As as recent arrival in the GMC asylum I've Googled (well, actually
DuckDuckGo'd) everything GMC -
and found this GMC-produced advertising film from the 70's.
And apparently caret-delimited URLs are stripped from the web mirror, so here it is out in the open:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up8qwjMWCnM
It's probably old news to most of you but the air suspension
demonstration and comparison to a contemporary truck-chassis motorhome
(disguised but clearly identifiable) at 3:30 was priceless LOL funny.
I'm also an ex-Tek so the oscilloscope at 4:15 was another bit of nostalgia.
Stu
I am not including a locally generated signature to see if the web
mirror appends it to my posting. Always experimenting.

Read Bob Lutz’s book “Car Guys vs. Bean Counters” about what happens when accountants run the whole show (like at GM).
