Re: The Long Story - and the Short Question

First, welcome to the website...always good to have new people come aboard in the hobby.
Second, the engine(s) available in these trucks after 1963 (I think) was a new series of engine and very different than the earlier 'stovebolt' engines which, to my recollection, were actually 235 ci engines....while the 'new' series came in at least 4 sizes: 194 ci (cars only?), 230 ci, 250 ci and 292 ci.
Now google the GM 235 stovebolt engine vs. the 230 ci 1965 GM 6 cylinder engines and this will be a little clearer.
Regardless, these (newer) 230 ci engines aren't too hard to find and you might even find the 250 ci or even the 292 ci 6 cylinders while you are at it.

check it out and again...welcome!

All Good
