There is a 1958 GMC 100 for sale locally, and the owner says it has "the original" 235 in it. My first reaction was "that's a Chevy engine, not a GMC engine." The research I have done suggests that GMC sixes in 1958 were 248's or bigger. I also know they installed V-8's from other GM divisions, such as Pontiac. Does anyone know whether GMC factory installed chevy 235's in 1958?

only in Canada - maybe he just doesn't know engine size or maybe changed way long ago

I was under the impression that the Canadian-built GMC with Chev motors had different badging (model numbers). Seems like someone shoved a car motor in that Jimmy. :p

Canadian built GMC trucks use a different series number (9400, 9700, etc) but they are more like Chevy trucks than GMC trucks in many ways.

Read over the section on my website about ID and plate locations and then have him give you the numbers off the motor and door post.
