Description for GMC Truck 1950

Make your Christmas dreams come true! It's the old red truck everyone loves and wants! This 1950 GMC Pickup Truck is the product of a complete frame off resto mod! It is a 1950 GMC body on a 1970 Chevy frame and drivetrain. It's the best of both worlds with the good looks of the 1950 but the functionality of a more modern model. It has been a wonderful truck for me, and not much trouble at all over the 10 years that I've had it. It is able to handle interstate speeds well. I use it around town, a mix of highway and city, once or twice a week. I've still been treating and maintaining it like I'll have it forever and have everything just how I want it. I am just ready to move on from it; I'm finding it more of a chore to keep it in use once or twice a week which keeps it running well. Under the hood is a Chevy 350 Cubic Inch 8 Cylinder engine paired with a 4 barrel carburetor and it has plenty of power. It can pin you back in your seat. It has Headers and Flowmaster dual exhaust giving a nice robust sound without being too loud, and a 3 speed automatic transmission that is shifted on the steering column giving a nice amount of floor space for a true 3 seater. Truck has power steering from the '70 Chevy. It has a perfectly matching in dash Vintage Air Heat and Air Conditioning system installed, the industry leader. It has front disc brakes and drum brakes in the rear. Front and rear bumpers are chrome as well as front grille. The electrical system is 12 volt. It has a wood bed and a tool box. PPG paint was used on the red exterior. It has radial wide whitewall tires and chrome baby moon hubcaps and beauty rings. It is a 1/2 Ton Pickup. The interior bench seat is in good condition and adjusts forward and backward with no splits or cracks; I believe it is a vinyl seat. Wood side panels on the interior add extra appeal. The dash gauges are a Beede aftermarket replacement set. I have put about 15,000 miles on the truck in 10 years. Odometer reads 27,500 miles now. Speedometer is 120mph with digital mileage read out. The other gauge cluster is a battery gauge, oil pressure gauge, engine temperature gauge, and gasoline gauge, all working. A retro-style AM/FM radio is installed in dash with a power antennae, and it has an auxiliary cable that will allow you to play music to the speakers from an external input like a phone. That's a turn signal lever on the left side of the steering column. The truck is a long wheel base which I was not looking for initially, but I did not find that to be very visually noticeable in this model and it worked well for me being able to have a toolbox for storage and still a long enough bed to haul what I needed. The side profile from the driver's side gives a good view of the additional length. The spare tire on the side is just for style. For some reason it was with the truck when I bought it, but it is a 16 inch rim and the actual rims the truck drives on are 15 inch. I had planned to put one of the white walls there when they were worn out. There is a functional spare on a 15 inch rim mounted under the truck. The spare has a little smaller tire than the 4 main tires, so It would be recommended to put that spare on the front of this rear wheel drive truck and use it for as little mileage as possible. The truck has a foot pedal operated emergency brake installed as well as high beam lights that are operated with a foot switch. The radiator is still of the 1950's shape, but a more modern desert cooler 4 core radiator. The clear coat on the truck is excellent and the truck shines even when dirty. The truck has two electric cooling fans on top of eachother in front of the radiator. One is controlled by a switch under the dash and one turns on automatically when the air conditioner is on. There is also a fan between the radiator and engine that is on whenever the engine is on. The truck has excellent airflow inside even without the air conditioner if you open the large cowl vent in the hood and a cowl vent on the driver's side fender; that's the factory A/C I like to say! The sides of the bed are lined with bedliner material and there are good tie down hooks in the front and rear of the bed on each side. 3 seat belts are installed; they could be removed if you would like. I have two sets of keys for the truck. Alternator is 150 amp. Throttle and Choke levers are just decorative and no longer functional. Wood rails on the bed are currently installed and will be included with the truck. It is not a 5 window model although I imagine the two side panel windows could be added to make it one if you wanted to; I like the style of this better than the 5 window. It has been and is currently garage kept for the entire time I've owned it. I believe the rear axle to be off of the 1970 Chevy as well. Gas tank is located behind the driver seat as it was in 1950, but conversion kits to relocate to under the bed are available if desired. Truck seems to have very little to no issues with rust and I have not found any areas of the body that seem to be bondo instead of metal. Has tilt and telescoping steering wheel. Electric windshield wipers and horn. Engine has an Edelbrock intake manifold. Truck has sunvisors on interior with GMC trucks patch.

