Engine mount on frame. 6 cyl to V8 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can't fine ID numbers on the frame. It looks like the mount that bolts on the frame was moved forward. It is the mount that the engine mount bolts to. I believe it is covering the numbers up. Could the truck have had a 6 cyl. engine in it when new? Look at the picture. You can see another hole in the frame.

There are 3 holes in the frame from the factory.
It could have had a 6-cylinder in it at one time,... but those are correct V-8 mounts in the correct location.

Check your vin number on your title or in the door jamb or glove box and see if it starts with CS then it was originally a 6 cylinder but if it starts with CE then it was a V8. The S stands for six and the E stands for eight. Hope that helps, on my truck the frame number is located somewhat in front of the frame engine mount so I don't think its covered up, I would check carefully it might be covered with paint.

Thanks. The Vin number starts with a CE. For some reason my frame does not have numbers. And no sign of being ground off.
