new guy here, in wyoming. Have '55 first series, 3100, 5 window, with factory hydra matic, 235. My q. is.........I understand that the engine color is stock grey. I also know that a different engine was used with a hydra matic. My engine #'s tell me the engine is indeed the correct one for my all stock truck with the hydra magic. I don't believe the engine has ever been changed or altered. My engine is orange. Also was it a bigger H.P. engine that was used with a factory hydra matic????? I have tons of other q., and am looking forward to using this forum, if I can figure out how to navigate it. HEY, out here in Wyoming trying to get my sweet little truck on the road again. Larry

Larry, Welcome to the Stovebot. You are definitely at the right place to get answers to your questions.
However, the best way to gather info/answers is to ask questions in the most appropriate forums. Example would be to ask "paint/color" questions in the Paint and Body Forum and engine questions in the Engine Forum and so on.
To help out, the engine number is on a little "pad" beside the distributor which will help us tell you the engine and we also have a "Vin Buster" tech tip here to help you identify your truck in general.
Take a little time to explore the Tech Tips, Gallery pictures and all the other stuff here.
Until you make 4 post you are "moderated" as all new members are, to help us keep out spammers and other unwanted guest. After you make 4 post you will be able to send PM's (private messages), the swap meet and al other stuff.
Also watch for other bolters from your area. They are here.
(I have a friend from Jackson Hole)

Hi Larry, welcome. It's kind of fun trying to figure out exactly what you have. As Alvin says, take the time to explore a bit, run your numbers, ask around in the forums and hopefully you can figure it out. Good luck.
