 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.

The Chevrolet engineers did the GMC touches, too. There was no GMC engineering at all; only marketing. RPO Z88 = GMC nameplate conversion RPO X88 = Chevrolet nameplate conversion RPO Z75 = Cadillac nameplate conversion K
