Degsy Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Old GMC trucks are usually referred to as 'Stovebolts' (the special bolts used on the engines... sort of like a bolt with a phillips head on it. I never heard of a 'Stovebolt' but one of the forums I read dedicated to old GMC trucks makes that distinction. Also, as posted previously, 'jeep' did not originate from 'GP'. GP was Fords designation for a vehicle with an 80 inch wheelbase. A 'jeep', as told by AAW Vol 1 was a character in a Popeye comic strip. The stovebolt six was the forerunner to the 270 GMC engine and the 270's design is based on it's predecessor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
