eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-24 12:46	GMC or Chevrolet emblem?
Raji ◊ 2015-03-24 13:04	I think i can see the GMC emblem -- Last edit: 2015-03-24 13:06:28

eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-25 22:18	Indeed. Medium-duty C-Series, with the tilt-hood option (standard is Alligator hood), available from 1973 onwards: it has the the same kind of opening as the TopKick, with the visible rubber strap. That's what led to the Topkick idea, I think: (The 1974 brochure about the tilt-hood option) (1982 Chevrolet Brochure. From background to foreground: "Alligator-hood" medium-duty, "Tilt-hood" one and Kodiak) About "ours": 1973 default model year? -- Last edit: 2015-03-25 22:20:13
