I had a few minutes to stop by the trucks this afternoon. I have a casting number for you, but it didn't come from either of the places you mentioned. Both those places were too covered by a thick layer of goo and I didn't have time to scrap it off. I'm planning to work on the trucks tomorrow...

Excellent post and followups. Thanks to all. [thumbzup] Just added "check e-brakes" to the lists for all the trucks. Jack

Buy one of the one's I'm working on and I'll take the picture for you! :-D

Here I am! My better side!:-D

Interesting. I found two Holley carbs in the shop the other day along with some other parts. I thought they were for the M220's I'm working on. But one of them had a tag on it that said "Rebuilt for REO". I'll have to take another look at it.

Excellent reply, that's what I needed. [thumbzup] Thanks, Jack

Wow, excellent! Copied into word doc and it's going in the truck log.[thumbzup] Thanks, Jack

TM(s) and fuel filters? I just looked at the list of "TM's for the Deuce". There's a lot there, great to have that available. Which one(s) contain info on changing filters and bleeding the fuel system? Also, are fuel filters a standard item that I could buy locally from a well stocked parts...

I will seek what you request next week, reply to you then and await your wisdom, Magnificent One.:-D

Ha! Sounds like they used whatever was left on the shelf! Oh well, it ran good! There's no date on the Boyce VIN tag riveted to the firewall, so I don't know when the conversion was done. But a '74 ignition makes it look like it was after that, unless that was added later. I will get to...

Are you saying that the number stamped in will be the engine size? 283, 327, 350, etc? Will I see one of those numbers, or a code that leads us to the engine size? Jack

Understand! My wife just said to me the other day, "Do you know you asked me that question 5 minutes ago?". (I didn't know). :-? Scary! Thanks for your reply! Jack

I know that Ford had a 289, one of my favorite old engines. Did GM have one too?

Hate mice, da#$ old car/truck wreckers! We don't worry too much about rust out here, but the mice can do some serious damage. Love snakes!

Name that engine! How about it small block fans. Can anyone identify the engine in Boyce 1? Look at the pictures, watch the video and tell us what you think. I'll check answers next week when I get back to working on the trucks. :popcorn:

Excellent, thanks for the tip. I've been doing some homework on bleeding the system and it looks like it's a bit more complicated than just cracking open a few lines. I can see I've got some more learning to do. The CD sounds like a good resource. I won't be able to get back on the trucks...

Hendersond noticed the ramshorn exhaust manifolds and identified it as an early small block Chevy. That's all I have so far. I don't know enough about those small blocks to do more than just make a guess. My first guess would be 350, maybe 327.

Thanks Plowboy, it was pretty cool. I've got to take some time off from working on the trucks. I'll get back on them next week.

It's great to hear all of these success stories. I'm looking forward to getting it started where it sits after checking fluids, filters, etc. It will probably be a week or so before I can get to it, but I'll be sure to post updates. Jack

Paint is white. The other trucks I'm working on (M220 and Boyce Reman threads in Early Deuce) came from Boyce Equip in Utah. Haven't determined yet where this one came from, but Boyce is a good guess. Seems that a lot of trucks came into this area from them.
