Owning a older (pre-60s) GMC is kind of a "good news, bad news" deal. Bad news is that some parts can be a challenge to find, like sheet metal and emblems that differed from Chevrolet, and the motor

I recommend you acquire a 6-bolt 270 crank and flywheel. GMC changed to this design for a very good reason - 4 bolts don't do a very good job of holding the flywheel on, even on a stock engine. Cons

All the shop manual says is "remove rotator caps"(!) It's been a while but I think they are a light press fit, like a lash cap. They should pry off using a screwdriver. If you plan on re-using them,
