Default Re: 25% of stove bolt post are wrong info.

if you guys think people are clueless about 60's GMC and the V6, you should take a ride around the internet and listen to the BS and cockeyed info being spread about the 55-59 Blue Chip trucks. WOW. For example, even magazines as prestigious as Hemmings Motor News continually do incorrect fact containing articles on them. Just about every person, and magazine writer refers to GMC's version of a Chevrolet Cameo as a "Suburban Carrier". No such name ever existed, but because everyone keeps telling each other this is the right name, it gets spread to epidemic proportions. The GMC "Cameo" truck was called a "Suburban Pickup". The "Carrier" name got stuck on the GMC because the Cameo correct full name is Cameo Carrier. My 57 Suburban Pickup has original firewall grease pencil markings that say "Sub P.U." so we know this is correct. No one ever tells the Pontiac V8 engine story right either, or dozens of other GMC vs Chevy differences separating the two lines. Its a full time job keeping everybody I talk to straight on the 55-59 stuff much less adding the 60-66 stuff on top of that hehehehe
