Re: Starting my 55 series 2 short bed step side
I learned to drive my Dad's 1959 GMC when I was 16. He showed me how to rebuild the brakes, flush the rad and other things. This stage of learning are the building blocks of learning how these old time capsules work. I hope you see where I'm going here... get it road safe and reliable all stock first. It's cheap, easy and super rewarding and informative. Once you've mastered these basic repairs, you too will have the foundation upon which to really build it the way you want.
Side note. A couple of years ago a guy stopped by my house to admire an old car I had. He then showed me his car. A 1969 Pontiac Firebird with a factory 400! He was so proud of his car! All stock and so sweet!! He was 19 years old.
