Just bought a ‘57 F100 Styleside with wrap around rear window. It’s in pretty rough shape and I am stripping it to the frame. The 272 is gone and was replaced with a straight 6. I am looking for a 272 or will drop a 302 in it. Haven’t made up my mind yet. Any thoughts?

Welcome to FTE. That looks like a solid project vehicle. The "Older, Classic and Antique Trucks" section will be your friend.

Don't forget to check out the Virginia state chapter too.
