Newbie: Bringing this 62 home soon - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Over the Thanksgiving holiday I'll be going to pick up this '62 step. I'll be driving it from NC to TX.

I'm confident that it's road worthy but I'm wondering if I should put in some seat belts first.

How difficult of a job is that? Any tricks or things I should watch out for?

nice truck !!! Ah the adventure of the first road trip. Installing seat belts are fairly easy. Make sure you get an anchor kit with the belt. Most belts will come with diresctions. Good Luck !!

thanks.

i think the first thing i'll do when i get it home is take that goofy rear bumper off.

I wasn't sure which inline 6 it has in it but I just found out it's the 235 (which i'm told is a better engine than the 216... but not as good as the 261?).

are all three of these known as "stovebolts" or is it just the 235?
