question about gmc vs chevy

[jkell2a]

I recently purchased a 1984 GMC Sierra 1500, I know that Squarebodys made by GM are pretty much the same besides the badges and I was wondering if i would be considered "wrong" if i put chevy emblems on my GMC truck, I simply like the bowties and prefer it more, Let me know... thanks

By us GMC guys, yes, you will be judged lol. You do you man, whatever makes you happy

Each to their own

Compared to those weird cartoon anime wraps some people love, a bit of pickup truck misbadging will go unnoticed. Completely.

Do whatever you like. I put new Z-71 emblems on my truck. I put them where the Silverado emblems would be. My truck was stripped of all the trim and emblems by the PO. I'm thinking of buying a set of Texas Edition emblems and putting them on her. I have a set of Trail Boss decals but haven't put them on yet.

We built some that were Chevy on one side and GMC on the other.

Really? Custom order?

Now that I think about it: we had a "race truck" at the Proving Ground that was a GMC.

Back before you could run anything at a Super Chevy event we used to change the grill and tailgate to Chevy in order to run the races. We left the fender emblems and dash emblems as GMC and nobody ever noticed.

I remember they would come from the factory with wrong badges on one side. Just what they had on the assembly line as they were all built in same place.

Do whatever you prefer. GMC was considered higher level than Chevrolet (Professional grade they call it now). My 85 is a GMC but you can easily do what you prefer as they are similar.

Might be from too many "custom orders" of tequila the night before?

I like GMC more most of the time, but some years, yeah, I think the Chevy grill looks better. I'd recommend not scrapping the old emblems, but I doubt anyone is going to bust you up too much for making it look better in your own eyes.

Kinda funny, I always call myself a "chevy" guy, but I've had 4 GMC's, 3 Chevy trucks (one of them is my motorhome), 2 Chevy cars, 2 Saturns, 1 Toyota and 1 inherited Ford (my wife's truck when we got married). I suppose that's more chevy badges than any other, but more GMC trucks than Chevy trucks.

I always say I'm a chevy guy but really. I'm just a GM guy. And older IH

We all know that the Chevy is a better truck. Why else would it be dressed up with a bowtie?
