Have you ever seen these stickers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ilike 72"s · 05-13-2009, 11:58 PM

I just brought home a one owner 69 GMC SWB 4x4 and it has these stickers on it. I have never seen these before.

*highperf4x4* · 05-14-2009, 12:33 AM

It might have been a fleet vehicle.

67ChevyRedneck · 05-14-2009, 12:44 AM

Or an owner obsessed with stickers?

Ilike 72"s · 05-14-2009, 12:58 AM

Could be. I don't know. Have you seen any like these installed at dealerships?
The one is dated right to be of that vintage.

*highperf4x4* · 05-14-2009, 01:02 AM

Not necessarily from the dealer but I've seen similar stickers on fleet vehicles. The company generally puts them on after they get the vehicle from the dealer. Other than that I don't know.

*highperf4x4* · 05-14-2009, 01:03 AM

You could try a carfax report and see if it was originally a fleet vehicle.

Ilike 72"s · 05-14-2009, 01:16 AM

Not a fleet pickup from what I was told. The old boy that bought it new passed away, and his son sold it to me. I got the original title. I didn't ask to many questions.

Bishops Trucks · 05-14-2009, 01:36 AM

I never seen any dealers install those before. My opinion is the owner installed them.

sameyrasmea72 · 05-14-2009, 04:01 AM

Those stickers really ruin that truck, so I will take it off your hands.

It almost resembles something the government or the military would do.

Longhorn Man · 05-14-2009, 09:21 AM

that looks straight up fleet/gov markings. The old man who owned it may have just been funny like that, but they are not original at all.
Car Fax wouldn't help on this. You plug in the VOIN off these trucks and they'll say it is incomplete.

That is a drag!

ATTENTION DRIVER
Check Wheel lugs before moving vehicle

That sounds like Military "dummy proofing" a vehicle to make it safe. I agree with it possibly being a government or fleet vehicle or maybe a retired military man ?

**FleetsidePaul** · 05-14-2009, 11:26 AM

I hope you checked the wheel lugs before you drove it

Southern C10 · 05-14-2009, 12:31 PM

I would guess Military vehicle since its one of thoose "No Brainer" Stickers. Check lug nuts, Check! Check oil, Check! Check tire pressure, Check!

Most the vehicles we use are like that. Stickers for everything. The only thing that would make me think its a fleet vehicle instead of a Mil is the Tire pressure is not written above the tires on the fenders. That is almost a sure fire bet that its a Military vehicle.

tcb-1 · 05-14-2009, 12:35 PM

I especially like the moss growing above the side marker!!

That’s camouflage. Another indicator its a Mil truck

rambler · 05-14-2009, 01:13 PM

I would guess as well either a fleet or gov vechicle,, what does the glove box option sheet say? any build sheet in the bench seat?

He may have taken it to a dmv check point and had them test it. If it has the smog stuff on the motor and passed he could have been a green person and just thought he was doing the right thing.
