Vehicle Description
One of only 855 built. This 1942 GMC Series CC-150 3/4-ton pickup
is an excellent, seldom-seen example of one of the most iconic
American pickup trucks ever produced. The United States entered
World War II in late 1941, and on January 1, 1942, all new sales of
automobiles to the general public ceased. Production continued
until February 1942; however, those vehicles were conscripted by
the U.S. Government for military use. These low production numbers
make this GMC pickup an unusual piece of American history. This
truck was completely restored a few years back and was done very
nicely. However, after learning exactly how special this truck is,
the decision was made to do a higher-level restoration, which was
just completed. During the first restoration, the body was brought
down to bare metal and was finished to a very high standard. It
only needed light detailing. With that said, the body was taken off
the frame and every nut and bolt was addressed, including the
removal of the drivetrain. The exterior correct colors of green and
black are very attractive. The bold chrome grille is brilliant, and
a rear chrome bumper was added to enhance the appearance. Side
steps were also added to the running boards. A new pickup bed with
wood flooring and wood side rails with Harley-Davidson signs were
added. The truck sits perfectly on 15" wheels with brand-new
Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. The restored correct
brown interior complements the exterior colors very nicely. The
headliner and door panels were replaced. The bench seat received
all new upholstery along with seatbelts, which were not an option
when the truck was new. The lights, gauges and windshield wiper are
in working order. The engine compartment is highly detailed and
home to the original rebuilt 228 inline 6-cylinder that is rated at
90hp. The electrical system was converted from 6 to 12 volts for
easier operation. The engine starts and runs great, and is coupled
to the rebuilt 3-speed manual transmission with new clutch. The
undercarriage is also highly detailed and mirror-quality. This
truck has recently been completely serviced and detailed. A custom
hitch was installed for towing and fits excellent. Included with
the sale of this truck is a 1942 Harley-Davidson 42WLA motorcycle
and custom trailer. Both were fully restored and to match this
truck. The combination of the truck, motorcycle and trailer draws a
lot of attention. From the MS Classic Cars Collection. **SOLD AS A
