Mexico is metric also. What I hate is trying to work on one that is part metric and part SAE. At least I can still work on the older vehicles, the newer ones have too much computer crap.
Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

Seems the tool box now is US standard , Metric , and British Standard - Whitworth , so a real mix and sometimes choice , when one has items build from around the world it gets confusing . Then it seems many US products now come in several different mixes . 
My later Nortons as a mix of all 3 it seems and some are US and English 
Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

You don't say what year but that has been a long time of things being what ever size was handy. I think from 73 on when GM came with the square body style. But now Confused I cannot remember if there is metric on my 75. I can say for sure by 81 you needed both sets of wrenches.

I too would be ok with the metric as long as it was a all or nothing.
