WTB 305 V6 valve covers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need 305 V6 valve covers from a 68 or 69 GMC. The right side will have an oil filler and a breather cap and hose. The left side will have no openings.

A member just found a set for me...not sure if it is the years you're looking for, but he mentioned that he knows where there are three V 6 trucks now.

Not to steal the post or anything, but can somebody post some more close-up pics of that V6 engine. I have heard very little about these, and I think that I know where there is one at. Is it considered a big block?? I just looked at one maybe 4 months ago, and if I saw pictures of one I would know for sure.

Thanks,

Travis

yeah, that is the motor that is sitting in a 68 or 9 (I think, I am still learning). what are they worth?? I am not even sure if this turns over, but I am going to look into it. Where can you get a rebuld kit for it?? How much?? Sorry for stealing your post Erl.
If this has the valve covers on it that you need and they are in decent shape, then I will let you know. I know that that the truck that it is in is rotted really bad...not even close to fixing.

wannabe,
Kanter sells a rebuild kit, and NAPA has most of the parts. Check out the site in BobS's post above. Let me know on those valve covers.

i know where there are a couple of sets in the junk yards here. they are rusted and pitted but there.
let me know and I'll make a phone call.

big blue 72,
They need to be in restorable conition. A little surface rust is not a problem. They must have the breather cap and hose.
Thanks
