GMC trucks
Posted by MRME on Monday, January 19, 2015 9:44 AM

Was going to ask this on {sister site}, but dont want to *** off their forum police, so i thought i could ask here What year did GMC start using 350 in trucks, specifically tow truck, have photos of an old tow truck with 350 in white letters in center of its grill, was that a model number, or would that indicate engine size?????Whistling Thanks and hope this doesn't sound too stupid!!!Huh?

Oh, that's a good one.  Maybe try the wikipedia page on the GM 350.  The older model trucks were C10 style series numbers (70s I believe) so I would guess that badging is the cubic inches.  I think 80s were like 1500 and 2500 for models.

IIRC it was with the body style change in '67.  GMC used the 305 V-6 til then, and I think they also had a 351 V-6 even into the late '60's but won't swear to it.

And by the mid 70's Chev made everything from one ton and down for both badges, and GMC made everything from there up for both makes.  I worked in a Chev dealer ship and we always got trucks in with GMC emblems on the Chevs. Sometimes it was just one side sometimes both on the fenders.  Grills and tailgates were usually correct.

That body change brought the usual C/K (K for the 4x4's) 10/20/30 series for Chev and the 15/25/35 for GMC.

there is an Autos section on this site. Might be a nicer place to call home.
