1957 Gmc 250 automatc V8
I came across a 1957 GMC 250 dual rear wheel truck with a 347 pontiac and a hydromatic automatic trans cheap and its restorable. I haven't found much info on the 250, just the 100 and the 300 serise. It looks just like the 1 tons with the big back window and directionals an top of the fenders. wondering if anyone knows about how rare these are, from what I can figure these were the first autos produced in the GMC. any help or info would be great. Thanks Joe

I believe that the 55 GMC 2nd series was the first to offer the hydramatic automatic trans. I really can't help you on the 250 model info. I would say that they are rare, so it sounds like you got yourself a good find!

Most of the Commercial size rigs have been crushed long ago... so they are a rarity today but not years ago. In the 50's to 70's they were the workhorses of America!
Keep it, rebuild it - most of the cab parts are the same... And the engine parts are still available - other parts can be located if you have patience. My 2 cents worth, rico_bob Rico's Rods & Relics ~ "Treasure the Ride in Pride" www.ricos-rods-and-relics.com Classic Trucks and Muscle Cars

COE 1957 Grain Hauler
In thinking of your truck... Is it by chance a "COE" (Cab Over Engine)? Like this photo here? For Sale for $2500.00.
