The main one is a 1985-1988 GMC C-2500 Sierra equipped with a Wideside bed. The one in the thumbnail is a Chevrolet C-10. Are they supposed to be the same truck? Because if not then maybe the Chevy can get it's own page? |

the tailgate on the truck in the thumbnail reads GMC also doesn't the fender badge on the main image (and the thumbnail for that matter) look like the Chevrolet style? I think this is rather a Chevrolet C-20 Custom Deluxe Fleetside with replacement GMC grille -- Last edit: 2011-09-12 07:10:53 |

D'oh! You're right. The thumbnail truck is indeed a GMC 1/2-ton truck. I'm fairly sure the truck in the main image is a GMC. While it has Chevrolet hubcaps, notice that it is a base model. If it was a Chevrolet, it would need to have the longer "Custom Deluxe" badge. This one (as well as the one in the thumbnail) definitely has the shorter "Sierra" badge. |

I don't think the GMCs had emblems in that shape Compare: While the GMC in my example is a High Sierra emblem (I couldn't find a good pic of a Sierra one online) you can still see what i am talking about, GMC's emblem has the trim name followed by a square with the chassis designation in it, where Chevrolets has the trim level with the chassis designation above and the "starburst" underneath making the emblem form the shape of a "t" or cross on its side. |

I stand corrected |

Hmmm... if it weren't for the tailgate it could be dismissed as a Chevy with a GMC grille. |

Now that I take a much closer look, are both the same truck? The bed damage a bit below the gas tank opening next to the rear wheel well on the main image seems to be consistent with damage visible in the thumbnail |

I think they are the same, the rear bumper matches as well. It appears the truck lost it's wheel covers in the thumbnail though |

So then what could it be? It has a GMC front end and tailgate, but Chevrolet hubcaps and name badge |
◊ 2011-09-13 23:48 |
well I am guessing that it is just a Chevrolet with replacement grille and tailgate as both of those are more likely to be replaced than the fender emblems |

True about the replacement tailgate. The truck very likely could have been repainted after the tail gate was put on since the paint looks in pretty good condition. |
