Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this restored 1948 GMC pickup. “The forward looking collector will note that classic pickup trucks are just getting started - and there are plenty of underpublicized specimens out there” Autoweek Magazine February 2016. We scour the country for vintage cars and trucks like this and we rarely come across one like this! This is a very rare truck.
