How can I get ahold of this Tana?

I've blown the head gasket twice now on my '68 520. The most recent head gasket lasted 200 miles and blew big time. My theory is I need new cylinder head studs. Mine are fairly corroded and could use replacing anyway. I've also pressure tested the cylinder head, which passed. Question 1: Fair assessment? Or should I be looking at something else too? Question 2: Where can I buy cylinder head studs for a J13? ARP doesn't make them. Any interchangeable parts I should know about? I've had this poor truck for only a year now and I've MAYBE put 500 miles on it. She spends more time on the lift than on the road.

Anyone have recommendations for body work/restoration/paint services in the Seattle area? My '68 520 needs some love. The Green Dragon is now more like mushy pea soup with some rust.

Anyone know a good source for weather stripping kits for my '68 Datsun 520 pickup (other than eBay Thailand)? Any leads on a new complete weatherstripping kit would be appreciated!
