For Trucks Man and Ladies Only

Apart from a full set of engine function gauges period trucks offered few additional comfort and convenience features. Typical add-ons for 1945 GMC’s ran to a rear bumper bumper guards a radio and antenna heater clock cigar lighter seat covers and a spotlight. This truck does include a heater but that’s as far as passenger comfort goes. There is one other option on the truck and that’s its four-speed manual transmission. The standard transmission in ½ and ¾ ton GMC trucks was a three-speed synchromesh but the four-speed could be had for an additional $15 in 1945.

The basic cab and sheet metal – including broad new front fenders into which the headlight pods appeared to be settling – were shared with Chevrolet. But the GMC distinguished itself with a two-tiered grille made up exclusively of thick horizontal bars as opposed to the Chevy’s mix of vertical and horizontal bars. For those who still couldn’t tell the difference long plaques marked “General Motors Truck” were affixed to the hood sides. Some sources say the FC was considered the “true” 1947 model and all CC’s and EC’s were deemed to be 1946 regardless of when they were built. These were simple straight forward vehicles. “Butterfly” hoods were hinged at the center and could be opened at either side for engine servicing. Lacking door vent windows windshields still tilted out at the bottom for ventilation. Fenders and running boards came in black regardless of cab and bed color. A floor mounted lever activated the parking brake. A beam axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs served as the front suspension. Pickups came in a choice of cargo ratings and wheelbases: ½-tons on 115 and 125.25 inch chassis; ½ tons at 125.25 and one tons with a 134.5 inch stretch.
