Some 6 months prior to that just about every medium duty( at least 25-30 trucks) all 7500 series trucks were V6 equipped, my impression then was the V6 was alive and well and they had no problem selling them off. Funny thing was in November there was still quite a few V8 74 medium duty trucks left over with the mix of 75 models. |
Would have been nice if they kept the V6. But the problem is every darn person has to have that stinkin 350. And because of them, guys like us who want to keep the v6 almost can't because parts are getting more and more scarce by the day. It makes me upset when I see people on forums that have a really NICE gmc with a good running V6....and what's the First thing they say..."I'm gonna swap it for a 350 and th350" Its like Really? REALLY? You couldn't have bought a Chevy and gone cheap on that? I don't know, its just sad to see perfectly good engines go to the scrap yard cause people don't think they are worth anything.
