Well this frame has nothing on top so it must be a GMC, so I have half a GMC at least. Hmmm, should I make it a full GMC or a full Chevy, or when asked by passerby's "Is that a GMC or a Chevy?", I'll say "yup". Here's a pic from frigid Iowa upon delivery.
Nice looking shortbox! More pics would be cool. This is just a WAY out there guess, but I wonder since Chevy's were standard with coils, and GMC's standard with leafs, that they just used a GMC frame and suspension when someone would special order a Chevy with leaf springs?? Would have saved a lot of work at the assembly plant.

It's ok with me if you can still be a member!
