[[ | </gallery>The '''[[Chevrolet]] Bruin''' (and similar '''[[GMC (General Motors division)|GMC]] Brigadier''') were [[heavy-duty]] [[truck]]s made by [[General Motors]] between 1978 and 1988. The Bruin & Brigadier were both conventional rigs using the 9500 series cab introduced in 1966; this cab was better-finished and more stylized than a typical big-rig cab but larger than the pickup-based cab used on the contemporary C40-C65 series. [[Diesel engine]] choices included [[Caterpillar Inc.|Caterpillar]], [[Cummins]] and [[Detroit Diesel]] powerplants. | ||

"Bruin" followed the pattern of "frontier beast" names given to heavier Chevrolet trucks such as the [[Chevrolet Bison]] (heavier) and [[Chevrolet Kodiak]] (lighter). "Brigadier" followed the pattern of "military rank" names given to GMC's heavier trucks. Unlike the [[Chevrolet Titan|Titan/Astro]] & [[Chevrolet Bison|Bison/General]], the Bruin/Brigadier found suitable replacements in the form of the [[Chevrolet Kodiak|Kodiak/Topkick]] | |||
[[ | For some reason, the GMC version was more common than the Chevrolet version. | ||
