My guees would be a 205 if the truck has part time 4X4. If it's a full time truck then it would have a 203 and I'm not sure if the 203 even came behind a 390.

I agree because when the 203 came out the 390 had been replaced by the 400 smog motor.

Actually the 203 came out around 74 or so.
Someone a couple post down has a 76 w/390 and 203.
If it has a 6" alluminum tail housing or a 4" range box, then it is a 203.
Also if the shift lever is
Lo Loc
Lo
N
Hi
Hi Loc then it's a 203.

205 shift patern:
4 Lo

2 Hi

It may have a 390 in it now but it did not come with it.

What do you mean it didn't come with a 390? Or do you mean the 203?

I stand corrected. I got my years confused, 76 was the last year of 390 in trucks.

Most 79s came with 351M or 400s, but it might of had a 300 I6 and they had a 390 on hand and just swapped it in.
Could be a number of things, but that one sounds good to me.

SnoMan, I can assure you I didn't mean anything bad about it.
I was just saying I get confused too, and I understand what happened.
Then I was just stating a little fact about the 351M400s.
jmono, wow, that just wasn't smart(cutting the frame). Hope it isn't a big section cut out.
