Those are some big valves! lol Did you have a regrind done? Sorry...I haven't read through the whole build.

Re: 1962 Gmc dump truck
 

They were brand new heads still in the GM box there was a little surface rust so we blasted them , new valves , rotaters and springs
Had to resurface them ther were some dry spots , basically do a valve job
They are pretty!!!

Backing up a bit, where did you get your fuel tanks?

Re: 1962 Gmc dump truck
 

Well I usually buy my tanks for my Peterbilt's at alenjack , but they were just too expensive so I got these from alumi tank , I kind of wanted them period Correct went with the flat ends in Lou of the Peterbilt Domed ends

they did a real nice job haven't took the protective tape off that yet hopefully everything is okay

Re: 1962 Gmc dump truck
 

Thanks, they look good!
I looked at the site. I like the international style step tanks too. Thats a lot of fuel outside the frame though.

Re: 1962 Gmc dump truck
 

Yeah I don't think they have those style of tanks on the GMC's or Chevys tell the 70s
You would just want to make sure that you had crossmembers real close otherwise it could bow the frame

Re: 1962 Gmc dump truck
 

Hmmm hadn't thought of the bow issue, thanks for the heads up.
