1988 GMC 7000 Medium-Duty Flatbed Truck – Single Axle Description Up for auction is a 1988 GMC 7000 medium-duty flatbed truck, offering the heavy-duty chassis and versatility of GMC's 7000-series commercial truck platform. This truck is equipped with a flatbed body, making it a versatile platform for hauling equipment, materials, agricultural implements, machinery, building supplies and other oversized or bulky loads. The GMC 7000 was built as a true medium/heavy-duty commercial truck rather than a conventional pickup, with the platform commonly utilized in agricultural, construction, municipal, industrial and commercial applications. GMC's 1988 factory literature lists the 7000 series with substantial GVWR and GCWR capabilities and multiple heavy-duty engine and axle configurations. The single-rear-axle configuration shown in the photographs provides a relatively maneuverable package while retaining the heavy-duty chassis characteristics of the 7000 series. This truck could make an interesting addition to a farm, ranch, construction operation, equipment-hauling business, fabrication shop, or restoration project.
