307 was the base V-8 engine i believe. Power steering was also common, and disc brakes were standard on all 71 trucks. To answer your question, not rare at all. If alot of people want to buy it, send them my way. I have a few laying around.

the 307 is not rare at all. It was one of 2 base engines (the CS models had a 250 base while the CE models got the 307 starting in 68, or a 283 in 67)
Many 307s have been cast aside in favor for the prefered 350. It seems to be getting some popularity back due to its good MPG ability
