This thread is old, but I have to bring a certain fact up;

This truck is a Mack N-Series, not a Ford C-Series:

To me it is OK.
Shall I do batch-rename or is that more a manual task?

Looking at VINs, it looks like GM did continue to ID them with C and K through 2010, and that is what Carfax or Autocheck is looking at. The 2011my is when the VINs change up.

As GMC stopped to promote the Sierra as "C/K-Something" in 1992 to use Sierra Something 2WD/4WD instead, aren't the 116 1992+ Sierra 'C-Something'¹ and the 107 1992+ Sierra 'K-Something' present in the IMCDb identified with a wrong complement?

Carfax apparently still uses the C-K nomenclature, which is weird as I didn't find any current corporate GMC document with it, the last model code more or less using it appearing to be the TC/TK-something one used by the GMT400 generation (and which should, then, appear in the model code, not as complement).


(1988 & 1991 brochures: C/K-1500)


(1992 Sierra, 1997 Commercial Truck & 1999 Sierra Classic 1500 brochures: x500 2WD/4WD)

For the record, it appears that the 1992+ Suburban never used the C/K nomenclature either, so these 8 SUVs should probably be corrected too?

1: there also 15 Topkick in the linked pages, but if I'm not mistaken, it's still impossible to make a search on both the name and the complement fields.

As no one seems to disagree with it, is it Ok to change the 46 Freightliner FS-65 Thomas / Thomas Built / Thomas Saf-T-Liner Conventional to Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner FS-65 (without '(with) Freightliner chassis' complement nor [FS-65] model code, which would be redundant)?

Change to Hyundai Grace:

Mitsubishi L300 Versa Van:

I would agree with that

One vehicle, 2 names:
• Freightliner FS-65
 more precisely:
  ∗ 8 Freightliner FS-65 Thomas;
  ∗ 37 Freightliner FS-65 Thomas Built;
  ∗ 1 Freightliner FS-65 Thomas Saf-T-Liner Conventional;
 There are also
  ∗ 5 Freightliner FS-65 "only", which should be checked by someone to see if with a Thomas body (bus bodies are a little bit off my line of expertise);
  ∗ 4 FS-65 with a Bluebird body, 1 with a Carpenter body and 1 with a Corbeil body, but these 6 buses are not part of the "Freightliner or Thomas" issue and should clearly stay unchanged.

• Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner FS-65
(15 bus identified that way)

Which name should be kept?

If the following detail may help:
- a Freightliner FS-65 is not a complete vehicle, it's just a bus chassis without body;
- the chassis was developed by Freightliner in partnership with Thomas Built;
- when unveiled in June 1996 it had a Thomas body;
- the two first buses that were sold, in January 1997, had a Thomas body;
- if available along with Bluebird, Carpenter and Corbeil bodies from 1997 onwards, the Thomas one remained the last one to be proposed from 2002 until the end of 2006...

Shouldn't we use the Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner FS-65 ID for all buses clearly identified as Thomas versions, and keep the Freightliner FS-65 one only for the non-Thomas bodies, the same way it's done for other bus chassis?

Thanks! I also changed the 1977 MY to 1975, here, as no detail was given to explain that specific MY...

Please don’t change the Econoline. I spent A LOT of time fixing the years. If you have an issue please defer to me ...

Edit: the name change occurred 1999. Official brochures say econoline up to early 2000s. However, we use 1999 as the first year for E-Series name.
