1965 GMC 2500

Design remained the same from previous years on the ’65 GMC although a new van was introduced, the 90 in. wheelbase Handi-Bus. Of the models available, there was a choice of five different boxes offered in 6, 8 or 9 foot sizes. However, the 9-foot box was only available on the 2500 series.   Also available was a chrome grille and bumper which came with the "Custom" cab trucks. Otherwise grille's were painted Ivory on all trucks except those that were white, in which case the grille was white as well.The '65 GMC could be distinguished by the lettering on the grille which is displayed as an oval-shaped G and C. By 1966 the change was made to more square shaped letters with a red stripe.
