The plant, on Van Slyke Road, was built shortly after the end of World War II and was split between Fisher Body and Chevrolet . The Fisher operations were halted on June 24 , 1970 , with the entire factory turned over to Chevrolet. For much of the 1970s , Flint was home to the large Chevrolet K5 Blazer and Chevrolet Suburban , with pickup truck production moved to Pontiac Assembly in Pontiac, Michigan in May of 1987 . On August 31 , 1991 , production of the large SUV s was moved to Janesville Assembly in Wisconsin , with the new full-size Van taking their place at Flint for 1992 . All laid-off workers returned to the plant on August 10 , 1992 as production began. The full-size van was moved to Wentzville Assembly in Missouri in July, 1996 , but a new product, the GMT480 , began at Flint the previous year. The large commercial General Motors C/K Trucks trucks began production in 1997 . The factory's current product, the GMT800 -based trucks, began in August of 2000 . EXTERNAL LINK |
