Re: PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

Sounds like fun. I love those old Jeep pickups, too. I used to go to Boe Jeep in Concord, MN to get parts for my '74 Cherokee (and maybe my '54 M38-A1).

EDIT: And which engine goes in the shop truck depends on who gets to drive it and who makes the engine decisions. If the workers drive it and the boss makes the decision, then it's the six for sure. ;-)
