Worn out.  Ertl combined the GMC, the interior from the MPC Chevy, and some new tooling to create the current Chevy Fleetside kit.

Sis that why the 72 GMC has not been reissued, Sir?

The GMC was reworked by adding Chevy trim (which is sharper than that on the MPC cab).  Compare chrome trees, other than the Chevy grille/bumper it's the GMC piece.  I'm guessing the best pieces of the two trucks were combined into one, to get some more use out of them.

I've got a Cooter's truck, the cab is pretty sloppy.  And there were two issues after that, so the thing was probably worn out.  It was the AMT '67 (promo and kit), MPC '68-'72 (probably a promo or two also), then a couple of stepside issues plus the Cooter's truck.
