Hey guys,

im new here and i will have many questions about my 39' GMC. Just to give you a little background on this truck, i had in inherited this GMC from my father who passed away 20 some years ago and who knows how many more years it sat in the rain before he passed. I know nothing about trucks and i have decided to restore this one to a drive-ability condition. Im not looking to do a complete restoration as the cost would be to great, but just simply to get in running on the road.

My main question for now is to know about the engine and what kind of motor do i have? Is it the original motor or a later year? How can i tell what engine it is?

Also, i have taken pictures of the engine, but im not sure if im able to post them here.

Thanks!!


GMC 1939 1/2 Ton
