Re: The one without a garage

So as stated above I got a little list to go thru. 1st is the engine leak from what I could see it was coming down the drivers side and the rear of the block. Was able to fix the drivers side issue after jacking up the block and removing the motor mount. Which I done all with my 3/8 socket set, these trucks were made to work on by the average joe. I'm a shade tree mechanic at best more of a parts changer but I'm learning. Now I still have one leak hoping its not the rear freeze plugs, luckily its the intake. The PO told me he had done a 4bbl intake swap. So I'm digging around and find a leak on the back side of the intake. This leads to a whole Saturday morning pulling the top of the engine and putting new gaskets and gasket maker down to hopefully solve my problem. Then re-assembly which I had my trusty 1969 shop manual to reference (best investment for working on these trucks). Here's some pics below of the tear down and repair.
