For most people, what comes to mind when they hear 'GMC' are sleek, heavy pickup trucks and imposing SUVs; not many know that GMC was formed for GM to establish a commercial truck division. Ask the right guy about the golden age of trucking, and he will tell you tales about big bulky GMCs dominating the segment. The 1955 GMC semi truck was part of the "Task Force" series of trucks produced by General Motors from 1955 to 1959. These trucks represented a major redesign for GM, with improved styling, comfort, and performance compared to previous models. Of course, now, this example sits as a time capsule that can be driven, embracing its age and years of service with a truly unique appearance.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior design of the 1955 GMC Semi-Truck was a significant departure from previous models, with a more modern and streamlined appearance. The front grille was larger and more prominent, featuring a horizontal bar design that extended across the entire width of the truck. The grille was flanked by two round headlights. As you can clearly tell, this example purposely wears rust exterior paint, wearing its age proudly. Sure, this appearance might not be the first choice for everyone, but if you're saying you wouldn't whip out your phone and take a picture if this truck drove past you, we can't help but question your honesty. Being the standard version, this 1955 GMC Semi Truck features only the most necessary amenities, but who cares when you have imagination? Complimenting the rust aesthetic, this example's interior is swathed with brown and white cowhide and individual cowhide seats. What's more, the semi also offers power steering, air conditioning, and heating, all the tools needed for good old fashion trucking the GMC has.
Engine
Powering this classic rust bucket is a 6.6L Duramax Diesel V8 engine mated to an Alison automatic transmission. The truck has a gooseneck hitch and electric brake control, and the current owner reports that the truck and chassis are believed to be sitting on a 2005 GMC Topkick chassis and drivetrain.
