My way of understanding it was that in the earlier years of '60 to '66, Chevys got Straight 6's and GMCs got V-6's. When the new style was introduced GM probably figured that the limited Chevy 292 was not as good as a choice as the more powerful, larger cubed 351, 401 and 478 V-6. This way the customer still got a "6", but a more suited one. Plus they all are basically the same truck, built by the same company. I liked it better that you could get, or more get something that one brand had and the other didn't.
