To find the stock horsepower for *your* specific 1972 Chevy truck, you need to know the engine size and type (e.g., 250 inline-six, 350 small-block V8, 454 big-block V8). Once you have that information, you can consult a Chevrolet parts catalog, a repair manual for that specific year and engine, or online resources dedicated to classic Chevy trucks to find the factory horsepower rating.
