    The engine I took out of my 1966 c-20 3/4 ton parts truck ,this on was really dirty with every thing stock that it was like frozen in time after I took it out took off the oil pan then I looked on each pistions in all 8 of the cylinders,none of them have been marked they do mark them when they rebuild a motor to know what cylinder that pistion came out of.Just wanted to share this with everyone, I will be overhauling this block in the near future to put in my 1966 c-10 shortbed fleetside after I get my Son Matthews 1966c-10 chevy truck on the road we are working on his truck right now.
