Welcome abord. I am restoring a 59 and neeed loads of help also my first restore.

dwcsr · 04-09-2006, 12:42 PM

Most of us are in variuos states of building so I think you will get most of the help you need here. Another good resource is www.webrodder.com it has a lot of tech articles and a forum of hotrod builders with years of experince.

Get the "GM restoration pack" if you haven't already and the "Assembly manual" for your year. I think 552nd - 59 are almost the same but slightly different between GMC and Chevy.

Chevrolet Phone # 1-800-222-1020 you will need the VIN and year of the truck.
or write:
GM Customer Service
Chevrolet
P.O. Box 33170
Detroit, Michigan 48232-5170

I don't know if GMC has a resto pack but you may call and find out. The resto pack is free but the manual you have to buy from a reseller.
