Me too! It's not 1975 when a GM dealership could actually help you, today we are on are own. In that case the newer the better, look for a turn key great running low mileage vehicle which won't require rebuilding, just require normal maintenance. I prefer a heavier heavy duty model with air brakes and standard pattern 10 lug wheels.The 366-427 engines were mainstays in heavier trucks and the first 366 appeared under the hood of '66 Chevys.
