Chevrolet GMC trucks 1956-1959 with factory 322 Buick V8 engines

Anyone heard about Chevrolet or GMC trucks with Buick Nailhead 322 cubic inch V8 engines in them from the factory ??????

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.

Does anyone know the story on these trucks ?

Buckeye, Those 322 Buick engines, were used in the '56 & '57 Chevrolet, Heavy Duty Line, of 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.

Buckeye, GMC, had their own lineup, of engines.
