I found this in the owners manual. The plate down by the drivers side kick panel has been painted. So it came with a 283? and a three speed?. The axle code is he1228w

Yes mine is a 1/2 ton. If it came out with a 283 I have one sitting beside it on an engine stand that I am going to put back in it. I just thought it came out with a 6 and was going to put in a 350
