Mudflap ◊ 2011-06-11 20:11	I spy a GMC Transmode.

She is a rounded-line 1973-1980 GM C-Series (rear-wheel drive) and likely has dual rear wheels. 1979 would be the cut-off model year, due to the year of filming, so it won’t be a 1980 model. It’s either a 30 Series or 35 Series one-ton truck depending on if it’s a Chevrolet or GMC.

Neptune ◊ 2011-06-12 01:31	Ah, indeed. I had forgotten about the color difference. My apologies rjluna2.
rjluna2 ◊ 2011-06-12 02:24	No problem, Neptune I was going over the Chevrolet book and found that this similar design hubcap started around 1976 model year. I don't know if this apply to GMC series as well -- Last edit: 2011-06-12 02:26:42
Ford_Guy ◊ 2011-06-12 02:35	I'll agree with you on that rjluna. I took a look at the different brochures on this page that both Neptune and I use and this hubcap design first appeared on the 1976 brochure. http://brochures.slosh.com/
