Did gm ever put a 409 engine in there pick up trucks?

Yes, General Motors did offer the 409 engine in some of its pickup trucks during the 1960s. The 409 engine was a big-block V8 engine that was produced by GM from 1961 to 1965. It was originally available in the Chevrolet Impala, but was later offered in other models as well, including the Chevrolet C/K pickup trucks.

The 409 engine was a popular choice for performance-minded pickup truck buyers, as it offered a significant increase in power over the standard V8 engines that were available at the time. The 409 engine produced 360 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, which made it one of the most powerful engines available in a pickup truck at the time.

The 409 engine was only offered in the Chevrolet C/K pickup trucks for a few years, as it was replaced by the larger and more powerful 427 engine in 1966. However, the 409 engine remains a popular choice for classic truck enthusiasts and is often used in custom builds and restorations.
