The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 49 chevy 3100 with a dump bed option?

I agree with you mostly and coilover has good advice. I first thought the same as Coilover about the dump. But now that I see it and that they used the stock bed and it's era looking, I like it.
Sometimes weird stuff like that appeals to me and sometimes not. I think it's worth examining the way they did it and how stock it "looks". I agree the truck is in good shape. Price is subjective especially in this case. It would be fun to restore and show off the tilt bed. Especially keeping the old looking hydraulics and hardware. My comments are subject to: IF the original bed was used and sits normal. I am also thinking that if this was modified back in the day by a professional, it is a one of a kind and could be valuable. I can't dismiss it from what I see. I will never know for sure because I have to see it in person and see how it hits me. Pictures do lie. As an old truck it IS in good shape, but remember what I said about not running. Do a Benjamin Franklin list.
