Re: Chevy vs GMC frame?

I know 110 is the wheelbase but not sure about anything else.

In regards to factory documentation I have an original Canadian 1965 GMC brochure coming and there is information on the truck having the trailing arm suspension. I can post scans when I get it.

What's also interesting is that my 250 engine block has a large CANADA cast right into it above the casting #.
The 110 is not actually the wheelbase; SWB was 115". Check the frame where the VIN in Keith's picture is when you can and report back to see if it's bare or has the correct VIN stamped into it (or if it has another Chevrolet number, obviously).

Please post the scans when you get the brochure in; that sounds very interesting.

My '68 Impala that was made in Delaware with a Canadian-made 307 also has "CANADA" cast into the heads (haven't checked the block).
