I am wandering if the motor and tranny are installed in a stock fashion. So what i need is good pics of your v8 trucks to see what they look like. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | a badge? like a "350" badge? more likely a model number or it was added w/ the 350, which weren't made in 59 don't have a mount pic handy, but the shop manual should tell ya - if it's mounted as original, it's got 2 wimpy lookin pegs from the front of the block to riveted on mounts on the front crossmember, and the bellhouse has ears that mount on the cross member there - the tranny hangs off the bellhouse - more likely w/ the 350, they put a cross member under the engine at the point where the side mounts are, which is a standard aftermarket conversion here's some good pics of my V8 truck  Bill | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 120 Member | | Member Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 120 | I guess only gmc came with a v8 badge on the side next to the gmc logo. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 120 Member | | Member Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 120 | are v8 trucks in 58 and 59 open or closed driveshaft | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | Chevys had a small V on the door, and a large V on the hood ornament, no 8 invloved like this 57 - correct hood trim on my 58 here , I skipped the door ones - I think GMCs had a V right under the GMC on the fender, not sure on the "8" - real trucks are all open drive [after 55] Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 59 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 59 | my grandpa has a stock 59 gmc i can get pic this weekend
