It is NOT a chevy, it is a 1939 GMC AC-101, short bed (1/2 ton. The origional motor was a 228. The 3/4 tons prior to 1946 had 6 lugs, but thay used a heavier wheel and had a longer wheel base. |

Look at pictures of 1939 Chevrolet trucks and 1939 GMC trucks. This truck is indeed a GMC. |

I guess it is a GMC AC-101 short bed or AC-102 long bed. http://whatareyouworkinon.com/content/1939-gmc-12-ton-pickup -- Last edit: 2012-10-05 02:32:42 |

Why is this truck still called a Chevy when it's a GMC? |

Home made stake based on a light-duty 1939-40 AC-Series. No parklamp on the fender means a 1939 only model. The ½-ton AC-100 has a 113½"/2.88 m wheelbase, the ¾-ton AC-150 a 123¾"/3.14 m one. Let's forget the 1-ton AC-250 and its 133"/3.38 m wheelbase, as it apparently has medium-duty wheel rims without hubcaps (or at least it was shown that way in the brochures). How long is this wheelbase? In doubt, ⇒ AC-Series? |

This truck is a 1939 GMC AC-100 or 150 that began life with a panel truck or Suburban body. In this comparison photo, the green truck in the middle (which happens to be a 1940 model with the park lights on the fenders) shows a factory cab with its rear profile and the profile on the back of the cab where the molding line carries around from the door side. Compare that to the red movie truck; the roof over the door and rear of the cab on that is completely different, because it was originally a panel or Suburban body as seen in the gray truck photo to the far right of the three. Notice how the style line of the door immediately above the molding, and the line immediately above the window opening, are carried straight off the back and down the side of the panel/Suburban body. On the standard cab, these lines come around and join behind the door window. One can see how the cab/door on the red movie truck was fitted with a custom made back that carried the style line above the molding around the new back along with the molding itself; and the roofline/upper rear corner is clearly a custom transition from panel/Suburban cab to new custom cab back. The upper rear corner of the panel/Suburban door has been rounded to resemble a normal cab door and match the shape of the opening in the new back that was made. One other possibility is the following: GMC (and Chevrolet) offered this chassis with only a flat cowl (front of cab only, ending at the dashboard), and also a cowl with windshield and roof nose (same, with windshield/side pillars and the first few inches of roof coming back over the windshield.). These versions were offered for a custom body builder to add their design behind. It's possible this truck was built as a cowl with windshield and roof nose, and ended up having only a cab back built on, rather than some other, more elaborate body built behind. The headlights have also been replaced with a design that is neither Chevrolet or GMC truck, the housings being much longer and streamlined. Many 1939 and earlier trucks had their headlights replaced after the sealed beam design appeared in 1940. This is the first instance I have seen though, where the housings were so dramatically different than the originals. ![[Image: 2023-06-044.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/23118/2023-06-044.jpg) -- Last edit: 2023-06-05 08:27:33 |
