IN these uncertain days it’s wise to buy a rugged truck
that can roll with the punches for years to come. Big
fleet operators who keep careful check on all makes of
trucks tell us that GMC’s are consistent standouts for long
life with minimum maintenance.
That goes for all GMC’s from j^-ton models up. Many
GMG Diesel truck-tractors arc still highballing loads
with more than a million miles of over-the-road service
behind them.
The reason is—every GMG is all truck! Every GMG is
designed by-truck engineers for truck service with 100%
truck-built parts. \bu get a real truck engine with high
horsepower and higher sustained torque—more pull—an
engine that delivers full power without
eating its heart out!
There are many other extra-value reasons
why a GMG is your best buy for the long
haul. We’ll be glad to give you proof!
