I just did a couple comparisons on Kbb.com and the value all came out to the same.
I will say I like the grill on the GMC's a little better and they come standard with options like tow hooks and skid plate where the Chevy's don't on all models. If you are going with the 3500 than the only real difference will be the grill and the logo's

re: resale. Nope, no difference that I've been able to see. They book out the same, if that's any help. Miles/condition/equipment/color will be the determining factors.

GMC was gonna be GM's truck brand (first) before they bought Chevrolet from Chevrolet brother's. GMC's of the past were more different then Chevy but today there mostly the same but different front clips and different luxory models as well such as the Denali and SS.

As far as what is generally at the dealerships, GMC pickups usually have more options and are more fancy than Chevrolet pickups. That being said, you can order a Chevy with every option known to man and you can also order a GMC as a simple single cab work pickup. I would buy a GMC myself, because it looks very good (better than the Ford, Dodge or Chevy, IMO). I think that the 05 Chevy looks as good as it ever has since the HD series was introduced in 2001, but I still do not care for it. They took two UGLY designs (the 01-02 with the tall grille being the worst,IMO) and made them into a tolerable design.

I personally like the GMCs over the Chevies. There front clip looks a lot better then that godawful thing on the Chevies. Fords superduty is in my opinion is the best looking truck on the road today. Nobodies been able to match it in looks. The new GMCs front grills kind of look similar to superduties front.The folks at GM look like they agree that the superduty has the right look. There copying them.
