Almost every pre-1955 street rod (car or truck) is in the same boat...original engine is long gone...

Probably not illegal Mike to remove it but definitely illegal to replace it with an non authentic one, like the op truck has..

Tiny is right, everything we say is conjecture. Thing is anyone can battle through anything, but do you have to and need too. Like I said plenty of people have had good luck and as many hasn't. There was a person in my state a few years back that lost his law enforcement position because he placed an incorrect body tag on a 65 mustang making it a hertz rental car shelby. Granted it is an extreme case but you dont know maybe one day in the past the op's future truck was stolen from a guy like us on this forum. It is always best to play the game straight. We are a country of laws and it seems to of slipped out of this mindset these last few weeks.
