Re: Found my Great-Grandfathers 1959 GMC Apache
So glad this is turning out good. Get it running and charging, look for major electrical problems. Check headlights, signals, etc. Pull the drums and make sure it stops. Check for bad oil or other fluid leaks. Make sure it has antifreeze so you aren't into a new engine next spring. Then hit the wish list and start saving your money.
Do not be surprised if you feel your Grandfather sitting it the seat next to you when you drive, there is a lot of residual energy in that old metal...
