What Chevy engines came with 2 barrel in trucks?

Many Chevrolet truck engines throughout the years came with a 2-barrel carburetor. Pinpointing *every* single one is difficult without access to a complete, detailed historical parts catalog for every model year. However, some of the most common families of engines that frequently featured 2-barrel carburetion in Chevy trucks include:

* Small-block V8s (e.g., 265, 283, 307, 327, 350): These were very common, and various displacements within the small-block family often had 2-barrel versions as base or lower-trim options.

* Inline-6s (e.g., 230, 250, 292): These six-cylinder engines were workhorses in Chevy trucks and frequently came with a 2-barrel carb.

The specific engine code (found on the engine itself) and the year of the truck are needed to definitively say whether a particular truck had a 2-barrel carburetor. A 2-barrel carb was often a standard or base configuration, while a 4-barrel was usually an option on higher trim levels or performance packages.
