My pickup
Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2024 3:12 pm
Hi all, I’m new here
I haven’t tinkered with a minor for 45 years!
I have acquired a 1969 pickup which I intend to restore ( no idea which imoji to use).
It’s reasonable straight, needs some welding and the thick layers of paint removed. The door bottoms, one sill and floor pan are what I can see at the moment.
So the engine, I thought it would be a good idea to check it out before stripping everything.
The rocker cover is gold so replacement engine it has new hoses, plugs points and the oil looks like it has just been changed.
It does run but the oil pressure switch stays on.
So please what have I got?
950 stamped on the block, engine plate 8G9 R J80663
2A799 RMO 21087/2 cast on near side of the block
Is this going to be ok or should I just upgrade?
Thanks, I am at the very enthusiastic start of a restoration!
