# 2790 From John : I was so glad to find a site that had another truck like mine. Back in October of 2009 I acquired this 1916 GMC Model 16 One Ton. The deal came about after I had listed my 1959 Ford Fairlane / Galaxie 500 on a local KIJIJI site. Although, I had owned the Ford for ten years, and it was still enjoyable, the kids no longer rode with us to cruise nights. I had always wanted an old truck (not necessarily a 1916 GMC). I initially received a lot of feedback, but all in the way of trades. I ultimately decided that I should investigate this route. The old truck is very driveable with a top speed of 20 MPH and is equipped complete with kerosene lights. I'm not very fond of the crank start (the reason the previous owner traded) and I'm currently looking for an alternative method. My family, as well as our parents, all love the truck. We have already used it in a parade as well as a wedding.
