What is a GMC 910?

When I was little my Dad's 1968 GMC 1/2-ton had side emblems that said, if I remember correctly, 910. And I think they went 920 and 930 for 3/4 and 1 tons.

I presume this is a Canadian thing (it was in Canada), but anyone know why they were 9XX instead of 1500, 2500, and 3500? Where did the 900 part come from?

Thanks!
Dave

Dave....I remember seeing the '9' designation many times but I wasn't sure if it is a Canadian thing or not...hmmm. Anyays, if I find out anything on this I'll post a follow-up.
Did you live in Canada for a stretch?....dual citizenship?
All good

Re: What is a GMC 910?

I am not sure of the reason, but the "9" series was canadian through 1969. 910= 1/2 ton, 920= 3/4 ton etc... through 960.
Doesn't really answer your question, but does verify.

That must have been after the exchange rate!

A 1500 was worth only 910 Canadian
