There's a red 'Advance Design' GMC cabover parked next to a ranch house along the Sierra Hwy east of Saugus CA, but I doubt it has Hydra-Matic.
The best place I've found to look for old trucks is on the side roads of CA's Central Valley between Bakersfield and Modesto.
I found a 1923 Moreland in Newman off Hwy 33 (once known as the Central Valley Hwy before I-5 was opened), told a pal about it. He bought it, because it's one of the very few Moreland's extant.
This Moreland was manufactured in "beautiful downtown Burbank." The Moreland Motor Truck Co. was one of the very few companies that manufactured trucks in CA that were not associated with automakers.
