Orange · 10-08-2007, 02:44 PM

OK - this is the up to date current official results for this year.
Vote, and lets see where this stands for the current members.
It's been done before, it'll be done again.

What' is it? Chevy or GMC - basing it on 1967-1972 ONLY!

Pics?

I'll have to vote GMC, 'cause that's what I have. But, I do like the Chevys. I just didn't want to change to a Chevy front. Wanted to keep it original.

70GMCer · 10-08-2007, 03:38 PM

You know Chevys will be the favorite......That's what's there is more of on here....

mikeoj · 10-08-2007, 03:44 PM

Don't have one,but a lowered GMC (dual headlights)Just looks coool!!

68GMCCustom · 10-08-2007, 04:05 PM

I voted Chevy ('67-'68) but I'm working on a hybrid project...a '67-'68 grill.....with 4 headlights.

blukangoo · 10-08-2007, 04:07 PM

I like the ones from Chevrolet the best. That´s the main reason I looked for a chevrolet.

tclaremont · 10-08-2007, 04:07 PM

I own a GMC, but think the Chevy looks cleaner. Certainly not to the point where I would lower the value of my GMC by putting Chevy grille and tailgage on there, though.

skokie · 10-08-2007, 04:19 PM

My 68 is a chevy but the 01 is a gmc.. Id say both

Yea, that's always the consensus...and how it usually turns out...

BUT...for all the haters that say nobody likes GMC's - they will see that there is a following of GMC fans too.

Just kidding man - I know you ain't. There are seriously people that think nobody likes the GMC's though. For real.

72freak · 10-08-2007, 05:07 PM

That a tough one. It use to be 71/72...Now its a toss up and its probably 69/70.........The only thing I know for sure is its NOT GMC...sorry GMC guys!
Ive had them....it never grew on me!!!!

BHRS · 10-08-2007, 05:15 PM

I have always been a Chevy guy, but maybe we all just haven't seen enought GMC grilles to make an honest judgement.

If you have few pictures of GMC frontends-post them so we can really see the difference between a Chevy and GMC.

tclaremont · 10-08-2007, 05:19 PM

This board is full of pictures of GMCs. Take a look around and see them all you want. No need to post them on this thread, is there?

Orange · 10-08-2007, 05:22 PM

Brian -
I edited my first post and put up some pics so that others could benefit easier.

Thank you!!! If some of the members don't know the difference it makes it hard to give an honest opinion.

70GMCer · 10-08-2007, 05:34 PM

Can this push the voting upward?

Longhorn Man · 10-08-2007, 05:35 PM

For years, I liked the 69/70 GMC grill best
But the last 2 years or so, I've been leaning towards the 67/68 chevy nose.
My 70 chevy longhorn has a 70 GMC nose, and my 72 chevy burb is getting a 68 nose.

*ksjh1316* · 10-08-2007, 05:36 PM

IMHO can't beat the 67 GMC front just looks clean and perfect

Nice.

I like the 69-70 GMC front ends better than my 71-72 style. But even still - the '67 is the best.

bent · 10-08-2007, 05:45 PM

I for one vote GMC they are just cool and dont follow the traditonal single or top and bottom head light setup. That and the the cross hair that makes the grill is just intimadating. to some

MXmaniac · 10-08-2007, 05:47 PM

I love the dual headlights. GMC gets my vote, even though I have a Chevy.

**special-K** · 10-08-2007, 08:34 PM

I like them all.But,seeing a nice truck,then that it`s a GMC just adds something to it.Like seeing a nice Chevelle only to realize it`s a Canadian Beaumont.
