Did you ever find out what year it is?
If you want to change the motor out, IH made some big ones that are going pretty cheap right now.
Between the high price of gas and the high price of grain, people don't want old gasser grain trucks. A 345 or 392 would perk that thing up, and as I recall fit in there pretty well.
A word of warning though, the simplicity of this thing will spoil you compared to your BII's
The step side is a '64 & the white one is a '70. The '64 has the 4 banger, it is the one I will be rollin'! I wouldn't mind throwing a big ole V8 with a manual trans. in it, I'm just not financially able at the moment. As soon as I can afford to, I would like to start gathering what I need, then I can move it out of it's safe storage & get to work. I got a good look underneath yesterday, the lack of rust on the frame & body mounts is unbelievable!!!!!!
I still haven't decided which direction I want to go with it yet, but I am totally stoked to get 'er on the road again!!!! Simplicity is my middle name....
