Used 1948 GMC 100 for sale in Morgantown, PA

1948 GMC 100 5-Window Pickup GMC traces its history to the 1902 founding of the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company in Pontiac, Michigan. In 1909 William C.

During the Second World War, GMC Trucks produced 600,000 trucks for use by the United States Armed Forces.
