GMG engineering brings you this great
new Model 470 highway tractor that hauls up
to 1,195 pounds more cargo than any other
vehicle in the 45,000 gross weight class.
Here are the reasons why. It will pay you to
study them carefully.
Sensational new engine. Model 470 is powered by
GMCs new 145 h.p. valve-in-head "302" engine-the
most powerful gasoline engine for its weight in truck
history.
Maximum power-to-weight ratio. The "302" engine
weighs as much as 500 pounds less than other engines
of comparable power, due to new high efficiency
design.
WEST-HITCHC0
677 So. 7th St.
Highest compression-7.2 to 1-excels any other
standard gasoline truck engine, accelerates faster.
Delivers full power at an casy-stroking 3,200 r.p.m.
More ton-miles per gallon less dead weight in
engine and chassis means more profit in every mile.
Highest payload capacity-upwards of one-half ton
greater than any other tractor oHhe same GCW
rating.
Priee-the biggest surprise of all. Compare the price
you have to pay for this pace-setting GMC against
the field. Nowhere else will so little buy so much in
a 3-to 4'-ton tractor.
Why not come in and see for yourself?
