The PO told me the owner before him got the engine out of a '69 Firebird. Fits in the bay and looks like it grew there. Don't have a clue how many miles on it, so I mostly Granny drive it. Have not heard of, or seen another truck with a Poncho in it? Truck was built in Los Angeles and had a 265 V/8 from the factory. EDIT: Bigwin 59 posted his truck back about 2015, and he has a 389 Pontiac in it. :<)
Bad Ass!! I actually follwed a guy home who drove through my neighborhood in a yellow 55 GMC TF. He was new to the area, and when he popped the hood I saw a green Pontiac beast in there with tri-power! Then the garage opens and there sits a classic Firebird.

But I need not go any further than my own garage for a Poncho... my 59 GMC Fleetside came with a 336 straight from the factory (=
