I have heard 235 or maybe 260something. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | Your best bet is to get the numbers off the pad on the engine block that is next to the distributor. Your truck could either have a 216 or 235. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
In 1950, it would have been a 216 or, more likely, a 235 (if you still have the original engine).
Find and post here the Engine Serial Number that is pressed into the block just to the rear of where the distributor goes into the block.
