Once you know which is which, there's no way to confuse those. Ever. No gray area.
sooooo which years are those?
just F'n with ya.

what about the 55 chevys? what GMTxxx is that? or how
about the 68s which are kick azz. or how about the 78 which are really sweet too? hell ive always like the 81-82 Box style with single
head lights vs the 86 or 87 i cant remember with the Dual head lights.

so whats the proper GMTxxx code for the 50s, then the 60s, then the 70s? cuz i assume the GMT400 is the 80-87 or 88 whenever they swapped to the GMT800 edition.

here is the problem with changing the names. Type in cbs in your search and see what you come up with then type in nnbs see the difference. we are kind of stuck with these names. The only thing we can do is not **** up the name for the next gen of trucks

It's a thread based on a conversation between you and Trey. How far could it possibly go?
