Yeah, I used to like Fords somewhat...I like the Newer ones but no the old ones

*Mister-B* · 01-13-2013, 03:51 AM

Sounds like the main reason, was so Pontiac, Buick, etc. dealerships could sell trucks along with their cars lol.

Not hardly. What do you base that on? Did you forget Dodge? The ratio of GMCs vs Chevys sold these days has greatly increased on the GMC end. I feel I see as many GMCs as Chevys,maybe more? They look better anyway

dhaymaker · 01-13-2013, 11:30 AM

I agree with special-K, on several accounts. To say "Chevy and Fords are the main trucks anymore is seems" seems to fly in the face of the number of GMCs and Dodges on the road. For that matter, there are several import brands cutting into the market share for the full size trucks.

I have to say, I'm a General Motors fan from way back! But, I like the looks of many of the GMC grills, trim, etc., over some of the designs Chevy has put out. I just don't think GMC could stand the heat of trying to terminate either of the nameplates as far as their truck lines.

**Boog** · 01-13-2013, 12:19 PM

Grabowski Motor Company is said to be the beginings of the GMC truck line. Around 1911 it was bought by Durant, Smith and Chevrolet and by having multi brands created the General Motors Company. I've always thought the GMC trucks were a step above the Chevys in trim and quality. In our area they usually have always been a few hundred higher sticker prices.

SCHRUMGMC · 01-13-2013, 01:21 PM

AH well it was just my Opinion.Im not too fond of Dodges Lol

Scott>72-GMC · 01-13-2013, 03:38 PM

Lol I love the pics and the gmc fans !!

Through this era and years beyond the Chevy to GMC ratio was about 5:1,but these days I'd wager it's about 50/50.
And Schrum,I don't like Dodges,either,but they sell a lot of trucks. And,your reply still overlooks GMC. They are very much in the game.

Here are some not mine C2500 for inspiration. Some may be other members':

SCHRUMGMC · 01-13-2013, 04:00 PM

Dear mother of God, Holy ****.Would you look at that

IT CANT BE, the same Truck

Nope

mjensen · 01-13-2013, 04:02 PM

LOL...it's not the same truck. That's my inspiration picture. It will be identical to that, only Bud Light blue in color.

Scott>72-GMC · 01-13-2013, 04:12 PM

Ha...yeah, I could go for that

I have a BL aluminum bottle that I'm planning on taking down and having the color matched. That will probably be in 10 yrs or so. :-)
