I'm a big fan of GMC V-6's. Drove a '62 6500 with a 478. Great, tough truck, great reliability. We also had other V-6's, 1-Tons, 3/4 Tons and 1/2 Tons in our fleet. A '62 305 did get a cracked block once. Even liked the 637 V-8 in our 9500. But in my personal truck, a '66 1000 Pick-up with a 305 V-6, I had pretty horrible luck with it. Just one of those freaky things I would say.
