I hope you are right. I've been studying the engine (by using the photos & videos) & to me it is hard to tell but it does look just like the 216, in the video. He says the engine has been replaced & that it has a 216. I could hope it is that 261 or the 235 as stated in the 'pdf' (that I linked below) but I think this guy know best. :) I will be getting it to me in Rockport TX soon (I hope). I'm in touch with a auto transport now. I hope it's not in the rain while it's waiting for me. I hope to fix it up over time & use it some when it's not raining :) . So far I believe it is a: 6409s (1.5 ton) or maybe the 6409 (i.e. the 2 ton). I would think it is that 4409 but the 4409 does not have the 2 speed axle where as the 6409(s) does. I'm looking forward to seeing the numbers on the engine & truck itself soon. Here is a link to the info, Engine is on page 86 (not of 86 on the PDF but rather on the bottom of the page) www.gm.com/content/dam/company/no_search/heritage-archive-docs/vehicle-information-kits/chevrolet-trucks/1948-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf 2024-09-20 John from Rockport TX
I see TH-cam deleted my comment because I put a link to my video on bitchute (my moniker is the same there as here) , what a chicken thing to do I worked kind of hard on it explaining what I found out about the size of the motor & such. 235.5 1948 motor.
This was a grain truck used on the farm.
Brake master cylinder is under the left hand driver side with a square cover over it.
It should be a 261 6 Stove bolt. Just like the 216, but longer stroke.
I hope you are right.
