Re: 1960 GMC Suburban

So it has been moving along..slowly but moving. We fired it up after many years and it literally purred like a kitten but it leaked like broken dike from a freeze plug. Figuring that when one leaks after 58 years, the others would soon follow.

Decided to pull the engine to replace all the freeze plugs with easy access. That led to reinstalling the original type 3-speed on the tree transmission. Which led to a new clutch and bearings..which led to a new starter, which led to a new oil pump... I mean..it was already out and taken apart..

Engine compartment cleaned and to be painted.
