Notice anything else?

That's right, they're NOT WEARING THEIR SEATBELTS!!

Very irresponsible of GMC to portray them this way.

How can you tell? Center belt was an option...and harrdly any of them had shoulder harnesses...

bpmcgee · 05-01-2003, 12:11 AM

Darn.

Longhorn, way to kill my little attempt at humor!

Longhorn Man · 05-01-2003, 12:22 AM

heh heh heh
you are right about the add campaigns though...have you ever seen the 69 chevy add saying it was built to be woman handled? It shows a lady backing a long bed up to a fruit vendor/grocery store, and goes on to say that the power steering and brakes makes it perfect for the lady of the house...
I about pissed my pants laughing when I read that one.

International never had anything like that. They had their fair share of weird crap, but nothing like that. To me it doesn't even look right with the rest of the truck...it looks aftermarket.

Alexis · 05-01-2003, 01:13 AM

the lettering style reminds me of PT Crusier lettering....

casey · 05-01-2003, 02:04 AM

*Gee_Emm* · 05-01-2003, 09:21 AM

Cool, thats gotta be fairly uncommon

Rod · 05-01-2003, 10:06 AM

Hmm those I havent seen... I buy em to have em..LOl.

*Gee_Emm* · 05-01-2003, 06:40 PM

Considering that only 2 percent of 67 Chevrolets and 3 percent of 68's had the camper badging package I would expect the GMC's would be less then 5 percent which probably is a good explanation for the badges rarity
