If it's a 1970, then I think you're looking at a 6-232 and a Borg Warner
Automatic.  The 6-258 came in about the start of the Scout II late in the
71 model year and I'm sure the same time frame would apply to the
pickups.  It should be a real screamer in a 3/4T when you load it down
with about 4000 lbs of wood! (But then the 6 was even the "standard"
engine in the 1500 series too--hope no one bought one.)

The Borg Warner was used through 1972, with the Chrysler starting with
the 73 models.
