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.
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.
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.

The Chevrolet C/K Series of pickup trucks was introduced in 1960, and is the sister of the GMC C/K Series. General Motors knew that by sharing platforms, engines and other mechanical componentry across brands, they could realize synergies and enhanced economies of scale. This is seen today, with the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra duo. Here, we have a 1970 GMC C2500 Fleetside which comes from the second generation of the Chevy/GMC C/K-Series line-up. This era ran between 1967 and 1972, with the trucks assembled in a variety of places across the country. This particular truck comes from Hemingford, Nebraska and is a two-wheel drive variant, denoted by its C moniker. Furthermore, its 2500 designation tells us that it’s a ¾-ton truck. If you’re on the lookout for a classic American truck with some capability but in great condition for showing off as well, this is the ideal candidate to pick.
The GMT400-generation GMC Sierra is remembered for its durability, clean styling, and capability, offering a blend of workhorse toughness and daily comfort. This 1995 GMC Sierra 1500 SL, finished in Dark Garnet Red Metallic over a burgundy interior, is powered by a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 with throttle-body injection, paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission and selectable four-wheel drive. Showing 117,297 miles, it comes equipped with a Convenience Package, power features, and a sliding glass sunroof, making it both practical and comfortable while retaining the charm of a mid-1990s American pickup.
GMC and Chevy have been making pickup trucks together for ages. In fact, this stretches way back to the Chevy Task Force series and beyond. When the popular Chevy C/K series debuted in 1960, naturally, GMC would get its own variants. The GMC 1000 was the half-ton variant, equivalent to a Chevy C10 or K10. In terms of mechanicals and styling, the models were basically indistinguishable except for badging, unlike today, where the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra have some visual differences. However, this 1966 GMC 1000 Fleetside is definitely a stand-out sort, because it’s a restomod. Packing a potent engine and some neat creature comforts, you could be the next lucky owner of this beauty. But you’d better act fast!
This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.
The OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!
Today, RAM is a stand-alone brand of pickup trucks and well-known for its versatile array of tough, capable and yes, luxurious offerings in the full-size, medium-duty and heavy-duty segments. But before 2010, RAM was merely a model under the Dodge hierarchy, and the trucks were known as the Dodge Ram. That’s what we have here, a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 LT for sale from Baytown, Texas. This is a second-generation Dodge RAM and it’s done 154,788 miles so far. With its Cummins turbodiesel six, manual gearbox and replaced interior, it’s the ideal truck for someone looking for a decent workhorse, as well as a person who wants something a little different from the Nineties. Contact us if you fit the bill.
