Re: 1954 GMC 5 window

Nice looking truck. Most of the add on items except those that were part of the "Deluxe" trim package were dealer options that were sold and added on when the truck was sold or some times added to the truck by the dealer before it hit the showroom. My dad used to say that in the late 40's and early 50's the dealers made more profit selling the dealer add on items that they stuck on the cars and trucks than they did from selling the car. or truck.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
