its just that sometime suppliers dont list G30 parts so if they list G3500 i may still be able to get the part.

I do believe most parts are interchangeable but GMC parts will be slightly higher quality, not enough to notice the difference part by part but as a whole it made the GMC's better work vehicles. If you notice the better name conversion companies (starcraft / LRP) used GMC vans.

The vans came down the same assembly line but were differentiated by trim. But a guy that worked parts should be the expert. | | | Re: Is there a difference? | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,578 Likes: 2 veteran | | veteran Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,578 Likes: 2 | I stand corrected, I always heard GMC was Chevy's hi line but according to Wikipedia they ARE the same;
GMC and Chevrolet trucks are virtually identical except for the grilles and nameplates, though their differences have varied over the years.
