JET STREAM VENTILATION Driver comfort is assured by constant streams of outside air—even in wet weather. The high, grilled intake, just below the windshield, directs air into a plenum chamber. There water, if any, is separated and drained off through floor of plenum chamber before air is ⟦dis⟧tributed through louvered outlets to each side of cab. Road Shock Damper, standard on suburban, optional at extra cost on all other 1/2-ton models. Another GMC first—brings remarkable driving comfort and steering stability to the light-truck field. Greater safety and driving ease result from the smoothing out of road shocks and jolts encountered on "wash-board" roads or any such uneven surfaces. Its principle of operation induce the front wheels to follow the contour of the road surface giving the driver positive control of the vehicle even under the most adverse conditions.

SERIES 100 "PERFORMANCE PACKED" Power-Trains Engineered for Team-Work Engine to Axle GMC 347 V-8 Engine for Power Plus Performance. 206 H.P. 7.8 to 1 Compression Ratio GMC 270 6-Cylinder Engine 130 H.P. 7.75 to 1 Compression Ratio Oil-bath air cleaner optional at extra cost GMC's 4-Speed Dual-Range Truck Hydra-matic Drive, optional at extra cost, provides smoother performance—saves operating costs—maintenance costs are substantially reduced—"clutching" is gone forever. Hydra-matic's fluid coupling and automatic gear selection protects engine, drive-line and rear axle from unnecessary strain and abuse caused by improper gear shifting and power application. With Hydra-matic drive your truck is always in the proper and economical gear for any load or road condition. GMC offers for your selection two powerful engines that may be combined with Hydra-matic drive or with 3 or 4-speed synchromesh transmissions to provide a power-train to meet your exact needs. Each combination of engine, transmission and axle is completely engineered and tested by GMC—No units are "borrowed" from another model but are designed and manufactured for their specific requirements. GMC BLUE CHIP QUALITY FEATURES ★ High-powered, high-compression 6 and 8 cylinder engines. ★ 12-volt electric system. ★ Hydra-matic and synchromesh transmissions. ★ Tubeless tires. ★ Comfort-ride springs. ★ Truck-built chassis. ★ Short turning radius. ★ Low loading and step heights. Series 100 The Famous Three-Speed Synchromesh Transmission, pioneered for trucks by GMC. ⟦line⟧ features constant mesh helical gears synchronized in second and third speeds. The synchromesh principle assures quiet operation and easy clashless shifting without the necessity of "double-clutching." Convenient finger-tip gear shift is mounted on the steering column. Series 100-8 Four-Speed Synchromesh Transmission, optional at extra cost, is designed for extra-heavy-duty operations requiring maximum gear reductions and increased dura- bility. Features are constant mesh helical gears synchronized in second, third and fourth speeds; ball-and-roller-bearing mounted countershaft and a sediment chamber for protec- tion of bearings and other highly finished parts. Single Reduction, Semi-Floating Rear Axle, features Hotchkiss drive with open-type propeller shaft. This hypoid-geared axle provides much greater tooth contact between pinion and ring gear which, together with large diameter anti-friction bearings used to mount the pinion shaft and differential assure correct gear align- ment and quiet operation under all load conditions. Large diameter axle shafts complete this rugged unit for an extra margin of safety, long life and dependability.
