If it is a 350 it is not stock right? It also has a 5 speed transmission in it. What v8 engines came out in these trucks? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy 79broncoowner, everything below the eighty one series was either a 283 or a 327 as far as V8s are concerned, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | Thanks I thought 283 or 327 was the right engine. I am going to look at the truck today maybe I can get some numbers off of the engine | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | I think it is a 350 that someone put in this truck.It has a rebuilt tag on the front of the engine. This is a complete truck with no bed and it is a c 60. What would this truck be worth without an engine. IT has a 5 speed transmission and a 2 speed rearend. The body is fair. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 | In the Spokane area a non running 62 c60 with a fair body would be worth scrap value. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | 79, Why did the owner take the motor out...is the transmission bad? Around here the scrap man will deduct about $30 per tire, so factor that in on your bid. So, lets do some simple math...if the truck weighs about 5000 pounds (Cab and Chassis) per the book, less motor your at about 4500 pounds at $0.0875 per pound thats $393.75 less $180 for the six tires means it's worth about $213.75 scrap here in Maryland. Your actual weight and scrap price may vary. Hope this helps... Mike B  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | THe engine is still in the truck. What I meant was that somewere alone the line a 350 was installed in the truck. He said the engine was good but has not been run in about 3 years. I was going to buy the truck and pull the 350 then sell or scrap the rest. I hate to see it go to the scrap yard if someone could use so parts off of it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | OOPS, my bad, I misunderstood... I'm happy your trying to save what you can, they don't make some of this stuff anymore. Take care... Mike B | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | It might be hard to sell the big truck stuff but like you said they dont make a lot of it anymore. I might talk to the guy tommorow and find out some more about the truck | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | Let us know if you decide to part it out...

Probably some Clark or NP.
