Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
Yeah, look out!
I prefer GMC's because they are a little rarer and........... to me they look more like a truck (if that makes sense).

Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
Just found my latest and jumped on it for how rare it is, then I see quite a few in the week to come! None the less they are so cool. I have always preferred the GMC look over all the eras. Also the fact that less people have them and are harder to come by plays a role in my love for them. I eventually plan to own a 51 to go with my 61 and 71 and maybe eventually a decade or two before and after. Not dissin you chevy guys in the slightest just gotta prefer the GMC looks and heavier duty heritage. All

Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
I like the rarity, too. I like that the grille is a little more designed than the Chev, but I don't like how the dash is way under-designed.

Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
Truthfully, I have my GMC because the price was right- I was actually looking for a Chevy, but couldn't pass up the deal I got.
My sisters '65 Chevy -R.I.P- (the truck, not the sister) was the nostalgic reason for the purchase. 1/2 ton,350, powerglide, camper shell on the back, I went camping all over in that truck for years. It was a constant companion through my childhood. But I love mine- I love the 4 headlights and the grille. I love the 8lugs, the 250, the drum brakes, the manual steering, the granny low 4speed, even the 4.56 gears. I'm partial to fleetsides and longbeds, but I like every one of these trucks that I see, whether lifted or slammed, stock or wild, farm truck or trailer queen, GMC or Chevy.

Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
BTW the GMC grill area is called "The Barbell" for obvious reasons. I learned that little bit of info from Jolly's site.

Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
......I have always dug the 62-66 GMC hoods because the center is more prominent and the cat-eye turn lenses are really cool. I would love one for the pick-up but cant seem to have cash and the hood at the same time.

Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
Old Grandpa always said that the difference between a Chevy and a GMC was that the GMC factory used lock washers. A GMC would last longer on the farm

Re: man the chevy's men, gmc's are taking over!!!!
We need to find a cool slogan to bash Chevies, since us GMC guys are still outnumbered.... Like "Keep the 2 headlights in the bedroon, save the 4 headlights for the street. GMC.
