O'Reilly's has the Delco U305 in the same group as the Master Pro 2-4211 (my post). It was listed as not available. The rotor used with this cap is Delco U403, also listed as not available.
This is the rotor in that group that is available.

And Delco U110 was in this group (not available) but this is:

I was checking my old Motor's manual to see what distributor number was called out for this truck. Seems the number for a distributor for a 1960 305A is 1110248. further checking showed that the number in question doesn't appear anywhere, but my list only goes to 1964. So no telling when this number appeared.

After I did some more checking by Goggling that distributor number, it comes up as one for industrial and tractor applications, that may be part of the problem of why there is so much difficulty in finding parts that fit.

I was thinking that going by distributor number is IFY. My 1960 305A stock motor and my stock 305E have the same, larger diameter cap with twist lock. So many times PO's may change something, the best thing is to go where you can touch and feel and compare. As you say, old numbers are hard cross ref at auto parts stores. These parts I found are for 67 Chevy K15. Pirate came up with the same part number that I did using a different search technique. I think it's a done deal. I got my clue from the outside GMC Guru info I posted.

This one is an EXACT match.

Good work Ken.

In case the website link goes away in the future, the cap details are:

MasterPro Ignition - Distributor Cap
Part # 2-4211

Thanks bud!

It's alive!

That noise you here in the background is someone in the shop hammering on something, not my engine.

A little video of it running: https://youtu.be/AA6yZaNUXaI

Thanks for all the help folks!

Actually in later years, 66-74 the small cap with no window was the most common, the window style cap on these engines in later years was non existent.
