Did you guys build this engine or clean up an old one?

I have a 59 straight six that is original. I want to clean it up, with out a full rebuild. On my 90 truck I spray with Simple green and wash her down. Do you have any engine cleaning tips?

Here is my "pet project", 1958 GMC 100 p/u. Not done yet. Will do an off the frame soon. 1970 Pontiac GTO 400 engine/ TH400/ third-gen camaro front clip/rear clip/lowering springs on front! Quickest truck between gas stations!!!

justplainray · 06-16-2009, 08:35 AM

Where were these pictures taken? I didn't think there were mountains in Kansas.

sastchimo · 06-16-2009, 10:06 AM

Those pics were taken in Colorado, back from the Viva Las Vegas Rat Rod show 09!!!

Panelman55 · 12-13-2009, 03:34 AM

I have a 55 PANEL Project. Hope for dry weather to get started working on her.

**Jurassic-1** · 02-19-2015, 07:51 PM

This is my new purchase. It is a 1955 California built truck. I purchased it from the 2nd owner. It has 63,000 documented miles on it. It has a hydromatic 4 speed trans in it. It has an old green repaint but has no rust and a perfect body. The old guy welded steel in the bed so I will try to carefully remove it. It was purchased new in AZ and I received all original papers. Title from 1955, Manual and document folder from dealer.

59Panel · 11-08-2009, 10:40 PM

My new acquisition. A 1959 Chevy Viking! We named her "Helga" She has seen a lot of tobacco and some open roads, about to see a driveway to hang next to a 57 3100 truck.

Helga took up every inch of our trailer. Big fun for a big truck! Anybody with Viking 40 experience please contact me!

50Bow-tied GMC · 11-08-2009, 11:29 PM

Here's my lenghty work in progress.

The front end of my 55 looks like this with the circle areas no fog lights.
Where can I find a replacement for it as mines pretty beat up
