So, I am wanting to do a full rebuild of my GMC 228 out of my 1950. I was informed that almost all of the heads on these motors are cracked. I am in shock because I thought these were well built motors. I Want to keep this truck as stock as possible. I don't care if I can' t drive across the country at 75mph. I am aware that these trucks were built to work. I just want to restore the old girl and spend my weekends putting around and waxing her. Why are these heads so "fragile"? I guess we will see if my head is cracked before tear down. Also, anyone know of great parts resource for the 228? Thanks.
