Hot Rods Has anyone ever seen one?

I'm going to look at this truck this weekend...I wasn't aware GMC made trucks pre 1935!?
Is this a rare unit?

You should be able to get some good info on it here -

http://www.oldgmctrucks.com/

 

The earliest GMC on that site is a 1930. Guess I'll go look at it, and check it out.

 

That's a strange looking bird right there

This is the first time I've seen one of those.

 

I had a recollection that GMC trucks dated back to the WW1 era. A quick search turned up the info that the first GMC trucks were sold in 1912 and 1913. But, they were made by a General Motors division that had been founded by the Grabowski brothers in 1902 . No it was not called Henway, but Rapid.

 

That is an adapted cab of some sort,,,,

 

According to the info I found on Google (http://jalopnik.com/5968173/111-years-of-hauling-a-gmc-truck-history/), GMC traces their roots back to 1902 and the first truck bearing the GMC name was first used on a truck in 1912.

 

But were they built by Norm Grabowski's grandpa?

 

I guess you will also be looking at his 1926 Durrant Coupe, It also looks pretty cool. Good Luck !!!!!! Larry