I want you to be as satisfied with the truck as I have been, so I will try to list out all potential problems that the truck has, and I hope you can appreciate the level of honesty on these otherwise hidden items. I am sure there will be some things you want to fix up and make your own, but the truck is totally ready to ride the way it is. Please ask if you have any questions. Truck is being sold as is and sale will be final. Any of these problems were things that just did not bother me enough to go after or I felt like it was better to leave well enough alone. I believe the wood bed to be oak. On the passenger side near the cab, the first 14 inches of 4 boards have been replaced with Oak. There's a little seam in the last picture that can be seen near the toolbox handle where the new board was installed. The finish match is a little lighter on the new board. This is all under the toolbox and nearly invisible if you keep the toolbox which will be included. The worst of any paint damage is pictured in the 4th to last picture under the gas cap. I parked on an incline one day and had a cap with a poor seal and gas leaked out of the cap causing this damage. I have since replaced the cap and have never had this happen again. There is a smaller spot of similar looking paint damage on driver's side lower fender above the running board around where the toolbox is, and some around where the windshield meets the hood, and a few other small spots around that have been touched up, but no significant dents or body damage. I'll include the touch up paint I have left with the truck and the paint code is marked on it. I have been using the truck with no thermostat installed. This was a decision made with my mechanic due to how hot it is where I live; we preferred having the unimpeded flow of coolant since it is usually hot here and rarely cold, and extremely hot in the heart of the summer. You can easily add a thermostat if you would like. I can not say that the truck does not leak at all, but I routinely check the fluids, and it is more like once a year that I have to top anything off. The truck was not taken apart to paint, so between the bed and the cab has a little more orange peel and a little less red coverage and shine than the rest of the truck. This is pictured in the second to last picture and only visible if purposely peering between the truck and the bed which is only a 2 inch gap. There is a spacer installed in the rear passenger side suspension coil spring that has been there for years that helped level out the appearance of the truck. There is a heavy piece of railroad track hidden on the rear bumper brackets and also above the spare tire. This was a mechanics opinion to add weight to the rear since the truck is so heavy in the front and so light in the back. Space was limited and I think it ended up being 86lbs added. They could be removed if desired. On the passenger side of the windshield, there is one filled rock chip and one that I do not think is filled, they are both about 1/2 inch in size. The driver's side window gives me a little trouble with falling down involuntarily about a half inch, but it hasn't bothered me enough to work on it as I ride with the windows down a lot anyway and I can always get it to go back up to lock and secure it, but I do have to work with it for less than a minute sometimes to get it to do what I want. The front passenger side tire had a nail hole fixed with a plug and has been stable for quite some time. The truck definitely starts easier when you start it once or twice a week. This may just be the nature of carbureted engines. It takes a bit of priming the gas pedal and such to get it to start. I have never had it strand me anywhere due to not starting and it starts very easily when it has already been used that day. Just a bit cold natured I guess. I just about stopped noticing it, but I think the speedometer can still jump around a bit at times, mostly at a stop light; I've seen it jump up a bit for some reason at those times, but never enough to really affect anything, and to me it still performs its intended function well. The truck only locks from the passenger side door which is just how it was designed from the factory. The drivers side door is not totally flush with the body. You just see a little of the weather seal pictured in the 3rd to last photo, but not enough to bother me or risk throwing it off more, but I think there is some adjustment in the door bolts if you wanted to mess with it. There are three buttons for the horn on the steering wheel, some work more reliably than others. There is some chrome damage covered with similar color paint on the passenger headlight and on that side of the grill mostly behind that vanity plate.
