What Makes Your Truck Unique? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My dad purchased this truck in the early 70's and it's only one of 2697 GMC short box trucks including step sides (documented) built in Canada in 1959.

In addition to that, only in Canada in 1959 did GMC offer the bed side stainless (documented).

I'd say it's very rare! I've never seen another '59 GMC Wideside Short box with the bedside stainless... ever in the past 43 years.

He's passed it along to me now and is helping out a bunch with the rebuild to it's original Omaha Orange and Bombay Ivory two tone.
