A good find. Being on pneumatic tyres this one is probably a bit later than 1925 - maybe even early '30s. Truck styling didn't change as cars. GMCs of this era were powered by Buick Master Six engines.

'25 is the only one I could find with that "mushroom" grille; I'm guessing it is a '25/'26 with newer wheels.

Here's a '24 Model K on pneumatic tires: www.gmphotostore.com/images/53217901_pr.jpg

GMC model K - this was GMC's heavy truck of this period. This model used a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" four cylinder Buda engine and ran up to 1929.

Done some further reading. GMC used the K prefix for all of its trucks at this time - it is the number that matters. This is the big one the K-102 built up to 1929.
