If you can scrap off the crud, there is a casting number on the right side of the block, towards the front. Tell us that number, we can tell you exactly what you got. | | |

If I am seeing the photo right, the engine is orange? Passenger side of the block by the dipstick should be the #. Since the engine is orange, it has either been pulled and rebuilt or changed. If you have a newer full oiler 235, no big deal, but check it out if you are going stock. I am into the older stuff so I can't tell you if 235, 261 etc were ever painted orange in the first place. I can't tell ya much about the rest of the truck. I could not get the photos to go full size on the link. | | |

Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
