I received a note today from a fellow who saw my truck in the 'Stovebolt Gallery'. Nice to see folks peruse the site!
Here is what he had to say about his grandfather's truck but first he spoke about mine.
"Nice truck!
I thought I saw a Manitoba plate on it, as I'm from Winnipeg, thought I
could ask you a question.
My grandfather has given me his 1946 GMC (2 ton?) grain truck with tilt
wood box. He's had it since new, it's complete but been sitting in the old
chicken shed since 1981, when it last ran. He took out the seats to try
and save them from the mice and put oil down the cylinders, and up to 1996
was out there every year turning the crank over a few times be hand and
putting more oil down the cylinders. It's in very solid shape - other than
needing a complete restoration.
Any idea what this might be worth and where I could advertise it to find
someone who will give it the TLC it deserves?
Any insight would be appreciated"
He says he will send me some pictures next week if he goes to take them this weekend. I told him e-bay is a likely place to advertise or the 'Swapmeet' on here.
Sounds like a good 'find'.
George
