I'll quote you on the page, if you don't mind.

We came up with the same conclusion: http://imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=472177#Comments
But it s good to remind it, as it is not known by newbies like me (but I did not RTFM read all the threads of the forum either :grin: )

For vehicles that we can't tell if it is a Chevy or GMC we already have a naming rule, as long as we can tell the model or series. i.e GM S-Series, GM G-Series, GM C/K-Series etc.

didn't GM build them on the very same assembly line anyway usually just some badges different ?

I don't know (yet?) how and where these cars were made. All I see is that when you search on the Net or in books about the Advance-Design series, you find almost exclusively information about the Chevy trucks.
Even in IMCDb, you can find a least one GMC pickup listed as a Chevrolet one :smile:

then you say Chevy or GMC ?

I just say we cannot know. And as there is no better view of that truck in the movie, we have no way to say more for now(1).

Either we accept this and find a way to note it in the id. Or we draw lots for the make and the model and take responsibility to say possible craps to the others contributors and to the visitors of IMCDb.
But if we do it for just one car, why not for any one we cannot identify? And why not for some others, depending on our mood and/or tiredness? What kind of credibility would we have, then, for the rest of our work?

Personally, as a (modest) member of it, I would prefer IMCDb crew to be honest :grin:

(1): I admit it's hoping a lot, but maybe some day one of the contributors/visitors will read an article/see a documentary about the cars and the trucks of that movie and then will be able to "de-unidentify" this truck?
Let's be optimistic :smoke:

For some movies, it's quite impossible to decide between Chevrolet vans and their GMC siblings. Should we define something about it?

This time, it is about an Advance-Design truck. Summary of the previous discussion:




Why??? As a 1947-1949 model (cf. external fuel tank), it could be a Chevrolet Thriftmaster (future 3800) or a Loadmaster (future 4100/6100) who shared the same 137" wheelbase with the GMC FC-253/FC-281/FC-301/FC-351/FC-451.
