Canadian GMC trucks used the Chevy rear axles and trailing arm suspension. US GMC used Dana axles. And in 63 went to leaf spring rear suspension. Canadian GMC used Chevy turn signal switches and Chevy custom steering wheels were optional. US GMC used GMC specific signal switches. Since all v6 engines do not have a bell housing bolt pattern cast on the block. All need an adapter to bolt a trans up to it. There are 4. Two for the autos and 2 for the manual trans.

Forgot to add that US GMC used only two types of dash knobs. The grey 60 style and the black 61-66 style. Canadian used the Chevy pattern knobs.

Sorry Ron. But I can't help the stupid. Leafs were optional on Chevy 63-72 coils were not on us GMC 63-66. There are more differences than I have listed. But I am done with this.

I realize that internet etiquette isn't common, but typing in all caps is usually considered shouting, since it is loud text.

Well, since GMCs in the US didn't come with I6 engines stock, or at all in the early years, that would be one large difference.
Suspension, axles, and a number of small parts as well.
Also came off different assembly lines (for the most part)
Canadian GMCs were build by GM of Canada, just as the Canadian Chevrolets were, using the same line and parts.
