In case you wanted an El Camino but just couldn’t abide Chevrolet emblems, GMC offered the essentially identical Sprint and Caballero.

With a touch of sarcasm, the legendary racer Smokey Yunick—a GMC truck dealer himself for many years—once wrote that GMC was the only vehicle with two complete teams of engineers: Chevrolet designed the trucks, and GMC designed the hub caps and ash trays. While his salty observation wasn’t technically accurate or literally true, necessarily, he did have a point. Many GMC light vehicles were unequivocal Chevrolet clones, differing only in the names on the trim pieces.
