I'm looking at an Advance-Design era GMC 300 series, with duallies on the back. I'm not as familiar with GMC numbers as Chevy. Is this a 1-ton? Ton-and-a-half? Anyone know the wheelbase or LOA?

BTW, for old timers - I'm back. I was active several years ago; sold the truck. Went quiet. Now I'm shopping again.

A GMC 1-ton is a 250.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

Hmmm. Sounds like this one is a 1-1/2 tone then. 300 is more than 250.

Anyone own one? Comments? Things to look out for?

George,

1947-1955 GMC trucks were called New Design trucks.

The 300 series GMC trucks are 1.5 ton trucks. As Cletis suggests, you might want to check out the oldGMCtrucks.com website and join the forum/discussion-board.
