I don't know the answer, but I'm betting its not something you'd expect to
find in a GMC pickup or small truck. Since it has a distributor I presume
its not a diesel, so I'm thinking its not GM.  I'm eager to see the
pictures.

I once bought a 50 GMC that had a flathead six under the hood.  It was a
Dodge....

im gonna get some pics up but before i get to it-i gotta know-what motor
would be in a 54/5 GMC firetruck? the motor is backwards-the intake/exhaust
are on the pass side and dist/starter/plugs are on drivers side. has holley
carb and a HUGE! intake/exhaust. its a big motor-could it be a 302? or is it
like an IH or other motor? help! theres one at the local scrap metal uyard
and im just waiting for it to die. its TOTALLY complete minus a door handle
and maybe a foot switch. it has wipers over the windshield and the
hood/front fenders are diff but the grill is like the pre-49 GMC grill-fat
sides, reg middle.

im looking for a 47-57 GMC/chevy suburban either hot rod or project-just
needs mostly complete body-no cancer and doent even have to have frame.
