Buy it, that is a rare find, custom cab too! Hard to find one that is running condition complete. Looks great just the way it is. Most are beat up and used up having had a tough working life. We are talking about the GMC V6 gas engines that were converted to diesel, the 351 and 478, not 2 cylce Detroit V6's. The engines were fine when installed in a truck with less that 26,00 GVW, but when installed in heavier trucks, they had durability problems. I personally think it should have been offered in a pickup, but the market was just not there in the mid 60's.
