Now the question is, should I go on a hunt for a 228 - the original engine in the truck. Thanks to everyone who help me find and de-code the engine block numbers.
Well... If the truck is drivable right now I would drive it around a bit and decide how important an "original" engine is compared to what you might do to the rest of the truck. You then need to decide what you want to hopefully end up with, i.e. a Trailer Queen show truck, a daily or weekend driver, etc. Answering these questions will answer the first.
From that point you might want to start saving every penny you have as these projects have a way of growing faster than kudzu vines in the southeast.
Anyway, welcome to the 'Bolt, good luck, and have fun!
