This truck came with a 270 engine. In the '50s 270s were hopped up and supercharged and were blowing the doors off V8 ***** on the dry lake beds.

It is a 450, the last 4 in 454 means a 179" Wheelbase.

I have a '53 633-50 where the 50 means a 503 engine and the last 3 is the wheelbase and 630 is the model. GMC kept changing their model designations so much that you need a program to keep up.

Earlier models such as AF353 were cabovers. the F meaning cabover?

On yours the F means '47-'50 years, go figure?

Have fun.
