Shorter-bed full-size pickup to be built at GM plant
May 15, 2004
Fort Wayne -- General Motors Corp. intends to make a shorter-bed full-size pickup truck as an optional model in 2005 at its assembly plant near Fort Wayne, GM spokesman Dan Flores said Friday.
The new version of the extended-cab Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra would be about 18 inches shorter than the 227.6-inch length of the present short-box, extended-cab pickup, which will remain in production.
GM has requested $30 million in tax breaks from Allen County to pay for body shop and general assembly equipment necessary for the new version, Flores said.
