I've just captured another big bolt... a '48 2-ton Boom truck, from the 2nd owner.
It seems the prior to his ownership, someone swapped engines.... so now? it has what appears to be a late (full pressure) 235.
The only info on this engine is the numbers on the pad next to the distributor.
Here are the number I found... 95T2982F255N as best as I can see anyway... I had to scrape alot of dirt off the pad.... and wasn't in the best position to read ##'s..lol
Anyone have any ideas as to the indentity of the engine??
