And I also don't see a line item for a V8 engine.

Did all the C/20 models come with V8's? Has a one-barrel carb, guessing it's a 283.
The base engine for the CE20 was the 283 with a 2-bbl, so it wouldn't be listed on the SPID. The 327 is RPO L30. That "E" is for V8. If it were a CS20, you'd have a straight six (either the 250 or the 292).

Interesting side note: according to my Dealer Data Book, while the 283 was available with the SM420 (RPO M20), the 327 only came with the NP435CR (RPO M28). If this truck is as stock as you were told, that trans and the lack of an engine RPO code says that engine is a 283.

As for the CST (RPO Z84) package, it includes not only buddy buckets but also chrome molding inside & out, padded RH visor, cigar lighter, undercoating, extra insulation in the cab, and padded armrests.
