Of what they called in ads "Heavy Duty" range, which seems was not avaiable before 1931. Wild guess - T95?

 @ Weasel1984:
T-Series for sure, as the new version of this truck line appeared in 1927. According to Donald E. Meyer in A Brief Outline of the First Century of GMC Truck History:
Quote 1931:
8 new “T” series models were added including more tandem rear axle units:
T-26, T-51, T-61, T-85, T-95 and T-96. T-95 was a 6x4 and T-96 was a 6x2 with a non-driving trailing “tag” axle. GVWRs ranged from 5,400 to 34,000 lbs.
[...] Late in the year super heavy duty models T-110 (4x2, 38,000 lbs. GVWR) and T-130 (6x4, 50,000 lbs. GVWR) were added. These trucks were designed for off-road construction and mining service and were powered by 150 hp 616 cid “Super Duty” engines. Several T-130 dump trucks were used by the Tennessee Valley Authority to build dams.


The truck in this documentary looks like a 1931+ (super) heavy-duty indeed, but I think that as 6x4 dump truck, it's more likely a T-130. All the more as the second truck has T.V.A. (for Tennessee Valley Authority?) written on the doors...

The 4th thumbnail shows wat seems to be the windshield of a different truck.

 Perhaps it was the same truck only door lettering was for some reasons covered in main shot. However the interior is of different vehicle indeed :/
BTW - nice document this linked .pdf :)
