Good deal on the heads if they aren't cracked. Make sure you get them magnufluxed for cracks before you put any money in them or install them.

I remember those days, all for the love of the car
already have an appointment with the machine shop, I was told soon as I get them, he wants me to hot tank them and disassemble them, then they will be magnufluxed.

Got the rest of the info on the heads, turns out they are 20 minutes from my friends house, he said he'd be more than happy to go give them a look over and pick them up for me this weekend, I have to go out his way for a show we are both going to, and will pick them up from him then. He's a great friend and a Mopar guy too (his first car was a '69 Dart 2 door hard Top, he still has it, and another '69 2 door post, as well as his newest toy, a '69 Fargo 100)
This is Mark's 1969 Fargo 100 (it has two different styles of dogdishes because the day he bought it, it had 16" on the front, 15" on the rear, it now has all 15"). 46,000 miles, bought new where Mark lives and was taken with the owner to Arizona, it came back with the owner and was sold to a body shop owner, he changed the faded blue paint to the red & white which was done correctly (took the cab all apart, pulled to bed off), it's not perfect, it's a driver, Mark loves going to the lumber yard with it and watching the look in peoples faces when he loads 4' x 8' sheets of plywood or 2" x 4" in it.
Mark plans to do a similar head swap and has already changed to 4 of the 15" steel wheels and dog dishes aswell as removing the mudflaps and changing the aftermarket bumper (which was there from day 1) to a factory style bumper.

That is a very cool truck! I like it a lot! What does it have for an engine/txsm?
318, 727, 8 3/4, basically the same as my car except it has a factory 4 barrel.

Great job!
That's a drastic improvement! Good job Nick!
Thanks guys, gives me hope having smaller things done, the bigger things have me slightly worried about meeting my goals.

what did you use for the chrome? looks great
A product called Bare Metal Foil, meant for Model cars, works perfect for this type of thing.
how well do you think it will hold up to use and cleaning? might have to pick some up
Well I've been using it for years on model cars of which I regularly polish, it may peel YEARS from now, but it'll probably still be good, I have friends who foiled models 20 years ago that still look perfect.

Fram Air filter
Fram PCV
Fram Clear fuel filter
Stant 180 Degree thermostat
Summit True Roller Timing chain
Autolite Copper plugs
Fel-pro full gasket set
Accel Dizzy cap & rotor
Accel Points and Condensor
Also ordered a quart of Chrysler Engine blue from Eastwood (among other things)
So thats a fair bit of my paycheck already spent.
