Project-GMC Slant Nose - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im starting my new project, a 1968 GMC Shortbed Stepside, that from the Vin decode came with a 6 cylinder. Wonder if I have 3:55 gears, I heard they were installed on trucks with 6 cyls in them. Right now it has a 327ci installed with what looks like some cleaned up or new vette ram horns.

My plan was to get the engine running first, but after taking off the intake I see some rust on the heads and in the runners. So I might just concentrate on the rest of the truck. cleaning and painting the frame and working on the suspension, lowering, disc brakes, etc etc. Any input will be welcomed.
