Thanks for the advice I pan on going ahead and doing a gasket kit on the motor. I was looking at videos online and I seems the best way to do major work on these engines is to take the whole front clip off. I'm thinking of doing a complete resto so I may have the cab and everything off anyways. Not completely sure on that.
Also I tried to post a picture but it is saying the file is to large so I will have to get my wife to make it work when I get home from work tomorrow.
Also with a full resto from the frame up what is a truck like this worth?
