Grateful to have found this Forum!

I ran a '69 Pontiac with a 350 "back in the day"... Learned most of what I know about old school wrenching from that car and the few that followed her. Recently got into vintage GMC truck world with my teenage son... We bought a "barn find" '92 K2500 and have been having fun with the basics -...
