I love that old wrecker. The story behind it makes it worth saving. Let alone the great condition it is in. The first truck I drove was a 1968 GMC. 327 with three on the tree. I was eight years old. I would go nuts in those desert salvage yards. The 57 convertible is awesome as well. Who doesnt love a black 57?

Steve, So glad to see the "57" run....can hardly wait till you have given it the "Welderup" treatment. Wish we had the space and time for me to tell you about the "55" 210 that I bought from my childhood. My first cousin owned it till I was able to talk him out of it just recently and Our Son and I went completely through it and gave it to my Wife for our Anniversary. It's now complete with a real un molested 427 BB out of a Super Sport, Muncie M-22 4speed with a original brand new old stock Mr.Gasket Vertical Gate Shifter (that I got from a buddy that had till now never been mounted on a Transmission) a re-built Aftermarket Complete Moser 12 bolt. We re built everything that needed it and upgraded to 4wheel disc brakes new custom wheels and Mickey Thompson Rubber that fit inside the fenderwells (we had to do a mini tub job on the floor to accommodate the 33 inch wide rear tires but it needed rusty panels removed anyhow so that worked out good) Anyway long story short it's now her summer nice weather driving car that she drives back and forth to work....you should see the looks she gets driving that car....most I know expect a guy behind the wheel and she is constantly getting challenged by kids in new Mustangs or Challenger's to race but all she has to do is nail the throttle and shift gears and they leave her alone REAL QUICK.....LOL. Stay Safe Buddy and we will keep watching what your building.

I have driven several trucks home with no brakes. I drove my grandpa's '69 c-10 from Arkansas home to Kansas. He said it would never make it to Kansas. We threw a case of oil in the bed & took off. Those old chevy's are tough. Lost my grandpa's 69 in my divorce but still have the ex's grandpa's 68 GMC. He bought it new & I have the protect a plate with the truck. It is not only a big block with all the options but also has a factory posi. Thanks for reminding me of some good memories while you relive yours.

HUGE Convertible top hydraulic tip... inverted flare unions and plugs.. you need at least 3 unions and 6 plugs. when pulling each line off the pump.. put a plug in the side of the pump.. put a union on the hose with a plug in it. when you take off the other hose from the pump.. take the plug out of the union and put it in the other side of the pump. put the open hose into the union on the other disconnected hose.. now you pump is sealed.. so it does not drain all over the trunk. the hoses are sealed.. so they don't drain and guess what.. in this configuration you can manually operate the top as the fluid is free to flow as the pump is not locking the circuit.. pulling the cylinders do the same thing..

If I could set it up, how would it be to have a few pinup models to take pictures with some of your builds?! Either way, I need to get some Welder up swag, and no better place than from your shop!!!

Magnets in the corners of the fuel tank when you have them out collect all the rusty sediment to them. keep it out of the fuel system. even a magnet to the outside of the fuel tank can help.. 10 micron rated fuel filters before the mechanical fuel pumps protect the fuel pump check valves from sediment contamination.. with the hose to the carb disconnected and extended into a clean clear soda bottle.. the ignition coil disconnected so it can't create any sparks... 15 seconds of cranking while you observe the pulses of fuel into the bottle.. each pulse should be full and equal to the others. . do this full flow 15 second cranking test 3 times and it is usually enough to clean out sediment from the check valves and fuel pump cavity.
