KM series trucks are far and few between... I agree, it'd be unstopable.

Re: odd old truck
Looks like a good restoration/fixer-upper. THat thing would be a beast off-road with SWB and the V6. They aren't rocket ships, but put a 500 Holley 2bbl on a good running GMC V6, and you'll be surprised how well they snap around. You won't win any speed races though.
 Good find.

Re: odd old truck
V6's were available std up to '67 and could be dealer installed up to '69 IIRC. That is a cool old truck though!

Re: odd old truck
That`s a great project.I don`t think it`s so rough.It needs no more than what most need.Just looks worse,smashed grille vs dinged or dented,still needs replaced.What kind of paint did they use,water color?It`s almost all gone back to original paint.If you were closer,I`d snatch that up.

Re: odd old truck
Nice project......I believe that they were kind of like the the 4.3s of their day a big potent engine with two cylinders cut off.If I am not mistaken they were based off of the 348-409 w series engines.

Re: odd old truck
GMC V6 engine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search GMC produced a unique 60° V6 V6 engine from 1960 through 1978. The engine was available in 305, 351, 401 and 478 in³ (5.0, 5.8, 6.6, and 7.8 L) version. In late production there was also a 432 in³ (7.1 L) version with enlarged crankshaft journals. GM also made a 637 in³ (10.4 L) 60° V8 with twin balance shafts using the same general layout as the 305. Finally, there was a 702 in³ (11.5 L) "Twin Six" V12, which was basically two 351s placed end-to-end and was used in full-sized commercial trucks. A Diesel version was sold for marine applications as the ToroFlow. Contents [hide] * 1 305 * 2 351 * 3 401 * 4 432 * 5 478 * 6 702 * 7 See also [edit] 305 The 305 in³ (5.0 L) 305 had a 4.25 in (107.9 mm) bore. The 305 V6 was the standard pickup truck engine for GMC from 1960 to 1966, and was one of the first V6 engines produced by an American company. [edit] 351 The 351 in³ (5.8 L) 351 was an enlarged 305. In 1972, the 351 was replaced by a 379. [edit] 401 The engine was further enlarged for the 401 in³ (6.6 L) 401. this engine was used in the 67 model [edit] 432 In late production there was also a 432 in³ (7.1 L) version with enlarged crankshaft journals. [edit] 478 The 477.7 in³ (7.8 L) 478 was one of the largest V6 engines ever built. Gross output was 235 hp (175 kW) at 3200 rpm and 440 ft.lbf (597 Nm) at 1400 rpm. Bore was 5.125 in (130.2 mm) and stroke was 3.86 in (98 mm). It was introduced in 1963 in the 6500 series trucks. It was superseded by the 1966 478M "Magnum" series, and production ended by 1974. Gross output was now 254 hp (189 kW) at 3700 rpm and 442 ft.lbf (599 Nm) at 1400 rpm. [edit] 702 The massive 702 in³ (11.5 L) V12 "Twin Six" was offered in United States GMC commercial trucks, and as a special order option in Canada. It was simply a pair of 351 in³ (5.8 L) V6 engines mated together. It used two separate exhaust manifolds, two separate distributors, and other parts from the 351.

Re: odd old truck
You could get a CM or KM GMC truck (M stands for v-6) though 69 or 70, and possably special ordered after that.
I used to own a 69 GMC that was a CM truck. |

Re: odd old truck
When it's restoration time I have a fAn shroud for the NARROW radiatior. Looks just like the BB shroud but is a couple of inches narrower.
Also a 67/68 core support and the 67/68 valance pan.. Good find - Bob
