The guy thinks it has a 327 (original ?) motor. From my reading it looks like the 283 was an option in '64 but not the 327. Anyone know for sure?
Orig. Red w/ white top, good cab except rot at bottom of drivers door jamb. Floor shift, tranny and driveline in the bed. Good hood minor dent, turn lights good. Fenders a little rough. Drivers door is the worst as it is pushed in but no cab damage there. I told him $250 if he can get a title (the guy down the road had it but can't find it now story ? ? ).
Anyway, C-10 guys , whatda say....any info. appreciated !

The Ram Horn exhaust manifolds were the same as on my 283 (but I didn't know if a 327 would have something different ?).
Thanks, Buddy | | |

Per the literature provided in the GM manuals, '66 was the first year the 327 was available in the C-10. In closing, get the truck for that price if it comes with a title. With such a small upfront investment you can justify putting some money into a decent resto for a daily driver. | | |

It's been a long time but if I remember right, if you can fit your finger inside the notch it's a 283. If not it's a 327. | | |
