It was a Felpro gasket failure.
As you know my brother is a gasket maker.
We designed a new head gasket and I'm just waiting for it to be finished.
New tooling, new coating, new layout.
It's a nice deal.
I'll write it up when I get it.

Blue original parts vs chrome aftermarket
Sorry for the attitude. It seems that everyone wants an engine of chrome,
wide tires on spoked rims. Us stock guys are in the minority.
What's the fire truck like? Who built it. What are the specks? Is it ready
to respond? I owned a real one for 11 years. It was a 55 Peter Pirsch built for
the Waukesha Fire Dept. Open cab, Waukesha gas 6 of 779 cid, Spicer 5-speed, Ross cam & roller steering, Hale 1,000 rpm pump, 500 gallon
booster tank. It was equipped as it was in service. it was front line for
20 years and best reserve for 15 more.
Email me pictures of your rig at jrtljt031648@att.net I'll return pics of our
75 F-150 and the Pirsch.

... except for the hubcaps.
Kidding aside, that's purty.

I'm actually with you on that, but they worked for the time being.
It's got a Dana 80 floater in the rear. Those are the only style caps I could find that are the same in two different sizes.
When I get time I'm gonna switch the 80 out and put a lighter duty deal in.
And find some real dog dishes.

My fridge is always full of beer if you make it out here.
As for my collection, I'm in full flight on two of them right now building engines.
Kids are all grown so I'm livin' the dream.
