Hi everybody,
I'm new to the list and have been lurking a few days. I've got my grandad's
'59 GMC 100 that I need a couple of odd parts for. I searched the archives
and found the repro billet turn signal escutcheons. Maybe I'll try a set if
I can't find a correct pair.
The other part I'm looking for is a gear reducer (??) for the speedometer.
The shop manual doesn't mention it. The truck's a 270/four-speed. The
"reducer" screws into the transmission, and the speedo cable screws into the
reducer. When I was a kid (almost 40 now), this part went bad and I threw
it away (!!). I then screwed the speedo cable directly into the
transmission. The speedo reads much slower, but works. Anybody got one?
Also looking for a parts truck with decent sheet metal (no bed necessary,
Chevy OK). I'm in NW Alabama.
Great to see a list for these great old trucks!
Regards,
GOP
