Yesterday I went to look at a '58 GMC truck that was advertised for sale about an hour away from my house. I am not real familiar with the GMC 'Bolts so I thought i would ask here. The ID plate says Max GVW 22000 and combined Max GVW 32000. I didn't notice a model designation and I forgot to take the camera with me, so I'm going by memory.
What is the difference between the two numbers?
The seller said it was bought new as a cab & chassis. It has a 14' wooden bed. The engine is a six cylinder and it has a two speed rear. It appears to be mostly original with the exception of the added oil filter...which is HUGE... It also has Hydro-Vac brakes. The engine runs... a little smoke... The brakes work. The clutch works. The wipers and heater fan work. It has the original radio, but it doesn't seem to work. The prettiest part of the whole truck is the hood bird which appears to be MINT condition.
Can anyone tell me what the model # would be?
The only number I remember seeing was on the grille "370". The seller said it was a 370 CI engine, but that seems awful big for an inline six...
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I don't know much about Big 'Bolts though I may soon own this one.
