I tried looking up wiki, but couldn't find the information you needed. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,969 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,969 |

This excludes certain models (mostly 1.5 and larger) that used Buick engines. In '39, GMC used their own engines in lighter trucks, heavy trucks still used the Buick based 6 cylinder.
