The reason I suggest Pontiac is that I think the 1927-29 Pontiac trucks were sold as GMCs but there has been discussion on the Canadian poncho Forum about whether they were badged as Pontiacs or not. My Branham's Guide should say if I can find it.

The fenders look different on the '29 and the others years on up ..I suspect the fenders may be from a later model but the rest is definitely Pontiac..Probably that mixed breed is a basic '29 Pontiac..
I don't think it was the 1929 GMC T-19 1-ton..The cowling..curved lower window frame and grill are wrong..It is definitely Pontiac..
