The GMC New Design trucks, sold from late 1947 to early 1955, were the brand's first major postwar redesign. Sharing their cab and basic structure with the Chevrolet Advance Design, GMC positioned its trucks as tougher, professional-grade vehicles. They often featured brand-specific inline-6 engines and distinct grille treatments, reinforcing their role as the workhorse of the General Motors lineup.
Today, collectors appreciate the New Design's iconic rounded styling and simple, rugged mechanicals. These trucks are a popular foundation for a wide range of builds, from period-correct restorations to modern restomods with V8 power and upgraded suspensions. A massive aftermarket support network makes parts easy to find, which contributes to their continued popularity.
The market for these GMCs is very active, with an average sale price near $30,000. The wide price spread reflects the vast difference between untouched barn finds and professionally built show trucks. Well-executed restomods and meticulously restored stock examples consistently bring the highest values.
Prices range from $1,100 for project vehicles to $85,000 for top-tier restorations and custom builds.
