Removed the ugly Mickey Thompson, finned aluminum valve covers and the stupid T-Handle bolts that held them on. I replaced them with factory valve covers from a later model SBC. Since I am using the old style breather, I welded up the hole for the breather cap on the passenger side and just ran the PCV on the driver side. I also cut off the brackets for the plug wires and repainted them. Now that I have the shorter, stock style valve covers, I can get a shorter drive belt for the alternator and get that back in the middle of the adjustment instead of at the end of it.

Trying to bring the look back towards a stock truck, not a Teenage Hot Rod nightmare.

Future update will include removing the plug in the draft tube hole and installing a custom plug that will accept a PCV, then plumbing that into the system and replacing the current valve covers with the Chevrolet Script ones. But, that is further down the road.
