He says it was used to haul coal from a rail depot to the homestead. He bought it from an estate to save it from the crusher. He would like all the info he can get. I will probably get more info from him also and post it for sale in the near future. Most importantly, I would like to know what year it is, Scott Here's another picture

Aren't they unique to the 1941? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | Hey Scott,
That's definatly a war year truck which would be 42-45.
Very similar to my truck. The 42-45 trucks had a painted grille & the hood spears were black with white letters.
Mine is a 45, it's a 400 series truck, which is a 2&1/2 ton with the heavy channel bumper in front.
Yours looks like it might be a 300 series truck, where it has the smaller bumper.
Also, the door lock cylinder on a 41 was in the handle. 42-46 had the lock cylinder in the door, just below the handle.
It looks to be in great shape! Nice find!

You can tell the year from that, as well as where it was made. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | If die cast sides on the parking lights, longer, skinnier glass lenses, '41, however, could have been sold later. Glass lenses same as '41 Pontiac, only plastic repacements available.
'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires.
'47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle.
'54 GMC 630 w/ 503 gasser, 5 speed, ex fire truck, shortened WB 4', install 8' bed.
'55 GMC 370 w/270, 420 4 speed, grain, dump bed truck from ND. Works OK.
