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 |

Re: What is a GMC 910?
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 Coley

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
