Sounds like the main reason, was so Pontiac, Buick, etc. dealerships could sell trucks along with their cars lol.

Re: Pics of your 67-72 gmc truck???
Not hardly. What do you base that on? Did you forget Dodge? The ratio of GMCs vs Chevys sold these days has greatly increased on the GMC end. I feel I see as many GMCs as Chevys,maybe more? They look better anyway

Re: Pics of your 67-72 gmc truck???
I agree with special-K, on several accounts. To say "Chevy and Fords are the main trucks anymore is seems" seems to fly in the face of the number of GMCs and Dodges on the road. For that matter, there are several import brands cutting into the market share for the full size trucks.
I have to say, I'm a General Motors fan from way back! But, I like the looks of many of the GMC grills, trim, etc., over some of the designs Chevy has put out. I just don't think GMC could stand the heat of trying to terminate either of the nameplates as far as their truck lines.

Re: Pics of your 67-72 gmc truck???
Grabowski Motor Company is said to be the beginings of the GMC truck line. Around 1911 it was bought by Durant, Smith and Chevrolet and by having multi brands created the General Motors Company. I've always thought the GMC trucks were a step above the Chevys in trim and quality. In our area they usually have always been a few hundred higher sticker prices.

Re: Pics of your 67-72 gmc truck???
Through this era and years beyond the Chevy to GMC ratio was about 5:1,but these days I'd wager it's about 50/50.
And Schrum,I don't like Dodges,either,but they sell a lot of trucks. And,your reply still overlooks GMC. They are very much in the game. Here are some not mine C2500 for inspiration. Some may be other members':

Don't get me wrong. Bud Light Blue looks good even if the body hardly has a straight line on it
