I agree, rare, rare, rare. A visual. Another note, the V6 had a reputation as a gas hog, however after investigation, the reason is GM did not have a suitable ratio available for high torque V6 3/4 tons. 1/2 tons with a 3.07 or 3.54 did fine, 3/4 tons with a 305 or 351 with 4.56's are the real culprit. It wasn't till '68 till the 3.54 ratio became available in 3/4 tons, but too late to save the reputation. A 3.73 for 3/4 tons would helped also improve gas milage for these high torque at lower rpm engines.
