Clutchheadstew,

Interesting stuff. I don't know if GMC used many different vendors for motors, or just their own stuff. The vintage truck site shows a beautiful '51 640 and it notes it has a 503 engine in it. I used to drive a 10 wheel 'Cornbinder' with a huge gas V-8 in it, but my search didn't indicate IH made a 503 cubic inch motor....bigger, yes!

Someone with some knowledge will turn up I'm sure!
