looking for a little advice to get started

[willys]

Hi fellow knuckle busters,

I just purchased my first Chevy recently.
(The truck of my dreams...)

69 Chevrolet c10, 2wd, 4 speed, straight 6

I was hoping to pick your brains for a little knowledge. I'm probably not going to be able to restore this truck to its former glory but I would like to make it a dependable. Especially since its my daily driver

First question: how can you tell what motor it has in it?
apart from counting the cylenders and the fact that they are lined up, I really have no idea what engine I'm working with.

Second question: could anyone recommend a good rebuild manual.

Thanks for you time and consideration
