It's always cool when the truck has some family history. These trucks are not really too complicated. Let us know if you need help.

Also,by joining this forum you've also got a new larger 'family',all 30,853 of us!
I had a quick look at your facebook,BTW the mystery part you found,if you haven't already discovered is the radio delete plate from your dashboard.
They're actually quite a sought after part.
Good luck,and if there's anything you need just check in and the guys will help.
