It looks like it has an ohv so I'm guessing its less than 40 years old, on the front left of the motor there's a hole. I'm wondering it that is for a distributor or a thermostat. The bellhousing look kinda GMish to me. Its clearly a 4 cylinder so it probably wasn't in a full size truck. Unless of coarse its a diesel. The transmission looks older that 1990. Just thinking out loud. Anyone recognize this thing?

Looks like a 60's Toyota motor.... Not sure though. My guess is an import truck. It's 2wd for sure, Looks like it's got 6 lug hubs, so that eliminates a lot of possibility's. Datsun and Isuzu use 6 lug hubs..
