I don't know about the Buick & Olds engines. I thought they were all Pontiac. I ran across a "F" model like mine with a V8 Pontiac. ( original truck) A friend of mine has a 58 pickup with a V8 Pontiac. His dad bought it new in 1958. ( still sitting in the woods rusting away)

What did the early 1950s GMCs have?
