Maybe but he was specifically asking about the nick names of them such as NBS etc. While this terminology is not correct as per GM I know you are well aware it's commonly used online. Where it started, who knows.

Pretty sure it started because the 99+ body style was the first new body style to come out since the internet started and fanboys needed a way to differentiate their trucks quickly. Nowadays most people are foruming from their phones so saying "nbs" or nnbs is at least 2 characters quicker than typing out gmt800/900

It took me weeks before I figured out what nbs and nnbs meant lol
