I don't know about 1972, but in earlier years it would have been a GMC 920 on the side.

My 71 says custom 1500 and my 72 says Sierra grande 1500 so I'm thinking yours should say whatever it is 2500. I think the 910-920 thing stopped in 68. But not sure.

I think 69 was the last year for the Canadian emblems.

Nice looking Longhorn Bob and as a footnote your truck was built in Oshawa, Ontario not Ottawa ,Ontario. They are no automobile plants in Ottawa as it's the Capital of Canada. If the spid says Mandatory Canadian Base equipment the truck was sold new in Canada. From what I understand the GMC's didn't have the Longhorn scripts on the box.

I believe this to be correct. 70 and up used the same badging as the US models.

68 CRACKERBOX · 09-19-2016, 11:42 AM

no those wheels and that little steering wheel are the first two things that need to go.will put white steel wheels and caps on it.

For the 1970 model year you could go to a Pontiac dealer in Canada and buy a Catalina or a Parisienne, for example, so that seems to be the cutover year. Makes sense it'd be about the same for trucks.

Very nice truck you have there! GMC longhorns were never badged as a Longhorn. I think if it was a 3/4 ton it would of had 2500 badges but I haven't ever had a GMC Longhorn personally.

Cool truck,nice to see a few trucks being built that aren't all being cut down to short bed.
