Tim made a couple of corrections and had several good suggestions. I redid them using MS paint, and then sent them to Tim for review. He encouraged me to revise my decoders into a more presentable format, and post them up on this site. One of the many friends I have made here is SS Tim. All of these were on paper and I used them to help answer VIN questions that came up on the site for the next two years. Then decoders for Chevrolets were made to complete the set. The next step was Model Number decoders for the GMCs. This evolved into decoders for the rest of the 68-72 GMC light duty trucks.

After some research I was able to make a 67 GMC VIN decoder, and used it to help 67 GMC owners decode their VIN's. One thing quickly became apparent, there were no good 1967 GMC VIN decoders available. What interested me the most were the numbers. GMC also used to manufacture fire trucks, ambulances, heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, motorhomes, and transit buses, and medium-duty trucks but its not part of its current product portfolio.In 2009 I joined this site and started learning everything possible about our trucks. Its SUVs, vans, light-duty trucks, are brilliant in both design and performance. Based on their GM Theta Platform, GMC launched the “Terrain” mid-size crossover SUV.Ĭurrently, GMC began producing pickups and commercial trucks. GMC ceased the production of its medium-duty commercial trucks in 2009 after one hundred years. Acadia, GMC’s 1st unibody crossover SUV was unveiled in 2007 and in the following year, its predecessor Envoy was stopped from manufacturing. General Motor Company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2002. With this, the GMC Truck Division was formed and was officially named as General Motor Company in 1988.īy the end of the 20th century, dealers gained the liberty to sell trucks and cars specifically from entry to the middle level. The year 1987 was not good for GMC as it led to the cessation of bus production. Further, in 1981, it was integrated with GM Worldwide Truck & Bus Group. After this acquisition, the name was GMC Truck and Coach Division. General Motors Company got its official name after years of acquisition by General Motors which included taking over the Yellow Cab bus and taxi manufacturer partially in 1925 and completely in 1943. Over time both have made significant changes in the vehicle engine design and both also differ in the case of their customers. Due to evolution from the same platform, GMC and Chevrolet had similar trucks back in 1920 but differed only in the case of the engine. General Motor Company was behind the production of 600,000 trucks for US Defence Forces during the second world war. Durant reformed the General Motors Truck Company by integrating Reliance and Rapid in 1911. After gaining power over the Reliance Motor Vehicle Company in 1908, Mr. Durant declared that the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company will be a subsidiary of General Motor Company.

GMC began in 1902 with the inception of the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company.Īfter working for seven years, it's founder William C. They have been carrying their legacy since the beginning of the twentieth century while designing state of the art automobiles. When we talk about the automobile market, General Motor Company (GMC) lands on the top of our minds.
