Thanks for posting! I see the similarities between the two. I took this photo in '86 when these GMC's went to auction.

Not as old as others here, but still qualifies as a nostalgic:

It looks like it might fit.

What do you suppose the guy that is standing up is stealing off the pickup?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

This photo has got me thinking. Don't recall ever seeing a '63 C 20 custom cab stock restoration over the last 10 years on this site. Kinda sad in a way.

Wouldn't it be fun to get in the WayBack Machine w/ your tool bag & go parts shopping! Then mail the parts to yourself & go back to find them on your porch waiting for you!

In all seriousness - I believe I have seen that photo described elsewhere as the end of line "Audit Area" at the Flint Assembly plant.

Makes sense, since Flint built both passenger cars and trucks in the same plant.

Random vehicles are selected as they come off the line and sent to a separate area of the plant, where they are scrutinized in great detail. The data is captured and published to Central Office, where it is reviewed by executives (who use it to decide where to build new products), and also to the other assembly plants (so they can see where they fall in the Quality rankings). You can see what looks like some run charts tracking the data posted on the wall.

Normally the audit was performed by hourly inspectors, but since these guys are wearing ties I would assume the are supervisors that have been called in to explain how some build errors made it this far and what they are going to do about it. Often the responsible assembler is brought back to rub his nose in it, or the entire group to meet surrounding the subject vehicle.

Pure speculation on my part, relative to the photo, but a very real scenario with regards to working in the assembly plant.

Nice insight there. One of my trucks has some serious original paint blems that somebody shoulda had their nose rubbed in. Ha!

I believe the red truck on the left is a D100.
