Chevy vs gmc
 

So what are the differences if any between chevy and gmc?;) im more of a GMC fan but the only reason is because i own one

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

they say that GMCs are more heavy duty, like the frames are tougher so something like that

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

My father who sold new Chevrolet cars and trucks used to tell me that the only difference was that a GMC was a Chevy with the bolts tightened down.:)

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Just emblems and grille are different. And maybe seat fabric in some years.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

GMC=overpriced chevy lol. I think gmc has always added a few more luxury items in there givin packages than chevy.

Iv also heard of the gmc bein tougher but imho that's a myth. There identical trucks just rebadged. Up untill recintly all the sheet metal was stamped on the same assemble lines.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

I believe they are basically the same truck. Maybe Mr. Keith will chime in. He built these trucks so he would probably know.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Chev has single headlights and GMC has the double headlights

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Lol, I think you forgot which board you are posting in;)

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Pretty much the only differences were trim and options.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Yea I think the only real differences were in the trim and options as well! GMCs seemed like people wanted more for em as well lol idk though

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

gmc's are the fancy chevys. Just like a lexus being a fancy toyota

gmc u pay more for, thats really it, gmc was big on using 4 head lights for while, i wish they still did that.

gmc's hold value better. especially a 67-72

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Agree, Chevy vs GMC is like a Caprice next to a Roadmaster, a Chevy next to a Buick...same vehicle just optioned different.

Then there is always the humorous comparison to ponder:

Chevy...Can't Have Everything Vern, YaknowwhatImean?:lol:
GMC......Generically Made Chevrolet;)

Mark:chevy:

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Generically made cadillac, oops that's another over priced chevy!

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

The only difference that I have found is in badging and a few option packages. Pretty much everything you can get on a GMC you can get on a Chevrolet.

GMC just allowed Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Cadillac and Buick dealers the ability to sell pickup trucks.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

only real difference is the names of the trim levels,options,grilles and headlights on certain years and im sure there are some i missed here vut outside of that there essentially the same truck.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

The older body style gmc had the big v6.This body style just badges is it.Newer trucks gmc has more bells and whistles to them.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

For '73 -87, they were exactly the same except for emblems/trim.

They went right down the same assembly line.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

HAHA! I like that! good stuff... :metal:

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Actually, we could randomly leave bolts loose on either one...

;)

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

BTW - It probably wouldn't surprise you all to hear that we would sometimes build a truck with Chevy emblems on one side and GMC emblems on the other...

:lol:

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Call me crazy but that would be cool to get one from the factory with both badges. But it would only be cool if it was straight from the factory that way and someone didn't do it on purpose.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

I wonder how many of those made it for years with no one catching on. It's not like you can see both sides at the same time. It'd have to be a person who doesn't care about trucks though. :lol:

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Usually it would get caught in the next inspection station (or repair), but I wouldn't be surprised if a few got out.

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

that would be one rare truck if it came from the factory and cool

Re: Chevy vs gmc
 

Back in the late 70s and early 80s when Fox body Mustangs and Mercury Capri's shared the same body, they came down the same line too. My vocational school machine shop class toured the factory and actually saw it happening.
