Jack,I have the dataplate for 297528-1 delivered 6-43,but I also have the dataplate for 271912-2 delivered 10-43,so that truck is quite an early chassis number for an H1.

I want it,I want it,I want it :( :(

September 43

Your truck is delivered in the first half of september 43.
In my (read our) list of serialnumbers there is another H1 with serialnumber 276546 delivered early in september. It is just 218 trucks apart. This is a beginning of confirming that the GMC's did not come randomly on the asembly line, but in batches...

So keep sending me serialnumbers on every GMC you can find! And also other info on them, such as cab serial bodytype/serial and so on.

PS: We are having our anual MV-meeting this week-end and I do hope there will show up a few GMC's.
