Long 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-Davidon 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 PACKAGE WITH LOT #637.1 AND LOT #637.2**
