This era of post-war pickups can claim to be host to some of the most beautiful yet utilitarian designs of our time, and the 1950 GMC FC101 is no exception. Following the course set by Chevrolet, GMC’s pickup offering followed a clean design with a rounded bonnet and fenders, a prominent grille, and fender-mounted headlights. It was also a time that saw consumers gravitate towards more car-like features, including improved comfort and visibility. GMC responded by increasing the size of the door apertures, increasing legroom, and adding a larger glasshouse, However, ruggedness and dependability were still the names of the game in the pickup segment, and the GMC FC101 delivered in spades. Our featured car has reportedly been owned by the present keeper for the last six years.
Exterior and Interior
Many consider the 1950 GMC FC101 to sport a cleaner design than its contemporary Chevrolet 3100 competitor, and that’s certainly displayed best in our featured vehicle. With an old-style GMC logo up front, a clean grille design, a two-piece windscreen, and a single external rear-view mirror, the GMC FC101 perfectly embodies the design language of the ’50s. This classic pickup rides on 16-inch steel wheels with polished lips and black centers. Inside the FC101, you’ll find a refreshingly utilitarian interior that doesn’t feature the modern conveniences of air conditioning or power steering. What it does feature, though, is a new interior that has been redone in green to match the exterior color. The cabin is also home to a aftermarket radio with MP3 functionality. You’ll find gauges for the car’s fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and water temperature, as well as a large cream-backed dial for the speedometer that reads up to 80 mph.
Engine
Under the hood is a straight-six 228ci engine, factory rated for 96 hp. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a floor-mounted four-speed gearbox, allowing greater flexibility and control over the driving experience. All four brakes feature drums, while the steering is reportedly unassisted.
