Among all current reductions none has equalled this for sheer disregard of present market prices. In fact, such a price is possible only through large production at present material costs. GMC Model K-16 is every inch a truck. Its standard equipment includes Electric Lights, Electric Starter and Cord Tires. Its distinctive mechanical features include Removable Cylinder Walls, Removable Valve Lifter Assemblies, Dual Cooling System, Super-heated Carburetion, Centrifugal Fly-Ball Governor and a Special Process Connecting Rod Bearing. It also has Radius Rods, Steel Felloes, Wide and Long Springs, 16-inch Brake Drums, Interchangeable Brake Rods, Multiple Disc Dry Plate Clutch, Force Feed Engine Lubrication, and Pressure Lubricating System for all bearings. It's a REAL TRUCK. Compare it, part by part, with any one-ton truck and you will realize the unequalled value in the GMC Model K-16. Get further details from dealers, including prices on the GMC 2, 3!2 and 5-Ton Trucks all reduced.
