One thing I've learned years ago with header gaskets on a chevy or otherwise (paper gaskets) double them up on each side, place them in a bucket of water before mounting (torque them up to spec) and fire it up to seal. I never had a blow out or crack doing that time and again. Also that gen of C series, like the rest of the stuff out of that era really. The bodies were all hand drawn unlike the cab forward computer cad designed garbage of the modern era. And really between the step side and fleet sides, I can't even pick a favorite because they both are just eye candy.
Big man those Wheels look a lot better on that truck anytime you can fill up the fender well it looks a lot better change out the plugs in the truck and run a non-ethanol gas that's what I had to do with my two muscle cars that ethanol gas turns to jelly
