'69 250 Engine Rebuild

[pgaffaney]

Hello all,
New to the forum, although I've been on the site for quite a while getting a ton of information to research the purchase of my first C10, so I wanted to say thank you for all the great knowledge out there. What a great community! I finally found/bought my truck and am ready for the fun to begin.

As for the rebuild, the truck is a '69 LB with the original 250 motor. I went back and forth about putting in a 327 or 350, but decided to keep the truck original and rebuild the 250. The 250 still runs great with strong compression. The only thing wrong is a leaking rear main seal. I had an itch to go through the motor, so I thought why not?

I started with front end disassembly...Bumper, hood, fenders, radiator, grille, etc. and now have it ready to pull the engine and transmission this upcoming weekend.

Anyways, I'm sure I'll have some questions along the way and will keep you posted on the progress.
