Default Re: V6 in a 1970-72 Jimmy?

Just to clarify -- you couldn't "order" a 70-72 GMC with a V6 from the factory. You ordered one with a V8 and the dealer would perform an engine swap, removing the V8 and installing the V6 in its place. That's what made the price so high. For that reason, I doubt many buyers had that swap done to brand new trucks. More likely after their V8 wore out.
