What V8 options came in a 1966 C10?

Guys, I just got a new truck and I'm trying to figure if it's a 283, 307, or anything else...

If it is original it is either a 283 or 327 as padresag noted. If there is a possibility it is not original and is a small block it could be anything from a 265 to a 400. The best way to tell is with the casting numbers on the drivers side rear of the block and also the code stamped on the passenger side of the block just in front of the head.

ours, we thought was the original 283, but it ended up being a 283 intake sitting on top of a 400sbc, which we are currently rebuilding and tossing back in the truck. Hopefully next weekend. lol
