There's something undeniably commanding about this 1948 GMC 1 Ton Stake Bed Dually, painted in classic green with a rugged stance that tells you it's here to get the job done. The industrial-strength presence is reinforced by the steel fenders over the rear dually setup, massive 16.5" wheels wrapped in 8.75R16.5 tires, and a real wood stake bed that adds both function and a bit of old-school work ethic. The GMC-branded front end is flanked by classic round headlights, while the chrome .....
front bumper and original-style grille keep things period-correct. Large rubber mud flaps and side mirrors painted silver round out the exterior, making it clear that this truck was built to put in the hours.
Inside, it's simple, honest, and ready for business. The brown vinyl bench seat provides the kind of durability you'd expect from a working rig of this era, matched by a gray-painted dash that holds stock gauges and a replacement left cluster for fuel, amps, oil pressure, and temp. A Bosch temperature gauge sits below for added precision. The matching maroon headliner and door panels keep things cohesive, while a black rubber mat covers the flooring. Even the original steering wheel remains in place, giving you that solid, no-nonsense grip when it's time to get to work.
Power comes from a 270 CI inline-six, paired with a three-speed manual transmission, sending torque to the Dana 60 rear axle. The single-barrel carb keeps things simple, and a newer exhaust system ensures it breathes just right. The factory leaf spring suspension setup, with newer rear leaf springs, supports the heavy-duty design, while drum brakes at all four corners give it the stopping power needed for hauling loads or just rolling down the road with confidence.
