The farming area I grew up in was a very high production area for livestock, hogs outnumbered people by several times, cattle did too. Every small town had a couple feed mills to grind & mix livestock feed plus a couple livestock trucking companies. Dad drove for several of them at different times. Gasoline powered semi-tractors were the preferred prime mover for all these companies. It wasn't until the very late 1960's that one or two company owners were brave enough to buy a diesel.

There were several companies that ran Ford Super-Duty gas engines exclusively, one happening to be owned by the owner of the local Ford dealer. Lots and lots of IH Red Diamond 450-6's, and everybody had a BIG V-6 GMC. Some companies had several. So I was exposed to BIG V-6 power at an early age riding shotgun with Dad. The guy Dad drove for the most even had a TORO-FLOW V-8 diesel in a Chevy C-70 short nose conventional.

I wasn't very old when I started driving, feed trucks, dump trucks, grain trucks. About '75 I started hauling ready mix concrete in a '74 Diamond REO with 555 V-8 Cummins & Allison ,5-speed.

Too bad you weren't a member of the forum a couple of years ago, Tom. I took a 305 and two 351s to the scrapper because I didn't have room to keep them all. That's where most of those heads and manifolds came from that you saw on my shelves.

Yeah, Heck....2 years ago I was deep into rebuilding my 66's 292! haha Didn't even know what a V6 looked like; heard of it...but never had much interest until I saw mine for the first time. Oh well, Hoping a 379 or 401 will pop up in Oregon one day. Plan would be to swap out the 305 for one of those and then put the 305 in a 1000. I've been doing some heavy hauling with my GMC and I'm REALLY feeling the need for a gear splitter or some more cubic inches. But that V6 does a darn fine job for it's size I will say.
