Both of my '68 Chevy C-10's are stock leaf sprung and one has a Posi. Not common but available.

10pointgmc · 02-03-2009, 07:46 PM

never seen a chevy half ton with leafs here in indiana (around my neck of the woods anyway) but a gmc can be made to look just like a chevy

eightbanger · 02-03-2009, 07:59 PM

Chevy!!! but that do'es not mean I hate GMC, It's just my preference.

***Liz*** · 02-03-2009, 08:30 PM

Most of the trucks I have owned and do are GMCs. I know most folks love chevy.. and they are ok too

I just have a soft spot for GMC

GMC has dual head lights and are BIGGER

***Liz*** · 02-03-2009, 09:01 PM

just remember to keep it family friendly. We have alot of young members around.

67ChevyRedneck · 02-03-2009, 09:03 PM

The GMC headlights are actually smaller than the chevy versions, there's just more of them

Nice pic though

Dang it, missed the picture.

I have all Chevys at the moment, but I do so like the GMCs. 4-eyes Rule!

**88JRFAN** · 02-03-2009, 11:01 PM

I will go either way. I like the gmc grills more for the chrome. As they say though, four eyes are better than one.

allen123 · 02-03-2009, 11:06 PM

Well i don't know what other people think but my favorites are the 67-68 chevy's
But I kinda think the bowties atract people a little bit more

72BlckButy · 02-04-2009, 09:18 AM

I like all the GM models that were available, so I voted for both. However, I would tend to lean towards the Chevrolet, but if the GMC body was rust free it would definitely win.

**special-K** · 02-04-2009, 12:03 PM

I bet a loaded big block`72 short wide bed Sierra Grande could fetch more than a Cheyenne Super.It`s got a touch of exotic,just like muscle cars.Across the line Chevy`s made the most and best line of great looking,running lasting designs.But,hand pick select Buick,Pontiac,Olds,and even Cadillac muscle and you`ve hit the jackpot.Common place doesn`t bring the most money.Rarity dictates value,even when less want it.GMCs aren`t exactly undesireable.

wHATANERD · 02-04-2009, 03:28 PM

I like the 69 - 70 Chevy Grille the best, 71 and 72 have too much plastic

OrangeCrush1970 · 02-04-2009, 05:01 PM

There's no plastic on the GMC grills.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this.
When looking around eBay it seems Chevs are asking more, but what does that mean!
