1936 GMC Pickup

[newcollector]

This is my first time to post - so if I make a mistake, bear with me please.

I'm looking for information on a 1936 GMC pickup. So far, I'm not having much luck. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Hello, I have a 36 GMC. What can I help you with ?

[rgshafto]

GMCs of that era had Pontiac running gear. the Pontiac-Oakland Club would be another source of information.

The 1936 GMC had a 213 Oldsmobile engine.

Gee and I thought my bosses '37 GMC pick-up was rare !

It goes without saying of course your first step

is to obtain a 1936 GMC Shop Manual and if you can find one

an original Parts Manual can also be great help.

Reproduction Shop manuals are available...

but treat them gently as they typicaly have poor bindings.

I feel its worth it to find an original if you can,

E-bay is the best spot to look.

Do a search on "gmc +36" to narrow down the choices.

If you can't find an exact GMC manual a "MOTORS" garage manual

for Multiple Makes of TRUCKS covering the years around your truck

would give you the basics.

These can often be found in the $10 to $25 range if you are patient

and keep looking, be sure to find one specifically for TRUCKS.

Also a Copy of Hemmings Motor News...

"The Bible of The Old Car Hobby" @ www.hemmings.com

will give you a good list of parts suppliers.

You may also find help at the American Truck Historical Society

www.aths.org who maintain a message forum similar to ours.

Good Luck with your New Truck,

Welcome aboard. I just got some window cranks as well as a trunk handle from a guy that goes by the name of "the handle man". You might want to email him, from what I understand, this is all he carries. However, it would be best if you could send him a photo of the ones you are looking for. He has literally thousands of them. His email address is thehandleman@comcast.net

His name is Rich, and seems to be a really nice guy.

A great source of info and parts for both GMC and Chevrolet trucks 1930 and newer is Jim Carter Truck parts, they are also great people. Many parts are interchangable, but not all.

Ebay is another great source of parts, and lastly I have alot of NOS brake parts if you need them. professorpat@hotmail.com
