Hello,
I recently came by this GMC flatbed that I am having trouble figuring out exactly what model of truck it is. I have the title and do know that it is a 57. It has the straight six (270 I believe). I think it is a 370 model from some pictures and some google searching......any help is appreciated! Fingers crossed my photobucket link works!
Thanks, Dave

first three digits of GMC engine number is the cubic inch ie. 248XXXXXX etc.

That is at least a 350. A GMC of that size should have a placard inside the glovebox door with size, engine, transmission, axle, etc.

I will look in the glove box tomorrow (it's located at my office in town).
It is missing the front grill badge/emblem, and I have located a couple, I just want to get it right.

Thanks for the comments!
