The first was in '62 and the GMC 6500 model only, on conventional cabs anyway.
This was a discussion we had for many years, many years ago. Some said "no truck" got them till '63 and I was a stubborn hold-out saying this was incorrect since I had one, lol. Some said I had the year wrong, it can't be, etc. But at one point, it was proven to be true, by brochures produced as well as other owners and mechanics having and working on them, but the 6500 model only as mentioned, starting in '62.
That said, I also mentioned the question of the '62 C-80 Chevy. It's still not proven either way, as far as I have heard anyway, if all or just some had them. They could have been an "option" to have them either way, where with the GMC the only way to get a 6500 was with one. If anyone out there has more info on the Chevy, please post.
