i have always wondered this..why does any manufactuer such as LMC, classic industries, BROTHERS, make very few parts for gmc trucks such as emblems?

can anyone answer this?

Restrorob · 01-26-2011, 09:27 PM

Most likely due to less production numbers.....

54Caddy · 01-26-2011, 09:35 PM

i know i wish they sold gmc parts. My truck is a gmc but since parts are hard too find it is currently a mutt with chevrolet emblems

I heard one time that the licensing cost was higher to use "GMC". Whether that is correct or not, I'm not sure...?

the same reason a scottsdale 20 emblem is cheaper than a scottsdale 10 emblem

JuicyJ · 01-27-2011, 03:14 PM

I have been looking for another gmc sierra calssic emblem but I have yet to find it. I looked in my Year one Catalog and they have some but not the emblem I need.

turner16 · 01-27-2011, 09:53 PM

Cause GMC is a far better badge, more rare, just worth way more. And they ALWAYS had a better front end/grill/lights

*87 chevy silverado* · 01-27-2011, 10:02 PM
