My office was in Pontiac for about 10 years but I'm not recognizing that building. Medium Duty trucks were built on South Blvd; those building are now all gone. The Fleet garage was at the north end of the loop (just north of Woodward) and is still standing in use as a construction/roofing company. I'll have to drive by on the way home and see if I can nail the location based on some of the other houses in the background. K

Murphy98, did you have to resize that pic to post it? If so would you be able to send me the original file if I PM you my email address? |

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Thanks Chevy_man5, that would be awesome if you truck was in the photo! I did resize it a good bit, think the original scan of the photo is around 3MB. PM me your email, I'll be happy to send you the larger file size. It does enlarge very well in any JPEG software you use so you may be able to see more details in the photo.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Wow, that's very cool Keith! Love to get more info on some of these old photos from people who know the area! Here is what is typed on the back of the photo which is where I got the info from. I tried to zoom in on the name & address on the building but can't make out the letters or numbers even using a magnifying glass, my eyes are not a good as they used to be

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Its amazing how much difference the color makes. The van looks two tone in the b&w pics.
And wonder why a van on top and not a 1/2 ton truck?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Great pic, I've seen it before but always thought the GMC sign was just in the background with the post hidden by the trucks. I'm with you, I thought the van had a two tone paint job too. If you look at the colour photo the middle yellow band does look a bit darker than the main body.

(a vacant lot with the cement flooring remaining). In all seriousness - I used to continue to do my vehicle swaps in Pontiac after we had moved to the Tech Center in Warren. I actually got lost and missed my turn because they had torn my landmarks down. This was after working on South Blvd for about 10 years. K

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Neat photo, wish we could drive by dealerships today and buy one of these band new trucks! Would not mind having the GMC Action banner either!
