I own an old Buick car along with a couple of Chevrolet trucks. On one of the Buick forums that I visit, a member posted a question about his 322 engine being identified as being used in a Chevrolet truck. Out of curiosity I checked Kanters website for engine kits. Click on the following link, then scroll down to GMC, then scroll to 322 - it cross references to the Buick 53-56 - click there and it takes you to the Buick engine and Chevrolet truck 56-59. web page CLICK HERE AND SCROLL TO GMC 322 Does anyone know the story on these trucks ?

Series 9000 (LCF's), & 10000 (Conventionals). The '58's, & '59's, used the Chevrolet Big Block 348. Mike Boteler, knows more about these trucks than anyone I know. He visits this forum often, & he'll correct me if I'm wrong, & can tell you more about them. | | |

Thanks for the reply.
I find the information interesting, since I had never heard of that configuration before.
