new motor

[choll]

This motor is in a 1968 duce would you say it is new.

New paint, how many miles on the odometer? Usually they replace those when the motor is changed.

My truck had 37 miles on the clock, and looked the same as yours. It might be new! Cross your fingers.

That looks like a GL photo....Even a brand new engine could have been run with no oil and got locked up. It's best to inspect. IIRC, the tach should have been replaced with a new engine. It has the hour meter.

Just over 30,000. I never saw the blue hoses before

Spec plate on side should have date of manufacture or rebuild. Get out you bifocals.

Renovate is right. My truck has a tag right under the engine data plate that says when it was rebuilt and what they turned the rods and mains to. I guess it could be a new engine though but it would have had to have been in storage for some time because they haven't made any new engines for several years ( your data plate should tell you when the engine was made).

i inspected that truck myself and it has a rebuild tag on the motor of 1992...it also had a newer transmission as well... very nice truck really... could use some paint and the usual, only reason why i didn't keep bidding on that truck is because the one i got with winch, heater, cross bows all in tact, and cargo cover...went for not much more... did anyone win this truck? if so I have additional pictures i believe and also more info on it, if wanted...
