    Thinking of buying this '51 GMC...

    I have always liked that range of year GMC. My dad had one for a while when I was growing up on the farm in Kansas. By the time I was able to drive legally at 14, he had a 54 Ford which I liked too. It had a strange problem of occasionally not shutting off when turning the key off. It was...

    Original 5 blade red fan temp fix question

    My fan was already locked with longer bolts when I bought it in 1980. It does make considerable noise at higher rpm but it has never come apart in the 36 years I have owned it. It has seen many excursions to redline. I don't recall ever changing the water pump either. It may have gotten...

If I want to carve some corners I get behind the wheel of...

    Polluting the gene pool

    I wouldn't try submersing it in up to 6 ft of water without a snorkel on the engine and maybe on the driver too. Nice find.

    Where does this screw belong?

    That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it but I don't remember it having sheet metal threads. I'll have to take a look. I need to get in there and replace the clock anyway.

    Nod to an Old Car and an Owner Years Ago.

    That is a great reflection of something that was once great. You brought that car to life. You could put the name of great horse in the place of that car in much of that story and it would feel the same.

    Slow Clock???

    There is an adjustment screw accessible from the back that can be used to set the clock to the right speed. This requires removal of the clock. The unfortunate thing is it usually slows down again after a few years. I have two clocks and when one quits, I have the other one set and ready to...
