Ron, differences are differences. He listed more than just knobs. To focus on just the knobs is just to argue. A collection of differences is important to the discussion that is partly about the DIFFERENCES in US and Can. To dismiss a part of the differences instead of acknowledging the whole collection (and there seems to be even more examples) is an ignorant and rude way for a 15 post Jr. to present. When folks have studied GMC's a long time and hear new info, they don't just fall in love with you, they want proof so that the group, you have chosen to join, can be sure it's not just WIKI crap.

Canadian GMCs were build by GM of Canada, just as the Canadian Chevrolets were, using the same line and parts.
David; what was this page that Jolly had listed on his site?

I have more than likely been around here a lot longer than you have; I just haven't bothered posting that much since the changeover. I had used he moniker "sidworks" before the change and the name didn't seem to follow over so I lost interest for awhile.
I did work on them in the 60's and currently have had my 64 GMC 910 4 x 4 panel for 24 years and have had others, so I am really not ignorant of thye fact. but if as you say one must speak a lot to be knowledgable is pretty ignorant. you should never presume anything.
ron
believe that I started posting here in 05

I see that you are not comprehending what you read. I stated; I have more than likely been around here a lot longer than you have. the more than likely takes away the presumption, just in case
please read what is in front of you before you spout and comprehend
cheers

I did reconsider and change my post, but you are too "quick" for me. (read: hot head). We are the same age so you haven't been around anywhere longer than me.

"wonder who is cloning who
what you guys seem to say is that the US is the world leader in everything".
ron

OK, so General Motors in a North American automobile manufacturer with plants and lots of satisfied customers in Canada; it is not the opposite - a Canadian company with lots of satisfied customers in the U.S. so if your view is that GM vehicles are superior to that of Canadian auto makers then yes, you can add GM vehicles to the list of things the U.S. seems to be the world leader in.

GM decided that for cost reasons among other things, that it would borrow from the Chevrolet division its cabs, bodies and frames & drivetrains to use as GMC models in Canada. Guage clusters and dashes are all Chevrolet design from the 50's and 60's. Eaton rear ends instead of Dana's, coil springs vs leafs - every difference between the two makes had between them here basically. the GMC name was added to badging, instruments cluster bezels, etc but the trucks were indeed mostly Chevrolet in Canada. No Pontiac V8's in Canadian 55-59 trucks either so same story there.

Leaf springs were a factory installed option on all 60's Chevrolet trucks despite rumors this is not true; you just seldom see one. I have a 66 Chevy truck now that came with them. So your 65 GMC built in Canada was probably special ordered with the leafs, because 99% of the other Canadian GMC's that rolled off that line got standard coils.
