Here's another 50 Chevy done very similar to the one in Elk City. This one found in northern New Mexico must have been a runaround truck back in...
Definitely a 58 Savoy: [ATTACH]
The 5 window in my avatar [ATTACH]
Yes, that did seem rather strange since my L-110 and every other original plate I've seen on older Internationals are mounted with round head...
Can't help you first hand since mine is a L-110, but here is a plate off of a 1946 K-1 that was auctioned on Hemmings a year and a half ago and it...
GMC started using coil springs on the rear in 1960
[ATTACH] Yes, they are the correct 15" wheels. The probably easier to find mid-50s Pontiac 15" wheels have very similar if not the same centers...
While Pontiac went to 14" wheels starting in 1957, at least in 1962 15"x6" wheels were optional and part of the HD brake package option. Forgive...
The crank ratchet is a bolt that can be removed with a deep socket, 1-1/4" if memory serves correctly. Take it off and then use a standard...
It is also now on their website: Pate has been rescheduled to October 1-3, 2020. They also state current reservations will be rolled over to the...
Too late! Closed and crushed in 2014 . . . [ATTACH]

From the 1961 Chevrolet Vehicle Information Kit: [ATTACH]
Agree with 1-Shot, the wagon tailgate window plus change in fender contour at the "D" pillar area definitely suggest a cut wagon.
Bingo: [ATTACH]
You sure you bought a 5 on 4-3/4 wheel or could it be a 5 on 5 wheel? Your measurement looks like a 5 on 4-3/4 hub, not 4-1/2. Check the...
+1 on Cornhusker. Gary will sell you just the adapter or up to a complete kit including clutch: [ATTACH]
My goodness!! 48 Cad and 57 Chevy convertibles rotting next to each other?[ATTACH]
Hey hdman6465, your truck must be modified because my truck plus GM literature has the axle below the spring: [ATTACH] If you do not want to weld...
Rally caps rely on nubs to ensure the cap stays on the wheel and it appears your fabricated wheel rings do not have them. Add some weld beads or...
As 42merc says put it in reverse when you park and the car will stay put. There is a shaft internal to the transmission that disengages the...
Was the car titled in your name? If so maybe it is a newer requirement, the last car I've sold overseas was about Christmas a year ago and none...
Building and selling a car as a private individual every other year in itself is not a problem. The "got-ya", however, is selling a car for a...
Look in the wheelwell at the rear about half way up, there is a bolt through the inner fender to the firewall, one on each side. And there should...
540 RAT makes some very important points, for one, too much ZDDP is also harmful. But it is interesting while he claims over and over he is...
I guess I can not imagine growing up any other way . . . [ATTACH]
+1 on this: After the control valve the most probable cause . . .
The fact it works in one direction points to a problem with the control valve. Probably first thing to do is check that the ball stud properly...
Depends on your skills. But the bottom line; 2 door, 4 door, hardtop, sedan, all use the same stamped roof panel, so yes it will definitely fit....
If you would cut out the roof sheet metal panel they are interchangeable. This is true for all closed 62-63 Galaxies excepting the wagons and 63...
