Back in October I purchased this 1952 GMC 470 series 3 1/2 ton full air brake COE, out on the West Coast. Well I finally got it home last week, & here it is, http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2355137850052570246RTKpmB , & http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2241892430052570246yhisfZ

Nice looking trucks, all three of them Spanky, What engine and transmission does the new toy sport? That is a beauty of a grill and looks like a nice solid truck overall.

Mack, It sports a 302ci. GMC 6 cyl., 5 spd. direct drive tranny, & a Eaton elect. shift 2 spd. rear axle. It is indeed a rust free solid truck. It was originally owned by the State, or Government, in Washington State. On the doors I could barely see "Department Of Agriculture" "Forestry Division". It only has 50000 miles, & is full air brakes. You can tell it was kept inside most of the time, & barely used. It's a virtual "Time Capsule". The brake, clutch, & accelerator pedals, show no signs of wear. It even had the factory floor mat, on the passenger side, with no signs of wear on it. Happy Birthday, to ya !

Nice trucks but the green looks like it needs some donuts on the back.

Good looking truck Spanky. I also saw it on the other forums, but I didn't reply yet till this one here. I like the Air Brakes part.

What is the GVW?
