I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed so I need some help figuring out what engine and rear end I have. I purchased a 1953 1/2 ton a few years ago and i'm just getting around to working on it. My problem is trying to ID the engine and the rear end.
The head on the engine is from a 1956-62 235. I've lookied for engine casting numbers in all the right places and can't find one. I've read all the posts and links for engine ID. The rocker cover is a four bolt and the side cover is a ten bolt. The water pump sits half above and half below the head gasket. I was told that its an early 52-53 block. The only numbers on the block are above the starter, CCN1 and K123. My other problem is trying to figure out the rear end. I'm sure its been swapped but don't know what I have. The casting numbers on the case are F102, D1301 and D01. Any advise out there in garage land?
