They were brand new heads still in the GM box there was a little surface rust so we blasted them , new valves , rotaters and springs
Had to resurface them ther were some dry spots , basically do a valve job
They are pretty!!!
Hastings sent us the wrong oil control ring , so they will be coming Monday
Should have this baby back together in a week or two

Thanks, they look good!
I looked at the site. I like the international style step tanks too. Thats a lot of fuel outside the frame though.

Yeah I don't think they have those style of tanks on the GMC's or Chevys tell the 70s
You would just want to make sure that you had crossmembers real close otherwise it could bow the frame
