Matchbox Superfast MB26-c GMC Tipper Truck

The 26 GMC joined the Superfast range packed in a ´G´ box but it stayed for less than 2 years without any official changes to its colours. However the red cab can be found in 2 distinct shades, deep red and orange red.
Ordinary thick 4 spoke truck tyres are standard on this casting although a tiny hard to find proportion of production did have the thick Spiro pattern hubs best known from the 19 Lotus F1 and 30 Beach Buggy.
The tooling produced at least 2 copies of each component per operation so there are minor differences to the lettering spacing on the baseplates, with or without no 26 cast inside the gas tank and a number 1 or 2 cast on the tipper underside.
This model has also been reported to have been issued with an unpainted tipper bed and tailgate but as this would be an error piece it has not been added to the variation table.
The GMC was rather a dull model which only was only in production for three years including the regular wheel era as well as the superfast issues but it seems to be readily available so it must have been a popular model in its day,
However prices tend to reflect it's lack of desirability so can be bought quite cheaply today.
