New guy with issues

[Big Chip]

I may be wrong, but I've never once seen a truck pre 1988 that said 1500 on it

I don't claim to know all, maybe the heavy halfs were c/k 15s, but still no regular half ton was a "chevy 1500" as far as I knew. If I am wrong I'm not afraid to admit it, I just really never heard of it, and I've been around GM trucks my whole life. All of a sudden these last few years I hear dudes saying "oh yeah I just got an '84 chevy 2500" because they bought an old 3/4 ton truck and don't know enough to call it a K20 because that sounds "weird" to them...

Yeah, those guys are dipshits.

Upon looking into it further, there may be truth to those statements and I apologize, I never realized. I saw the badges that say 1500 on old late 60s-early 70s (pre square, GMC olnly) trucks, but can't for the life of me understand the difference (and even then it's only a select few, mind blown), and can't find any literature explaining the difference...

You seem to have forgotten about the far superior and "ahead of it's time" GMC.

Yeah - it seems like maybe thru 73 they were "hunnert" then flipped back to 15, 25, 35.
