GENERAL MOTORS CORP expects to generate higher profit margins from its new full-size pickup trucks, and build more trucks this year than last year, the Wall Street Journal Interactive edition said Monday. General Motors expects the new trucks to command profit margins two percentage points above those on the old models, a GM spokesman, Mark Tanner told securities analysts at a meeting at GM's Truck Centre in Pontiac, Mich. on Friday, the Journal reported. Tanner, however, would not comment on specific earnings projections or give a precise margin figure, the paper said. At the meeting, GM also said it expects to build about 250,000 more full-size pickups this year than the roughly 725,000 it made in 1998, when the strike slowed production, the paper reported.
