I will have a lot of questions in the future (some of them probably pretty stupid) so any information will be greatly appreciated. Now for the first question: I have 2 1960 Chevy trucks (c10s) one is pretty much complete but the other one has no engine. I want to restore these trucks to their original state. So for my first question - How can I tell what enging was originally in my truck that currently does not have an engine??? Thanks for all the help. Paul penningp5@aol.com | | |

Welcome to the Stovebolt and please keep the questions coming,there is plenty of knowledge and help on this forum.

I did not see any engine mounts on the sides of the frame. at this point I am leaning towad a 235 as the original engine - if any one has any other information please let me know.
thanks,
