Durwood,
I believe the 305 was a later v-6.
There is a copy of a 1949 GMC advertisement showing the different
engines toward the bottom of this web page:

I think GMC may have added a 302 later that is the same design as the
270. I don't know about the 318, but I do know the 426/503 won't fit
into a pickup without extreme modifications (like putting a doghouse in
the cab)
