Were they Blazers?
In 1969, they made a Chevy and GMC K5. Was the GMC officially called a Jimmy until '73, cuz I personally have never seen that emblem on an original truck... Dinnut and I are kinda amiss on this one.

notice how gmc trucks are refered to by many parts catalogs as c15 or c25 rather than the c10 and c20

Blazer- '69-'72
Jimmy- '70-'72 The Jimmy's had a fender emblem like other GMC trucks, but they said "Jimmy" in the box under the GMC letters, instead of "2500 V-Eight" or "1500 Custom," or whatever it may say in there. I have also noticed that the GMC's are lettered differently. A Chevrolet 3/4 ton 4x4 is a K/20, and a GMC is a K/2500. I guess GMC was just ahead of their time.
