Then take your pic from all the various sellers. I did see that Chev's of the 40's is showing theirs as "Out of Stock". Even Rock Auto has a few offered and their prices look pretty reasonable. Or you could post an ad in Truck Parts Wanted in the Swap Meet. Hope this is helpful.

Any rings for an engine with a 3.5" cylinder bore should work as long as the rings are the right thickness. Make sure you measure the pistons for oversize, and get the right diameter rings to match the pistons- - - - -most 216s have been overhauled and bored at least once in the past 70 years or so. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Chevy+216+piston+ringsJerry

Not sure what he’s doing next because he’s waiting for some other parts. He seems to be very knowledgeable about things and doesn’t waste time. Also motivated to get the truck on the road again. He’s also an old tractor guy
