replace head gaskets??

I rebuilt my tranny in my 74 f 100 390 4x4. after getting the tranny in I noticed an oil leak, its the back of my intake. so while I was under there with the flashlight i noticed at the back corner of the drivers side head, I could just see some antifreeze. It was just seeping enough I could barley see it, not dripping(yet) since im re gasket-ing the intake, should i put new head-gaskets on??

I would since you'll be pulling the intake off. You can do it now or wait till it gets worse and have to do it all over again. Just think of it as a nice weekend project.

Make sure it's not antifreeze coming from the end of the intake.
