Have gotten the motor # A228 302 731 from the engine and have determined that the size of the truck is 228cu. The motor casting GMC - 5 # 6107326 which I think makes this engine a 1952. The cab # is 253 22 S 25.. which I think means it is a one ton vehicle. Does any of this make sense? Can anyone provide any more information or correct my research errors.
