Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
This is something you don't see everyday. This pair of emblems were on the front fenders of an original daily driver 1967 3/4 ton GMC. Has anyone ever seen this style V6 emblem on pickups?

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
My truck just has the 'Camper Cruiser' emblems. I think that '351 Magnum' emblem is off a larger truck, but I can't say I have ever seen one. I would love to have a part number for those!

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
Never seen these before. Ditto on seeing the entire front of the truck.

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
Bob B's truck has some kind emblem on the front fender that looks like the Camper Cruiser but it doesn't have the 351 V6 Magnum emblem. His truck is a factory 351 truck. If I had to guess, I'd say that emblem came off a bigger series truck. The 351 Magnum never came in a pickup, although the 351E is essentially a 351 Magnum with different manifolds. The marker light looks to be off a '68 Camaro, so I think someone got a little creative. I do like the look it of the 351M emblem on there minus the marker the light though!

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
I think I`ve seen that emblem w/o the V6 before.I had one saved on my hard drive before the big crash.It probably was a medium duty.I sure don`t recall.But,Bob knows his V6 stuff.

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
Who ever took the photo of this 67 GMC must have been at the Good Guys car show and swap meet in Pleasanton Cal. on March 29-30 because I myself saw this truck there and took photos of the emblems as well. I know someone who has a 67 Camper Cruiser also with these "V6 351 Magnum Power" emblems. These emblems were only available in 1967 on light duty pickup trucks and no they are not from a bigger truck, those had completely different "V6 Magnum' emblems closely resembling those used on 62-66 GMC trucks. The 351E V6 is and was considered a Magnum engine if you were to read any adds and factory brochures with it's introduction in 1966, it just had the "E" designation Since it was for pickup truck applications. As far as that 67 pickup at the swap meet unfortunately it is no longer powered by a true GMC Truck engine anymore, too bad I didn't see the owner of that truck I would offered him money for those emblems.

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
I think I know your truck. Is it this green KM-2500 with the transplanted 478 with chrome valve covers? If so, you gotta post some more pics here. The guys unfamiliar would love your truck as much as I do!

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
Big block V6, that's a nice truck you have - there doesn't seem to be many V6 guys here, either - it's cool to se guys preserving them.

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
No it doesn't have a 351 V6 anymore. I checked this truck out thoroughly short of opening the hood I crawled underneath it and the oil pan was way too small to be a V6, obviously the little moly orange oil pan revealed everyones (OTHER THAN ME!)favorite smallblock V8

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
Yes, BigblockV6, The yellow 67 was pictured at the swap meet. I believe the emblems are original to pickups also. It is possible certain assembly plants or dealerships installed them as a promotion, just like the plaid valve covers used on 63 V6's. The paint was original and so was the interior upholstery. The only modifications I could see were the reflectors and newer one piece wheels.There is really not much literature and information available on these low production GMC's of the 60's, not unless you were around back then and remember.

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
There`s more V6 fans out there than you think.Unfortunately many people go with SBCs out of conveniece,economy,and plain ignorance on these great motors.

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
Count me in............Got a '69 GMC 3500 with a 305 V-6 and all it took for me to be hooked was one overloaded truck and a steep grade...........Never seen another gas engine like it, pulled it down and it didn't fall on its face like a V-8, it just kept pulling..............Downshift only for fear of destroying a clutch, not because of no torque
![]() I'd love to have a 351 in a 3/4 ton 4x4 with a 4spd...........It would be awesome IMO. I like anything of these trucks with 6 cylinders, V type or Inline! ![]()

Re: Rare 67 GMC V6 Emblem
The V6 was a victim of the changing pickup truck market in the 60's.The engine was designed in the late 50's when a pickup was more of a slower speed workhorse for business and farming.As buyers started using pickups as personal vehicles, they demanded more car like performance. A tradeoff was made and GMC starting using the Chevy engines and eventually discontinued their own for pickups. But GMC still used the V6's up to 1974 in larger trucks.
