Hey here is my 1965 GMC project that ive Been working on for the last while

Sorry about some of the pics some were taken with a cell phone
i got the truck From a good friend almost 3 years ago it was his uncles truck who died in a plane crash he was planing on fixing it but had to many other projects on the go ( he has lots of old trucks and cars ) this was to be my first resto so i hope you guys enjoy it as much as i have so far

Lets start off with the engine its a 230 straight 6 .... when i first got the we tried turning it over with no luck until we pulled it apart and found that number 4 was rusted shut so i had an option toss it get a V8 like everyone else try to find a good used 6 and rebuild it or fix this engine.... well we decided to fix this one it cost about $850 to fix
the engine only had 73549 original miles so it was worth keeping

Work done
Head
combustion chambers were cleaned and head was resurfaced and 2 new valves ( guides were fine)
