The 400 was an option in mid-'66 so it would be correct as well. And like Ed Snyder says, probably a better choice.
BTW- did anyone notice the NAPA invoice for cylinder head work? The customer was the Los Angeles Times, they had a large fleet of V-6 powered GMC tilt cabs running on propane.

So, I do need to get some clarity on the T400 thing....in Chevrolet, the T400 was NOT available even as a special order for a C10 1/2 ton, and I would expect GMC to follow suit for all 1000 series trucks. I was thinking the T400 was a 3/4 ton -up option. Can you or Pete confirm?
