I will flip this over to the Projects side this weekend. I want to try and keep it original but the original motor may be bad.
What would a 3/4T have in it? Is it still a 216?
There is a forum member selling a rear axle complete for a 1953 1/2ton and he has a 235 hydraulic lifter motor. I need to find the cross reference thread so I don't keep asking questions.
