those GMCs did what chevy didn't until 55:  they made a long half ton.  the 
EC 102 is still a half ton. It has to be a 150 before it is a 3/4 ton.

Hi Randy,
"Art Deco" Chevrolets are my thing but the GMC are closely related.  Here's
what I know about your buddies truck:

EC-102 is considered a 3/4 ton has a 125-3/4" wheelbase (The EC-101s ((half
ton)) had a 115" wb).
The engine was the 228 cid.  Serial numbers went to 8084 in the model year
1946.  There's a '46 (actually a '47 first series) GMC Suburban on
www.jps.net/haist/artdeco.htm  / PHOTOGRAPHS if you want to see one in all
its original Art Deco splendor.
