I didn't know that either, are you saying that there weren't any 68-72 4X4 Chevy trucks with a factory big block? is there is reason why GM didn't put a big block on a 4X4? was the big block engine in the above ad not original? There is a local seller advertising a 1972 4X4 Cheyenne with a 402 big block.
There were no big block 4x4 trucks in this body. I think the fit was tight with the transfer case being in the spot it is in. The 4x4 used the rear holes in the frame for the mounts which puts everything closer to the firewall. Hope that makes sense.
