Working on 6 cyl question

[factorystock]

The early 60's truck buyer was different than the early 70's and later truck buyer.Business and Farmers were the largest market for pickups and they weren't interested in nicities. "For Economical Transportation" was the moto attached to kick plates and this was the buyers priority. The majority of early to mid 60's pickups will be found with 6 cylinders and manual transmission no power brakes, no power steering and no air. If you want all the goodies, it would be more economical to find an early 70's and later pickup.
