LOL, I was thinking about your post...maybe most folks, after having driven a 6 cyl for a while, automatically drop in a big block???

Re: How to tell if original 1968 C10 bigblock 396 truck?

I’m thinking it makes no sense to have different frames for different engines except maybe on a first year offering. Once they know they need the frame clearance, make all frames with the clearance regardless of the engine used.

This is just my opinion only. I have no evidence of anything to prove either way.
