1 TON TRUCKS
I see alot of these 8 lug trucks at the junkyard. What size engines came in them?
Other than knowing a big block from a small block, I would not know the cubic inch. ------------------ Working on my plain jane 69 C-10 with a healthy 283 in it for now. |

The 8 lug rin=m does not automaticly denote a one ton, the 3/4 ton also came so equipped, and more likely than not, that is what you are seein gout there.
C-10 thrugh C-30 all had the same engine options available. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it. Need to pick up the one ton Longhorn with a PONTIAC 350/350soon. Thanks every one! Check out The Longhorn Webite.

So if its a 3/4 ton, what would be the smallest engine it would have? My stock 69 came with a 305 ci, so I don't want anyting smaller than that.

DANG!!! So if I pulled an engine out of a truck, lets say 74 3/4 ton or 1 ton and up.
Would I have a better chance of finding a 350 ci or better? |

350 is the largest small block youl find originally installed in a 67-72 truck, 396/402 was the only other larger engine you'll find, unless someone put larger in later after factory
