reTruck - news!

reTruck was originally conceived as a new way to bring old trucks back to life - remanufacturing instead of restoration.

Well, we're finally getting it together to produce our first genuine reTruck.

Follow the progress here.

My 1978 GMC SuburbanI've always loved GM trucks, and over the years I have owned, restored and just plain enjoyed dozens of them. They have ranged from show-quality to farm trucks, from 4X4 Blazers, to plain-Jane pickups, through a variety of Suburbans from the seventies and eighties. Today I own two pickups, two Suburbans and a '76 motorhome on a P-van chassis.

In order to help other guys fixing up these venerable vehicles, I'm placing my library of Chevy/GMC light truck technical information on this site. It will take a while to complete, but I think it will prove to be useful. Enjoy!

About The Old Car Manual Project

First and foremost, the Old Car Manual Project is a library: a central place where anyone can come to get the information they need.

How this happens is by volunteers scanning their hard-to-find documents into a digital format, so that everyone can have access to the information in them

Why are we doing this?

Why not? But really - one of the hardest parts of restoring or servicing old machines is getting decent technical information. Often, it's difficult, impossible or expensive to obtain. We think that this kind of information should be freely available, as a public resource for the preservation of our industrial history.
