On the web site to which I linked in an earlier post, there are some interesting pictures to see. One of them shows some of the literature about kits to "repower" non-GMC vehicles.

I remember Dad telling me a story about how, back in the day, someone at their wholesale beverage business had been talked into buying a new Ford delivery truck - against the recommendation of the indy mechanic who usually took care of their vehicles.

The Ford engine turned out to be a disaster. After much misery, the indy mechanic suggested that GMC made a good V6 truck engine, and that a kit was available to put one into the troublesome Ford - which is exactly what they had him do, with good results.

According to Dad, it used to take some of the gas station guys by surprise.
