But then Buick or Olds, or Pontiac dealers would have had to sell Chevys. GMC is your "across the board" truck so that Caddy and Buick dealers could sell trucks too without having to be a Chevy dealer. At least this was what I was told long ago.

Maybe now with lesser amounts of brands it may not matter, but back then it certainly made a difference.

But if you drop GMC, then get the ugly off the Silverado and make it LOOK like a GMC, and I'd buy it. Either truck would be pretty much functionally the same, but the GMC looks better IMO.
