Bringing my Grandfather's 1972 Longbed Stepside C10 back to life

[bwl101]

Getting the 305 ready to paint. Got new water pump mounted and have ports not being used plugged. Went with a short water pump because that's what the 307 had on it. Only needed a small spacer for water pump pulley and crank pulley to line up. Plan to paint everything black other than intake manifold and carb. I have new orange tall valve covers with Chevrolet in black. Also have a matching air cleaner. My new distributor is also black. Piecing it together a little bit at a time.
