Vehicle Detail
Up for sale is my AC101 GMC panel delivery truck. I have searched and searched for similar trucks and have only come up with Chevys. Reaching out to the GM archives they also said that these trucks are few and far between. For its age it is in very good shape. There is some rot here and there, but a great truck. The truck runs and drives great with the original powertrain, rebuilt by previous owner. All of the hard to find parts and there and in good shape. Along with the sale I will include an additional rare set of rear fenders.The chassis, leafs, shackels are in great shape as well. The original wood inside is in great shape. Will also include a brand new set of bed rails. You will not be dissapointed with the HARD TO FIND truck. Hot Rod, Rat Rod, etc.This truck gets constant looks and questions. I have a clean and clear transferable 1938 GMC registration. The truck was originally sold in 1938. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Light-duty GMC trucks now bore an even closer resemblance to their corporate cousins from Chevrolet Division. Distinguishing features between the two makes are more massive grille bars on the GMC, and the prominent General Motors Truck nameplates on the hood sides. The GMC script can also be found on the speedometer and tailgate. Beginning in 1939 GMC light-duty trucks used an ohv six-cylinder engine of 228 ci displacement While similar to Chevrolet's ohv six, the GMC engine was larger in both bore and stroke and had full-pressure oiling with insert bearings. For this reason, the oil-pressure gauge on the GMC dash has a maximum reading of 60 lb., versus 30 lb. on the Chevy oil-pressure gauge. This variance in gauges continued until the introduction of Chevy's high-pressure oiling 235 ci six in 1954. Since the GMC oil gauges will fit in the Chevy dash, it makes a good swap into a Chevrolet pickup that has had its splash oiler 216 replaced with a full-pressure 235 engine. Since the GMC engine was longer than the Chevrolet 216, GMC trucks used a different radiator, moved forward. The headlights are also moved ahead on the radiator core support. GMC did not offer passenger-car-based light-duty models; otherwise GMC's light-duty truck model line-up closely matched Chevrolet's. Wheelbase lengths and all other mechanical components were shared with Chevrolet. Improvements in 1940 GMC trucks paralleled those at Chevrolet, namely sealed-beam headlights, a new instrument panel and fender-mounted parking lights. Except for a larger output generator, mechanicals remained the same as for 1939.Previous buyer backed out, the truck is back up for sale. Please do not bid if you do not have the funds.
