The main difference is the 1300 was assembled in Canada.

hey what's up?? welcome to the garage grin

check this tech tip and get the restoration pack from GM Canada for the VIN number of your truck which will tell you a lot of stuff

also Scotts Super Trucks in Alberta has the decoding info in the back of their paper catalog

Now if your into cars then the Nova in the U.S. is called a canso in Canada and the chevelle is called a beumont in Canada. Excuse the spelling. Weird huh? Both cars had little styling differences front and rear but used pretty much the same body panels and some interior parts.

Canso? Sounds like a response to the old story about why Novas didn't sell well in Mexico. "No va" in Spanish means "no go".
