Re: Regional differences

Here it seem most of the trucks were 250/3spds. Every 1/2 ton we bought had them in, and they were ALL plain jane pickups.............Used on the farm, and heck we bought them and they were STILL used on the farm.

I did buy a C-20 locally with a 350, even though it was a Cheyenne, it was still a plain jane truck IMO. They didn't even opt for the 4spd even though it was a contractors truck, 3 on the tree.

Had to go to Utah to get a K-20 with a big block................

The strange part is every truck I bought with something other than an Inliner under the hood I tore the engine out to put an inline back in it because I really like them. The K-20 is getting retro-fitted at the moment. C-20 got the Cummins.

I wish the V-6's around here would be easier to find in pickups, but GMC's weren't a big seller here. I really like them as well.

One thing I do like, finding an auto equiped truck from the factory is nearly impossible.................Which is ok with me, rather shift my own gears.
