John Goreham Contributing Writer, GM-Trucks.com 6-19-2019 If you are a fan of vintage Chevy trucks, you need to check out Wheeler Dealers Episode 3 of season 20. You can find it on the "Motor Trend" channel on your TV feed, or you can go to this link and watch it on your computer free (if you sign up for a 14-day trial.) GN-Trucks.com has no affiliation with Motor Trend. If you had "Velocity" on your TV feed, this is the replacement channel for it. As a fan of Wheeler Dealers who has seen every episode, I will warn you that this particular one is unusual in some ways. In many episodes Ant actually builds his own tools to do maintenance and repairs, and he even fabricates parts from scratch. This turnaround is more of an upgrade to an already awesome truck. There is a great transmission shop scene and the shots of the underside of the truck when they work on the suspension will make anyone living in the snow belt jaw drop. The truck is PERFECT underneath. We can't show you much more of the episode or even images without stealing from someone else's family bread, but you can see a quick shot of the truck in the image at the top of our page. Feel free to weigh in if you've seen it, or to chat about Wheeler Dealers in general. Just for the record, I loved Edd, but I am now also a big Ant fan (Makes sense if you know the show).

I inherited a beautifully restored 54 GMC truck. In the driver’s side door jam there is a metal sticker with serial/engine # on it. I also have the original title with a vin and a “tab #” on it. The motor is original and matches door jam tag. At the DMV CA they have a VIN # associated with the truck (starts with E followed by 9 numbers). They want me to have law enforcement inspect truck to make sure the title matches the vin before they transfer title to me. I can’t find any vin on truck that matches the info the dmv and title claim. I know the person who left it to me would not have started process of reg at dmv if the number wasn’t valid. Thanks for any ideas on this.

Hi I've just recently bought a 1972 chevy C50 dump truck. Driving it home the emergency brake seizes up and both driveshafts blow out the bottom. The drum for the e-brake is destroyed along with the rear driveshaft. There's a 16 spline as well that was damaged. I'm trying to find lengths of rear driveshaft, what drum they used on the e-brake and the 16 spline, female side, any info will help thanks
