You are very welcome Joe.
Hope you find the Brochure useful.
I have many fond memories working for GM of Canada in Oshawa, Ont. when they were building those very trucks - both Chevy and GMC.
We held the Highest Quality Award for GM 1/2 and 3/4 ton Trucks assembled in North America for many years.
Bought my first new Pick-Up in 1994, and have been driving one ever since.

What years was that Gary? I'm looking for a different 3/4 ton to pull a camper and I'd be glad to know it was of the best quality. Worst problem with GM trucks is their rust problem.

GM stopped assembling Pick-Up Trucks in Oshawa "at end of 2009 Model".
It was a Political Decision because GM was shutting down Plants in the US.
At one time we were running 65 j/h on 3 @ 71/2 hr. shifts.
We never built any Diesel Pick-Ups though.
My first Diesel Tow Vehicle was a 2008 2500HD with the 6'6 Duramax.
Now have a 2016 2500HD High Country with 6.6 Duramax, single rear wheels.
Have been towing a 40 ft. Toy Hauler since 2009.
Have been a great Truck
