Anyway, the Title lists the Model as: A240
Has anyone heard of this model of GMC ?
or is that just the model # given by the DMV ?
You know how the DMV can be, if thet sayso, then it is trus and accurate. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | some about the GMC serial numbers, there is a 250 model, but haven't heard of a 240 model, and the leading letter for '56 was X.... 55-59 GMC shop manualBill | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
UnknownLegend,
Might the code be A270?
Do you have a photo of the title?

It was a farm truck with a flatbed and stake sides. Maybe a type error on the seller's part also.
OR Maybe a type error on the DMV's part.
I will get a look at the Title on 2/10/15.
