Re: 1964 gmc 1000

tearing into more of the motor tonight took the carb off going to rebuild it im getting a full gasket set so i pulled off the exhaust and intake manifold, pulled out the distributor and took off the push rod covers found a nice mess in there!

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

Looks like you have a bit of cleaning to do ;)

How are you holding you plywood bed in BTW? I can't tell from the picture whether you bolted that in or is it just riding on top of the bed supports?

:metal: Lookin' good tho' :metal:

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

i got some self tappers that are about 2 1/2inchs long going into the bed supports

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

Of course, now it's gonna look like I copied you :haha:
