I wish I would of paid more attention to my Dad in my high school years with him continually working on old cars/trucks. I appreciate the conversation and am determined to learn and work on my 63. Just from the forum, I want to keep the 305 with the plain valve covers which is cool. Thanks for the posts

Greetings Dan, and Happy New Year to all Club Members!
Glad you're keeping the 305 V-6. As was stated. far too many of these wonderful old GMC Trucks have wound up with Chevy 350 transplants. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with a Chevy 350 engine, in my opinion, they just don't belong, or have any place being in a 60 to 66 GMC Truck! Also, it's a good thing that your split rims were replaced with later style rims. Split rims were notoriously dangerous to work on, and caused many injuries, and even fatalities because of improper tire installations and handling. Congratulations on your aquisition of your truck! They're getting harder to find, and they are truly a Gem among trucks!
