intake pushrods bent. left side #6 same thing
only intake pushrods look bent but will pull all rockers off to check all.
the truck has only run to drive home 6 miles 1-1/2 years ago.
this is a project so wont pull heads now, but know I have to.
any good mechanics out there might have idea?
thanks

Check the rocker arm studs to see if they have pulled out of the head.(check the length above the head with a couple that are still tight) I had two of the intake studs pulled on my '70 C-20.(#1 & #6) I replaced one of them and double nutted the other one and drove it back in with a brass hammer. Been running great for the last 3 years.
