I picked up a running 272 from a 58' 1/2 ton, & it had the 471 heads on it... Don't pass on a motor opportunity without decoding it first.

Look at John Mummert's site, or Tim Mcmaster's site for some great casting info & locations.

The 57 truck I was looking at had a more modern style holley 2 bbl and intake and not the old 94 style carb.

I heard on another site the trucks did not get the 292s untill 59 so I can forget about the 57 and kep on looking.

My Bone stock 57 truck I picked up had the 272 with the earlier 55-56 loadomatic and carb which I thought they should have at least updated that.

58 Rack Dump, 55 F350 yard truck, 57 F100

59 & 61 P 400's, 58 F100 custom cab, 69 F100, 79 F150, 82 F600 ramp truck, 90 mustang conv 7 up, 94 Mustang, Should I continue?

I did some scrounging at a local junkyard and found a 57 F350 or could be larger with a V8,I have heard the trucks 55 to 57? retained the smaller motors of previous years so would it be a 272 or 292.
