'67-'69 GMC 4X4 Pickups
There was a question regarding '69 GMC pickups with V-6 engines the other day and in looking for an answer I stumbled across something interesting about '67-'69 GMC 4X4 pickups. According to all sales brochures I looked at and the '67 and '68 Data Books, it appears that neither the 250 or 292 was available in a 4X4 1500 or 2500 pickup. All 4X4 pickup models during these years were either KE (V-8) or KM (V-6). No KS models is listed at all, except for panels and Suburbans which were available with the 250 or the 292 (but no V-6). Now I am trying to remember if I have ever seen a '67 to '69 GMC 4X4 pickup with a straight 6 and I can't remember ever seeing one. Chevy's yes. Maybe it's true? I am sure there were Oshawa-build Canadian KS pickups built, but has anyone ever seen a domestic built example?
