What an excellent example of how General Motors saves tooling cost in pickup production. Not cars!
Over one million ½ ton hub caps were produced in these three years. Their tooling for Chevy and GMC was almost the same. ONLY the small red logo in the center was added with a different stamping.
Another example: New Truck buyer’s wants are different than for their cars. GM does not design trucks with car buyers in mind. The extra “fluff” does not justify the extra cost! Production cost can be lowered on many pickup items.
