Looking at a truck owner said it's a 307 v8 auto. Sent the spid looks like very little options . No mention of engine and I guess he didnt want me to see the vin . It's 71 c20 with 127 wb basically my question is ,how do I know it was born with a v8?

The E in the VIN with no SPID callout means 307. (E=V8 and 350 was an option, so if V8 was ordered, standard was 307, optional were 350 and 402 (in 71)).

The 4spd would be an option on your SPID. If no mention of transmission then your truck was originally a 3spd.

Please correct me if I am wrong about this. The Model number on the first line of OP's SPID says CE20934 and that number indicates that it is a 2wd V8 3/4 ton long bed fleetside.
C= 2wd
E= V8
20=3/4 ton
934= long fleetside bed.
?????????
