    Something seems to be missing.... it's about 7" long and 5/16" in diameter with a hole in it. haha.



    Looks like a fun little project. I would've killed to have got it for that price!

    Lol, smooth sailing so far.And we jumped on it for that.

    Should I put the heads off with the manifolds or pull the manifolds off the heads?

    2 Autolites and 4 Bosch's. That's kinda comical. Gaps look horribly tight.

    Finally got both heads off. Both head gaskets were blown. Hopefully I can just do the head gaskets after I get the heads checked.

    Nice score on the truck. How many miles are on it?
    I bet with some work that will make a great daily driver.
