New addition and an introduction

[CaptHutch66]

Just purchased a 1952 GMC 6 cyl, with a 4 spd hydra-matic trans. Got it to fire up pourin gas in the carb (bad fuel n tank) and workin on the coil wire (been sitting for several years). Was previously shown (see pics) prior to a fire in the shop. All original except for the addition of; power seats and A/C. I will be needing help from all of you guys with the expert advice,,,,already met "Ray"...Raycow who seems to be pretty knowledgeable, and I'm looking forward to meeting the rest!!!!! I will be adding a "build thread" in the next few weeks. Was just wondering why hasn't a "frequently asked questions thread been added for the 1947-1955" board? Thanks in advance, Hutch

hey Hutch. I'm on the north side of Atl. Welcome, although I haven't been very long myself. Looks like a nice rig you got there. I guess those bottom pics were from "back in the day"?

[CaptHutch66]

Yes sir.....the last pics were just about 2 years ago, he got blistered up in a shop/garage fire and the guy had some bad luck trying to get em fixed back up! Gonna try and make him proud! PM me when you are headin out and about, we go to alot of the local stuff around. Take care, Hutch
