Hello all.

I just purchased a 1959 GMC Fleet Series Option (first GMC).

Here are a couple of pictures.

It is an automatic with a 350. It is my understanding that these trucks came with a straight six. Does anyone whether the stock transmission is compatible with a 350. I'm totally new to GMC/Chevy?

Previous owner said there is a leak in the gas tank. Can these be fixed or is it better to get a new tank? I'm not certain if it is a broken tank or just some seal that my have worn out.

Thank you
