GMC Owner - The System is Against ME! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bluec10 · 09-19-2004, 06:21 PM

For a few years I was working on, you guessed it, a blue C-10. I was a proud member of the Chevy crew and able to find any type of Chevrolet logo clothing or mementos that I could desire.

Last spring I found a new project truck: a '69 GMC. So, now that I'm a GMC guy I want GMC stuff. Do you think I can find anything close to the amount of Chevy stuff? Yes, I know that GMC sells fewer trucks than Chevy. Yes, I know that the Chevy audience is bigger because of the car crowd. But for goodness sake - give us GMC the goods!

Longhorn Man · 09-19-2004, 06:59 PM

LOL, it is part of the exclusive club...you just know a GMC owner by meeting them, you can't figure out what it is about them, you just know...."He's a GMC owner...what a cool guy."

*Randy70C-10* · 09-19-2004, 07:46 PM

Yep.

Ackattack · 09-19-2004, 09:45 PM

yeah, I love the cast aluminum valve covers Chevy sells, but I can't put those on my truck...damnit I guess I will just have to buy a chevy to put them on.

Brainchild · 09-20-2004, 07:29 AM

Well I must be really cool,I have 2 GMC's

Welcome to the elite club in the GM stable.

dyingdeadman · 09-20-2004, 07:38 AM

I have seen a few things on ebay. there is not nearly as much gmc stuff out there as chevy stuff. but its out there, just a little harder to find.

chevy_fatman · 09-20-2004, 09:07 AM

That only means we're different

The few and the proud

**GMCPaul** · 09-20-2004, 11:39 AM

Ahhhhhh GMC's you just gotta love-em!!!! We can help with virtually all GMC 67-72 parts other than 3 exterior emblems used in 67-68, and 1 interior glove box emblem used in 67-68, we also can't do the GMC horn buttons. But otherwise I believe I have everything including the GMC lettered stepside & fleetside tailgates.
Being I am GMC lover and tons of the parts weren't being made I made sure to send off the parts that were not reproduced and got them made.
Stop by our web site or phone we'll be happy to help!!!

its good to be different

mr402 · 09-22-2004, 02:35 AM

Yeah, I guess we are a bit on the "different" side aren't we.
So GMC Paul, is anyone ever going to repro the horn button? Most other parts I've been able to find so far. Was very happy to see the repro grills a few years ago.

7gmc2 · 09-22-2004, 02:57 AM

yeah try looking for horn buttons, or the ever hard to find serria grande emblem for the glove box door! i have heard the build ratio for gmc's is about 1 gmc to every 3 chevy's!

now factor in that most gmc's were sold for commercial use! how many do you think are left? so be glad you are in the club! it is very limited.....

*Gee_Emm* · 09-22-2004, 03:24 AM

Try checking out the dealerships, I know that Murray Chev olds on Bishop Grandin has some GMC stuff in their gift shop in the parts department, maybe even the GMC dealer across from them has stuff, not sure because I never been inside.

Eddie H. · 09-22-2004, 03:46 AM

Welcome to the GMC club.
Right now, I own 3 GMC's, 2 that run and one in pieces scattered all over the garage. I've always liked the looks of the chrome grille and quad headlights better. I do wish that parts were as plentiful as they are for Chevys though.
I still kick myself for not buying that low mileage all original, mint condition, 72 Sierra Grande for $1800 that I passed up a few years ago.

67ChevyC10Stepside · 09-22-2004, 06:02 AM

any ideas from all you GMC folks of how to get rid of a gmc front end? grill rad support lights hood?

gmcnorton · 09-22-2004, 11:46 AM

gmc fronts look meaner ...lol.....

mr402 · 09-23-2004, 04:39 AM

Must admit that when the slow pokes in front see a 67-72 GMC grill on their tail they tend to move out of the way a bit quicker. Personally, Chev or GMC, they're both great trucks.
