This is a GMC 9800 cab-over-engine " Snubnose" tractor of 1950/1951 ( the cabin seems to be of the three window type , 1952's had five). |

These GMC heavy-duty COE models (500-Series to 900-Series) were sold as HF-Series models from 1949 to 1951 and F-Series / DF-Series from 1952 to 1959: these trucks would be later nicknamed Cannonball after the TV-Series...![]() ![]() (Excerpt of a 1950? mailer // 1956 brochure cover) I propose HF-Series as name for consistency with the HC-Series already used in the IMCDb for the conventional versions of these trucks. -- Last edit: 2015-12-20 06:21:54 |
