I somehow got to see the picture of the truck. A link showed up at the bottom of my screen. Looks like it is a '60 or '61. Engine is probably a 351 V-6. But you can verify that by the numbers near the water pump. Not sure if any production numbers are out there. You can check Jolly's GMC site for some detailed info on these trucks:
