Yes - it's a vehicle tear down, for comparison purposes (both engineering learnings and marketing use).

I don't know what location they would have used back then; probably the shops at Chevrolet Central Office.

We still do that. Today we do it south of 12 Mile Rd in a portion of the Pre-production build facility called the GM Knowledge Center.

Not exactly a vintage photo, but a video interviewing the Chief Engineer who designed our squarebodies. Paul Hitch says the 1973 truck was his proudest achievement:

If I could go back to those days.....I would have to have this truck EXACTLY as it sits here, complete with the Appliance wheels.
