Thanks, Dennis, for showing us this beautiful '37 GMC truck. That is the perfect mobile billboard for a GMC Truck Dealer that was founded in 1937. It's especially neat that the restoration is old. That classic styling never get out of date.God Bless and stay safe.
I saw this truck done in a crew cab. What a cool truck. The first job I had was at a gas station in 1969. Their shop truck was a 1951 International. It had the longest dang bed I’ve ever seen. Must’ve been 9 1/2 feet. Along with the horn at the center of the steering wheel was this 3 button deal mounted on the dash. You could play Mary Had A Little Lamb! I used to drive it home when I got off at 11pm I’d come down my street slow playing Mary had a Little Lamb. The neighbors didn’t mind they thought it was funny.I started at 7am back then too. No, I didn’t play the horns in the morning. 😁
Been watching Dennis since the old My Classic Car tv days on TNN. I think it was the late 90’s? Never gets old. Love seeing Dennis honoring the timeless classics.
Thanks Dennis! Used to be a weekend tradition with my dad when I was a kid. Get up and watch the car show block on TNN. I think it was MCC, Shadetree Mechanic, Hot Rod TV and Trucks. Now all these years later, still enjoying it. Luckily there’s plenty of classic vehicles to check out to cover all this time.
The 1937 US made GMC ½ tons used a flat head six cylinder engine from an Oldsmobile and in 1938 a flat head from Pontiac. These automobile engines were dependable with a proven record. This saved the egos of the US GMC dealers from trying to explain to customers why these “high-end” pickups were using the competitor’s engine. In the US, the first year for the GMC ½ ton was 1936. They were all the longer 125 inch wheel base. The following year the GMC pickup was introduced in Canada and were made in the GM assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario Canada. Just like GMC in the US in 1937, Canada offered a short wheel base 112” and optional long bed 125” wheel base. The Canadian Pontiac dealers were given this pickup to market alongside their car line. Unlike the US, there were no stand-alone dealerships for these new GMC pickups! The long awaited introduction of the 216 six cylinder overhead valve engine was in 1937. It was used in Chevrolet cars and trucks in Canada and the US. This engine was quite successful for the existing roads in both countries. It was used in production Chevrolet vehicles 16 years.
Ok , thanks DENNIS and Chuck, Owner of 37:GMC .. THAT IS A nice piece of History, and Truck( interestingly my **2007 GMC CANYON ,heavily optioned ( NOT FANCY PACKAGES/ but towing,etc ) , 4 Cyl /SL is really nice, BUT not nearly the **chutzpah of **1937:rebuild ... !!! ACTUALLY, I would probably miss my A/C, Cruise, and load/ towing, and general ride comforts......Massive improvements in technology’s.....
He got lucky it wasn't in worst shape, most(not all) museum cars "restoration" is skin deep and way worse then just some bondo on the oil pan, Kind of wanna know if he replaced the looms inside. Good example of skin deep restoration or untouched would be Hoovies Garage 1951 Ford Country Squire. He got it from a museum and at first glance its perfect, did a little deeper and find it still had the old 1951 fabric wrapped wiring. I gotta say that ford flathead still ran. Can't wait to see that project get done, hes putting old school hotrod mods to the flathead also
What a dumb comment/question! If you are asking if I wear a mask to do my part to stem the spread of the Covid pandemic like any patriotic American should, then the answer is yes. Get real dude!
"farm tractor with a cab on it"... priceless!!..vintage trucks never go out of style. Thx Dennis for showing us👍
Your video every weekend have become one of my favorite rituals with my coffee. You always find the most awesome rides out there.
Thanks!
Watching these videos is practically a Saturday morning ritual for me.
Glad to hear it!

"Cool truck, Chuck." :-) The colour scheme is great. I love old pickups.
This guy has a really good voice.
- and awful 'foot-wear'... ;o)
You think? I found it irritating.
That is beautiful.
Beautiful truck and I would add vintage air and a portable JBL speaker in that truck for creature comfort.
A very nice Truck. I am glad that it has been restored and preserved. Thanks for posting.
Wouldn't it be neat if they'd make new trucks like this style.
I wish cars would go through another retrofuturstic phase again
Another fun outing, Oh Mustachioed One! Very few of these trucks around because back then people USED them as trucks LOL !
So nice. Dream truck.
Wow, that is an awesome piece of work. A masterpiece! 🧨🧨

Thanks man! The show first aired on TNN back in Jan 1996 and I still really enjoy doing it. Sure beats working for a living!😎

@@MyClassicCarTV I watched you every week too man... I got a VHS capture here of a 6 Pack SuperBee from TNN!
I believe it’s a Pontiac engine rather than an Oldsmobile engine, but I may be wrong. Beautiful, simply beautiful!

Great video
Nice! (Dennis with the best job in motor sports!).
Totally!!
Bondo as a patch on the oil pan? Makes me question the rest of the truck. Good old shade tree mechanic.
They probably used the Bondo with the thought that it would never be really driven again.
Interestingly, does make one concerned: with those responsible, thouhg could be another substance ( COLDWELD,ETC)...
Gorgeous!

Camera doesn’t do it justice,
I have a 1937 GMC pickup and they look way better in person
I also have one and you are so correct
Nice video amigo 😀👍
Awesome truck
He sounds like Billy Gibbons👍
The DUDE !
Any crank starter vehicle is always impossible to find
Egads the gas tank is under the seat 😣😳 no smoking or farting allowed 😆
The owner seems like the kind of guy who has 3 drinks at 3pm.
At the local strip club.
Ask him what time it is and he'll say it's Beer thirty 😂
the guy has a southern accent...where is he from?
Sweden
Class: Pick-up
Orgin: USA
Nice pickup, but a grown man wearing a doo rag & crocs in public.......??????
Can you even wear a china mask with those handlebars
