Re: [old-chevy-truck] The Big 100k
What a great story! Have you posted any pictures of the truck? I'm sure all of us would love to see the original before restoration. Good luck, and I know from experience, you'll have a blast.

This information was on the original title, which was signed over to this Kansas boy at Virgil's estate auction on April 22, 2010.

Glove box, headliner, gauges, spare tire carrier, heater, sheet metalall there because Virgil took care of it. The leather tool pouch was probably sold in a box of miscellaneous stuff because I didn't know they existed. I guess I'm feeling a bit nostalgic tonight because this 3600 is just on the verge of turning over the 100,000 mile mark. 1600 miles per year average.

[old-chevy-truck] Re : Easy Bushing Removal
Sure ! . Get a hardwood dowel that -barely- slips into the bushing , then pack the bushing full of grease , lay the end cap on a sturdy surface and , wearing safety glasses , _SMACK_ they dowel into the grease filled bushing and the hydraulic force will press it right out . Messy but this works gangbusters and doesn't damage anything . It also works a treat on those firmly stuck in place flywheel bushings . I'm sure you know NAPA sells the correct bushings , brushes and so on . -Nate Bob wrote : Anybody got any neat tricks to remove the copper bushing on the back end of the generator?

[old-chevy-truck] 235 Engine Head Bolts
I have posted this question before, but wanted to see if any newcomers have any idea if the I followed the answer(s) correctly that I received last time. Basically, I have a newly rebuilt 1955 235 with the 838 head casting. I used all grade 8 standard (not GM shouldered) head bolts to attach the head to the block. My concern is were the shouldered bolt(s) were REALLY necessary that I need to replace the standard bolts with the special shouldered bolts. Someone mentioned the center bolt on the passenger side (I assume the very outside bolt). This bolt does have a small pipe plug right below the surface of the head of the bolt on the side of the head casting that looks like it could seal off oil, although it might be water; don't know for sure. What other knowledge is out there? BTW, I had this block modified to be full flow oil using the instructions from Langford (if that makes any difference).
