Hi Folks!

Thia is my first post here, and boy am I glad to have found you. I knew there was a cool forum out there for me and my 1963 C10, and I have finally found it. Woohoo!

I bought "Gomer" in march of this year. He is as straight as can be, and wonderfully original. I aint gonna say what I paid for him cause it was full price, and with the economy going sour, I am probably way upside down. But, I dont care. My best friend and I are partners on this project, and it is so much fun.

He is Gomer because I remember Gomer Pyle USMC from that era, and the brown color reminds me of Gomer;s dress uniform.

I will try to post a photo. That may beyond my technical ability,..

I have a couple of pressing questions.

1. This is to anyone but especially "Ol Curt". I see early in this thread your "before and after" photos of your engine bay. Please tell me where you got the correct green engine paint! I have my oil pan off now ,and would love to get the right color on it before re-installing.

2. The reason I have the pan off is that my 230 6 banger has a leaky rear main. I have the back bearing cap off, and would appreciate ANY insight on forcing that upper seal out.

Thanks fellows! Be talking to you down the road!
