It has 58-62 Full pressuer motor. 4 Speed with a 2 Speed rear axle. the cab is in very good shape. The seat still moves dash is nice shape with no extra hole put in it. The Brake fluid in the master cyclinder is gone but it is really clean. All six tires had air them. Started taking out the card board head liner and floor matts today.

Yep it's not at all that bad. The floors in the corners need work along with lower kick panels and cab corners. I did a little digging around today and she has a 1961 235cid. The engine serial number eludes me with FI20IA. Using the letter I the serial number has me stumped. Not sure if it’s from a car or truck. An "I" would make it a September motor. the casting dates are K 21 1. I think is a November 21st 1961. Cast number 3769716 is 58-62. I'm so confused!

Well, The 235cid is going to need a bottom end. It's got a couple of rods banging around. I went out to Butler, PA and took a look at this GMC 270cid motor. To me it sounds hurt also... Take a listen tell me what yall think. Or am I just skidish.

It doesn't sound bad to me, but I guess you know that the GMC is a couple of inches longer than the Chev motor and you will have to move the radiator forward.
