anyone noticed the new GMC commercial?

I can not believe it!! They show a lot of different year trucks but skip the best years of all! I did not see a single 60-72 truck on the entire commercial. I think they did show an emblem though. Just wondered if anyone noticed.

Thumbs down

Yeah, Church, they have all those pics on their website last time I was there, but hey have more pics on their website, including ours. They seem to be using their heritage in advertising but didn't show a pic of these pickups. I would show lots of pics of these next to new trucks, like Chevy is doing now.

If they did, no one would want to buy the new junk. LOL

How do you improve on the best trucks ever made?

They couldn't give me any of this garbage they make today. Plastic junk!

I think that our trucks are the worst mistake GM ever made. Every day I see dozens on the road. Building them this tough has got to have cost them Billions of dollars in new truck sales.

That is funny mikep! I disagree with bob though. I would gladly recieve one of these trucks for free. Then I could sell it for at least ten thousand and blow that on my truck too! Low68

It seems like everyone i know with a vehicle about 10 years old is having problems with it rusting out or falling apart. Little annoying stuff like power windows that don't work, slipping trannies, and bad sensors. The 88-up GM trucks have a lifespan of about 10 years before they start to rust. I love the way the new Chevy and GMC HD trucks look, but you would have to trade them in every few years it you still wanted a good truck...
