Hi everyone. New to the website but it won't take long and you'll get tired of me asking questions. I'm a new 1951 barn find GMC 100 owner. I would like to learn the history of this vintage truck since I've been a lifelong muscle car guy. Yeah, I know, I'm changing my major!!
Any suggestions on publications, sites and the like. thanks

check the links section here, lots of the vendors have informative books - and take a look around http://www.oldgmctrucks.com/ where they also have a forum specifically for GMCs

As Bill suggested, Rob English's oldGMCtrucks.com website has a wealth of information. You might also want to consider joining the the oldGMCtrucks.com discussion boards.

If you are interested in reading a history of GMC trucks, GMC: The First 100 Years. It has mistakes in it but it is a good historical run-through.

Most likely, you'll want to obtain GMC Maintenance Manual.

There is a "Book Store" forum on the oldGMCtrucks discussion board. One member has put together a nice CD-ROM library of useful manuals.
