Victor,
Maybe you should just unload your truck onto me. That saves you a lot of work and keeps your driveway clear. Sorry....I was just dreamin
Where in Nor Cal are you anyway? How did you find the truck ?
I'm sure you'll get a lot of replys to this post but I'll say that odds are if the engine looks old and stock it probably is a 216. Most people such as myself upgrade their engines to a mid 60's 235. The previous owner of my truck had already switched from column shift to floor shift, which is not that difficult to do. I'm actually emailing with a guy in Oregon who wants to change his truck from floor shift to column shift....go figure.
The next big question is, do you touch the driveline and rearend. Many (such as myself) still have the original torque tube (enclosed) driveline with the original 4:11 gears in the rear, while some keep their enclosed drivelines and change just the gears in the back to 3:55 (I'm pondering this myself).
You'll soon learn of such suppliers as: Filling Station, ChevyDuty, Patricks, BowTie, American Classic, etc, etc. All are easily findable on the net.
One of the best things you can do is do a search here on Stovebolt for any truck subject you might have. There's a vast amount of knowleged bottled up.
Look and you will find :p
