    Original Overlander, 1955 Chevy 3800 Van

    I understand your pain. Just finished my auction, and about 95% of the trucks have been picked up. 25 years of collecting and 'poof', in 3 months history. As collectors, we can always hope that the new owners will treat them with the reverence that we did. Mike

    Old GMC Truck Auction

    The COE'S were normally supplied as a cab and chassis, and after market builders supplied the body to order. I had a '48 GMC COE that was just the cab and chassis.

    Old GMC Truck Auction

    SD is not that far from TX. I found several of these trucks in SD, and rather enjoyed the drive! What is the VIN # for your early 50's GMC? The 9' box was supplied only for 1 ton trucks. Mike

    Oil filter part number

    Oil filter part number

    FWIW: The Delco PN# for their 2 qt filter is PF932. Had the local Advance Auto store order in a half dozen for me. Don't remember the unit cost, but not enough to break the bank. It is stickered with a "Product of USA" label.

    What are some options for mud flaps?

    I know we used to sell class 8 rubber flaps at OReillys; I think the size was 20x30. Bracket kits are available from any number of big truck parts suppliers. The ones we had were scored for easy size reduction.

    '89 Burb V2500 JB7 Different Pad Options?

    That explains the 7300 GVWR the diesel got, for the increased HP & increased Torque.

    '89 Burb V2500 JB7 Different Pad Options?

    You didn't mention if your truck is 2wd or 4wd, or 1500 or 2500? Also, where did the 7300 GVW number come from? Door jamb sticker, RPO sticker? Diesel or gasoline?

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    Roger, What year did they start putting digital cruise modules in the regular production vehicles?

    Found this at Copart Spokane

    Maybe someone can explain why you can't buy the vehicle? Here in Texas, we have our wholesale auto clearing houses, which require you to have a DEALER license to buy at one of their auctions.
