This was the Standard Engine in all GMC Pickups built from 1960-1966, so its niether Rare or Optional.
Exactly... this isn't a restored truck, this appears to be a truck someone did a quick rebuild on with the intent of selling it for the big money... it is the vehicle version of a "flip"... as evidenced by the vehicles in the background. The seller sells "restored" classic cars at as high of price as he can get.

Which begs the question... how much of this is actually a cosmetic rebuilt (a clean and repaint) instead of an actual frame up rebuild. I didn't see any pictures of the frame from underneath...

And apparently you are not supposed to drive it since there is no place to put the license plate...
