lol wish i had buddys that could lend a hand like some of you folks. but unfortunately there isnt a whole lot of guys i know with a chevy or older car.

77ChevySharkBite · 11-30-2012, 08:29 AM

I'll say it like this I have a buddy that helped me with my power steering pump, hardly ever worked on a vehicle in his life and he helped me install it not so much about the knowledge though that's nice it's more about willingness
