"stepsister," lol, I'd love to have that, just to far away for me or I would.

All original, "v6 3 on the tree, runs and drives, has a good drivetrain". just what the doctor ordered.

I wonder exactly when it was that people started calling all six cylinder engines a V6...it is a cool truck though and would make for a good project vehicle. I've been watching Youtube videos from Lucky Costa (he is a co-host on Hot Rod Garage and often appears in Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines); he just put together a similar truck with a high horsepower LS engine and full QA1 suspension upgrades.

Not sure but the days of straight 6's and 8's have just about been forgotten by most of the general public, I mean look, this guy even owns it, and says "All original", lol.

Agreed, very cool, I'll have to watch the vid you mentioned, thanks.

It’s people who don’t know much about cars. I’ve heard people talk about their “v4” cars for years. I don’t bother correcting them - they just don’t care.

Ya know I read right past that- I think I was thinking the GMCs from that era did have a V6, didn't they? Not really paying attention that his was a Chevy and would have a straight 6.
