the original 216 in the 1939 1.5 ton is weak. I know where there is a 235 out of a 1967 pu, tip-top shape. I find that the 216 is a 2nd generation L6 and 1967 235 is a 3rd generation L6 motor. Am I looking for trouble if I try to bring this together? Bellhousing, front and rear mounts, generator-belt-water pump? Haven't found any specific info on the 1967 235 motor. I'm not that sharp a mechanic, I know there's been slight changes over time on this motor. I'm slowly working my way through this 39, just wanted to make it safe to drive, what a mistake! Any comment will be helpful. I'm sure there is a discussion on motor swaps here, I just couldn't find it. Any mechanics around Wenatchee that would want to help me? This trk carried 2 horses way up into the Cascade Mnts. for the forest service out of Winthrop in the Methow Valley for years, went through several hands. (as a firewood hauler I'm sure). One owner installed the 2 speed rear end, until I found out, I assumed the forest service ordered it that way. Everything under the cab is 1938 TB series, the cab and motor are 39 and the headlites are 1940. I'm not going to assume it came from factory that way but it probably did. Has the heavy duty round blinkers on top the fenders. Brewster Green out the factory,. good-nite I'm gonna try to insert a picture of Crusty.
