    953C pump drive gearbox debris

    Late 60's Baker-York forklift engine ID

    Hello Folks, working on an elderly forklift here and need to do a set of thermostats on this GMC V6. does any one have any idea what model this is? or what part number is needed for the thermostats? i was not able to find a engine ID plate but maybe they put it somewhere other than usual places?
