Also, I my original 67 GMC light truck brochure showed up yesterday. Looks like no V8's were available in any 67 gmcs! Only straight and V6's in 2x4's and the 4x4's could only be had with the 305 V6!! This must be a 305 if original. The torque and power numbers exceed both the straight six's by a fair amount so they figured a v8 wasn't necessary.
Yea another late night surfin after work...

Your welcome! I found the link then remembered this thread so i re-looked it up and posted. My first vehicle ever was a 3 on the tree 1960 GMC with a 305, plenty of power and mass torque, personally i love the engine and would love to have another 60's vintage truck with that engine.
