Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | I have a 1961 Chevy Half Ton, I found a killer deal on a complete running donor truck that I would like to get to swap into my truck. Here are the details on the truck.
Model year: 1983
Drive: 2WD
Engine: 454 V8
Series: 1 ton (30/35)
Body: Four-door cab
Plant: St Louis
Serial #: 527200
Has anyone made a similar swap into their truck? Will the BB fit into my truck without major modification? How much harder than a small block swap would this be?
Thanks,
Kyle

These are problems if you try to use after market parts, since few are available. Call Chevy Truck Parts in Denver: owner Rich Sisneros 719-250-5057 and ask about original mounts and manifolds. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | Tim,
