so i picked up a 64 gmc c20 with the 305 v6 and had been sitting for awhile . went to change the oil and found a wix filter that came with a o ring gasket that was to small until i streched it to fit but now oil is leaking from the top and the bottom bolt . I feel like there is a o ring that should go there? Really would like to get a spin on filter for it. Any part number that work for the cartridge setup. its sitting in its own oil atm... I had to take a time out. its been one thing after another getting this motor to run right again. got the push rods to stay in place finally and stop popping out on cold starts. lol

Welcome to the forum, jimmyc! You'll find lots of tips and advice here from members like Funky. Keep us informed on your progress with your "new to you" truck. By the way, if it's a 3/4 ton, you've got a model #1500, not a C20 which is strictly a Chevy model number.
