I posted this truck up on the body/interior section and now I'm working on the engine.

Recap:

Got the truck from my dad after he up-graded and it has been sitting a while due to an over heating problem. After tearing it down last night this is what I found:



This is the worst cracked head I've seen in a long time. Cracked between the valves is pretty usual but the crack vertically is not all that usual. Guess dad got it pretty hot.

Found a head yesterday off an 82 D150 318. It's in good shape and as I'm limited to the funds for this endeavor there will be no machine work. Old head and new head have been straight edged and appear flat and not warped. So I'm going back together with it this morning.

I'm not trying to build a hotrod truck just a daily driver that the kids can drive too.
