Thank You, consider it done. This truck was nonopt' Sept 26,1997 in Bakersfield,Ca. Interestingly, the sequence tag has F0926A. I thought this meant 09 (Sept) 26th and was a 1957 engine. Just figured out today from the block casting number 3769716 that it is probably a 1960 truck engine with the F0926A. I still don't know what the 0926 is for. I'm going to look for the casting date tomorrow. Started it up on Sat and it started squeeling, then dripping water. Now the radiator is dry. Radiator not leaking, hoses not leaking, yep, it's the pump, just knew that was going to happen. The water pump sets REALLY LOW, lower half of the radiator. I don't think the person who put this engine in did the conversion for the '54 truck. We want to do it right so that is my next research. After that, I need to figure out where the 3 on the floor with overdrive came from, year, etc.
