Welcome to the board from Texas
First check the option sticker inside the glove box if it is still there.
Second post the VIN number here from the tag inside the driver’s door, and someone will decode it for you.
Probably had a 350 in it originally.
You can also get the numbers off of the block and heads to decode. The numbers are located on the front passenger side on a pad that sticks out to the front of the valve cover. On the back on the block above where the trans bolts on the driver’s side.

Here is a link that will help:

You can also find some code info here:

Have fun

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi. I can't help you on the numbers. I only have stuff for GMCs up to 69. It probably is a 350 if it's original though. Like Hutch said, they surest way would be the block and head IDs..

Wasn't the base engine in a CE truck the 307?

That's what I'm thinking. I'll bet it's 307, unless GMC is different than Chevy on the base engine.
