While doing a little Web cruisin' looking for answers to Richard's question,
I found this website which says in '59 GMC was testing the new 305 V-6. So,
maybe it did get released late in '59, or was in some big trucks. Anyway,
here's the link, it's a historical timeline of GMC trucks with pictures and
things happening. I make no claims as to it's truth , veracity, etc. Just
pointing out that someone else thinks '59 was the first year. Any comments?
