Re: GMC parts
Most likely due to less production numbers.....

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

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