Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Visited a store in my town this weekend that sells local honey, meats, & various southern foods. I got a brochure with their pricing & found this 4/5/6 (?) stepside in their vintage pics on the back page.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Nope. Had to sell it about 5 years after that pic was taken. Life got in the way of trucks...... BUT, eventually, what goes around, comes around.
Here's the rest of the story: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=670559 |

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Never knew that they made gmc trucks with grills that were body color and black bumpers.

It also has mis-matched tires front-to-rear. Another special Canadian thing? What about the single-hole hood opening in the front and dark turn signal bezels? That picture looks like it was taken when the plant was brand new. The line to the left is empty. Almost no clutter near the line. The floor looks very clean but dusty, like whitish concrete dust. And the employees are smiling. |

That's why the tire options are structured as "Xxx", "Yxx" and "Zxx" where: X = front Y = rear Z = spare Quote:
If that is in fact the Oshawa assembly plant then it had been producing vehicles since the early 1900's. The photo could be immediately after model change, or showing the two short repair lines that occur after the end of final/roll test. If that is the case then either the drivers haven't shunted any vehicles over to that side, or they are only working one line due to production volume (after hours or Saturday repairs). They could be smiling because it's "time and a half" for overtime ("double time" for Sundays). ![]() K

If this was Flint there would be all kinds of vehicle bodies, dunnage, support vehicles (forklifts and electric scooters) and junk stacked in the aisleway. K

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
I love the old production line photos- of just about any vehicle. But the GMC truck one is particularly cool.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
It's not a single hole/slot. The center section is painted black.

If this is a factory assembled truck, it's clearly special order unit with all the variance it shows. You gotta like a factory oddball! |
