No, most likely Pontiac. Janesville didn't get a medium duty line until late '89 and those big H/J series trucks were all built at Pontiac Truck & Coach.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

That's a very cool picture. Shows a nice variety, both brands, medium & heavy, and even a cowl & chassis (likely a bus)

Bob, have I ever told you how much I appreciate your wealth of GMC knowledge? I think you are one of the most unsung contributors to the site for GMC knowledge.I learn a lot from you. Thanks!

Thanks, my pleasure! I have learned a lot from you as well.

BTW- I had a good friend that worked at Janesville. RIP Gene.

Bob,

I have also appreciated your info through the years.

It would be great if you could write a book on these great old machines.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

Speaking of books, there is one good one on GMC heavy trucks:

https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Tr...rds=gmc+trucks

It is very accurate and goes into quite a bit of detail.

There was also a book titled '100 Years Of GMC'. Don't think it's in print anymore. It didn't go into great depth on the heavy trucks, but it does have a lot of nice pictures.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

I finally bought that book and I am real happy with it, but I wish it gave more info, like more details on VIN Decoding.

One reason why I try to buy Factory GMC Manuals, but I keep ending up with Chevy Manuals, lol.

I probably have about 8 of them.

I spent years trying to find a GMC Master Parts Catalog and finally gave up, lol.

I have seen a few Master Parts Catalogs show up on Ebay before, usually they come in light, medium, and heavy duty. However, since (in those days!) the light and medium catalogs were small, dealers would often put them both in the same binder. While parts catalogs are definitely nice to have and useful, the 'holy grail' is the dealer data book. These things are huge (600+ pages), and cover all specifications, options, and pricing for all GMC models. They sometimes even have color pictures of paint and interior trim. One in a great while I have seen the Chevrolet editions, but never the GMC. Dealers would toss them when the new models would come out.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

I'm familiar with that and don't know why they would do it, but a friend of mine caught the dumpster just right one day at a dealership and was able to retrieve some books. Luckily they stayed in nice condition.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

A data book would be so useful now, all these years later. I have a '71 Chevy book for 30-series down to Vega and Vette. It also had brochures in it such as rec vehicle, towing (including Impala Wagon and El Camino), 4wd, K/5, and Pickups. I think I paid $25 about 25 years ago. The best part was I had my Ochre & White camper truck back then and on the cover was a Cheyenne Super/10 with same paint and the cover is actually Ochre/White/Ochre. I am always looking out for a big truck data book

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

Here is a pic of my dad's 1968 C60 Dump truck. Tandem Axle, 454, 5+4 Speed twin stick transmission. Factory tach (now installed in my 68 K20 lol) Last on the road in 1987, used on the farm untill approx. 2004. This truck is what started my love for the 67-72 Chevy trucks!

Youre exactly right Special-K! I have always especially loved the 67s/68s for this reason and that is why when I bought my pickup I bought a 68
