Maybe the same as: GMC/Chevrolet? Mirror looks like an anachronism. -- Last edit: 2012-02-20 17:57:35 (vilero) |

1947-50, then. Cf. "1947 2nd-Series" passage in the GMC truck history (Pdf - p. 20). With a picture of the right side of the cab (a little more closer than the 3rd pic of vilero ), it would be possible to say if it is a 49+ model, with the gas tank filler behind the passenger seat (or in the chassis, for 1947-48 models)... ⇒ 1947 GMC Pickup |

Just Pickup ? There is no equivalent name to Chevrolet's Advance-Design name? edit: it was renamed to "New Design" following the new names given on the forum -- Last edit: 2014-10-14 19:02:13 |

Thanks for the "New Design" name. I think we can trust Tim Lederman when he calls these trucks that way, due to the huge amount of work he did on the 1947-55 GM trucks. Given the 1947-50 possible MY, and if I understand the technical data sheets and the 1950 brochure, 1947-50 pickups were FC-101 (116" -2.95 m- wheelbase, ½-ton payload), FC-102 or FC-152 (125.25" -3.18 m- wb, 1st ½-ton, 2nd ¾-ton payload) or FC-253 (137" -3.48 m- wb, 1-ton payload) models. It was certainly too easy, these numbers changed in 1951. And in 1954 again So my guess (no irrefutable clue for it), with what can be seen in 3rd thumb of vilero and seems to be a very long bed, is that this pickup is a 137"/3.48 m wb FC-250 one, which means a [FC-253] chassis code. But how to be sure of an only 12" / 30 cm difference in the wheelbase with such a view? ⇒ 1947 GMC New Design FC-250 [FC-253]? or, if unsure of the length: ⇒ 1947 GMC New Design -- Last edit: 2014-10-17 01:12:16 |

Some years later... 1947-48 grille. The model codes changed in 1951, so FC-253 is the good one. |
