Wow. I knew I came to the right place! Pics of the truck attached.

Thanks so much for all of your help. I have to say that I am a bit relieved because I at least know what my truck is. However I can't also help but feel bad about being duped. Not sure I would have bought it knowing it was a GMC. For me it doesn't have quite the same panache. Not to mention the difference in $ value of a GMC and the same truck from Chevy. The question now becomes should I sell the truck for what I have in to it and buy a chevy or should I restore her to her old GMC self. As far as I can tell its all cosmetic changes like the headlights, grill, tailgate, etc.

So, to answer a few questions:

1. Yes it is a 4x4, or was. The front diff has been removed and there is a plate with rivets on the front floor board.

2. The option sticker has been removed some time ago.

3. Titled as a 1969 Chevy but the VIN matches the GMC VIN on the door VIN tag.

The 396 engine that I thought it had - I know it is a big block because of the 8 bolts on the head covers. However since I know now that this is a '71 GMC K1500 I believe they only offered a 402 (bored over 396). Is there any way to match the number of the engine to the frame? Any way to identify a 396 from a 402?

Thanks for all of your help!
