This truck has a Factory 3/4 ton rear axle, with a 1 piece open drive shaft, and a Factory 4 speed on the floor manual transmission.
The Factory 4 speed manual transmission has a 1951, 235 passenger car powerglide engine attached to it.
Could it be possible that the Colorado park service ordered this truck with a:
1951, 235 passenger car powerglide engine along with a 3/4 ton rear axle?
What are the odds that someone put the same year 1951 235 babbit pounder PG engine in a 1951 Suburban.
If the original 216 engine blew, why not replace it with a full pressure 235 oilier.
