1972 C10 engine and transmission questions
I'm looking at a 72 C10, with V8, what was offered? 307? where do I find what it came with? and it is 3OTT with a horrible clutch. Is it possible they installed the wrong pressure plate or something it's really stiff, makes my old 3OTT feel like melted butter. Thanks

Re: 1972 C10 engine and transmission questions
The spid will tell you what engine the truck originally came with. There were 3 V8's available for your 72 C10. a 307, 350 and 402. If the 3rd digit in your serial number is an E and you have a V8 and there is no engine spelled out on the Spid then you'd have a307. If you have a 350 or 402 it will be printed out on the spid.

Re: 1972 C10 engine and transmission questions
Thanks, I'm used to dealing with f-bodies. Blows my mind that upgrade engine/transmission info is printed on a paper sticker that can get easily destroyed. Guess these were disposable trucks though. My 70 has crayon markings all over it..... I did not think to check the SPID as mine has no engine info on it, so what you are saying makes sense as mine is a base model.
