I've recently come to take possession of my late grand fathers 1969 Chevrolet Caprice. I don't know which engine it has yet, but I do know it's a Manual.

Not sure on mileage either. Just wondering where I start in the ownership of this? It'll probably never be driven - was just going to tarp it for a while until I figure out what to do with it. I can't sell it anytime soon, so that's not an option.

Not sure how many people here would know about these cars as they're almost 60 years old now but any advice is appreciated.

I’ve been chasing down this overheating issue for weeks now. I have replaced the thermostat, and it seemed to put a Band-Aid on the fix, after about two weeks, it started overheating again I replaced it with a Murray 182° OE thermostat , I replaced the water pump thermostat sensor. Had to pull the heads off and get them resurfaced. Got all new gaskets they said my heads were warped, flushed the radiator burped the system, installing another thermostat, replace the serpentine belt, replaced the belt tensioner (I heard that could be an issue too) started the truck back up and it’s still overheating

During this process, I turned the heater on and it was blowing cold air at 90°

GM, please fix full-screen Apple CarPlay on the 13.4” Silverado/Sierra infotainment system.
I own a 2025 Silverado, and frankly, I’m not happy that a truck this expensive still can’t properly use its entire 13.4-inch display for Apple CarPlay.
Android Auto can make much better use of the screen. The hardware is clearly capable of it. Yet CarPlay users are stuck with a large portion of an expensive display being wasted by GM’s current layout.
I’ve even gone into Android developer settings and changed the display density to 1280 just to make CarPlay larger. It helps, but it still isn’t the experience this screen should provide. Other owners are buying dongles, installing third-party software, and finding workarounds simply to accomplish something GM should offer natively.
And owners have been asking for this for YEARS.
Nobody is asking GM to remove the existing layout. Just give us a choice:
• Full-screen Apple CarPlay
• Current split-screen layout
That’s it. A toggle.
When someone spends this much money on a Silverado with the upgraded infotainment system, they shouldn’t have to hack developer settings or buy aftermarket hardware just to properly use the screen.
Please pass this along to the GM infotainment/software product team and seriously consider adding full-screen CarPlay through an OTA update.
There are a lot of Silverado and Sierra owners asking for the same thing. It’s time to fix it.
