Big Blocks In 67 - 72 C10/C20?
Were big blocks available in 67 - 72 Chevy C10 or C20 trucks? My 67 Suburban sales brochure shows no big blocks available for 67, but I have a sales brochure for 72 Chevy trucks that shows a "400" engine available that shows it has 402 C.I.

Yes they were.....not sure all years but don't see why it. Friend bought 71/72 3/4 ton factory 402/th400, 60 rear posi a/c and it rotted out for being a New York truck.

My Longhorn had a 402 BBC, my buddy had a 69 3/4 with a 396. Not sure about 'burbs.

Yes. Not Terribly uncommon. Only in Two wheel drive. '67 is a bit of a one off - perhaps in 67 you couldn't? These were 396s at first and then they overbored it to 402 I think?

For whatever reason all Big Block trucks were badged as a "400" regardless if they had a 396 or a 402 in them.

I love going to car shows and hearing guys argue over whether their engine is a 396, 400 or 402. |
Re: Big Blocks In 67 - 72 C10/C20?
The big block was available starting in '68. In '68-'69 it would have been a 396 and '70-'72 would be a 402.

Here's a scan from a '72 sales brochure showing the engine options. Even though this is a GM Canada brochure, can I assume the selection was the same as in the US? |

They came out in 1970, ended in 1980. IMO, best small block out there. They were available in cars and trucks. Cars I think went to the mid 70s if not earlier, but trucks up to '80. I should have bought it, 1980 1 ton Chevy 400, 4-speed, 205, 60 front, 14ff rear and 4.56s. It was like 20+years ago, bought thinking it was $500, needed some work...never saw it again.... |

Why were they not available in trucks when cars could get a 400 or even a 402?
