1976 GMC or Chevy?

Hey guys I cant remember if my truck is a gmc or a chevy. And this thing wont let me upload a picture but it's in my profile it's the red shortbed with moons. Since that pic (15 years ago) all the trim is gone only have a shell now. I'm 70% sure it was a gmc but idk. Any help is appreciated.

The VIN number indicates if you have a GMC or Chevrolet.

Re: 1976 GMC or Chevy?

They came off the same assembly line. One time at the dealership we got a new pickup that said Chevy on one side and GMC on the other.

I saved and blew up your picture and still can't read the fender emblem. I need to go out and look at mine and see if the overall shape resembles yours.

Looks like a well optioned truck for 1976. The "C" in the VIN indicates that it was born a Chevrolet. However if the VIN is missing off the cab, the truck could have had a different glove box door put on. Got any pictures of the truck?
