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.

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.

305 was V6 in 67-72 GMC trucks

250 was smallest in chevy trucks, 230 engine in gmc largest was 402 in 71 72

this is for all trucks, standard equipment in the 67-72 six cyl trucks was 250
optional in six cyl trucks was the 292 engine

standard in 68-72 v8 chevy trucks were the 307 and standard in 67 v8 trucks was the 283

optional was 327, 350, 396/402(400), these four were never standard, they had to be ordered to be installed

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
