64 was the first year the Chevrolet inline six was introduced on U.S. built GMC trucks and it was step down option called the I series with just the 230 six being available on pickup model trucks. In 66 they introduced the 250 to replace it, brochures only listed the 250 for the I series but I've seen a 66 1000 pickup with a factory installed 292 and the VIN plate confirmed it.
