Hi,
I'm trying to make a deal with a guy for a '56 GMC 450 truck. It was a water truck back in the days. The tank is of the truck now. It's a 5 window cab. There is little to no rust on the truck, just some surfuce rust.
It has air brakes, a 5 speed main transmission and 3 speed secondary transmission (not standard a think). As far as I can see the parking brake is on the tranny but it isn't working like it should.
The engine is a 302. The seller thinks at was rebuilt at some time but it could be it only received a new coat of paint.
My plans for the truck: installing a proper flatbed and using it hauling my building materials and firewood for now. After the house is finished I would like te restore the truck to it's former glory.
Do you have any tips about this type of truck for me? What to look at before buying it, availabity of parts, that kind of tips.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Sander
