Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

The original Orrie, my grandfather, told me a story about dropping the pan in the middle of know where and using a piece of leather to tighten up a main to get back to town. He was also a fan of sawdust in transmissions to quiet them down. He also told be how you could count the number of cords showing on the tires and use that as a bargaining point to get a lower price. You have to work pretty hard to kill these old Chevy sixes.
