Pics of 348/409 powered trucks

[1963c-10]

Looks to be the truck 409.....thanks for the addition Jon!!!!!

And an 80 series truck is pretty rare. I see a lot of the 10-50 series, but not much after that. With the air brakes I'd guess it was a nice cluster in the dash also.

it was unfortunate that I missed buying this one, the engine went into a 64 ss convert, and a few years later I "found" the truck again literally the day before it went to the scrapper..

the dash had no tach, but did have an air gauge. I grabbed the owners manual, red seat, and the data tag off the kick panel. the ss guys left the pulleys and air cleaner so I got that too. it had an interesting trans... maybe an Allison? 5 speed- it was about the size of the motor- and it used a low hump instead of the flat floor that you usually see in those big trucks.
