I just acquired a 1951 GMC 350-24. It was a one owner truck, owned and operated by a late friend of my fathers that owned a concrete/sand and gravel business, and employed my father at 15 years old in 1969/70. The truck was used as a dump truck, however the bed is now missing, and the truck has sat in a yard for 50 years. This will be my build thread, I will post pictures, and ask waaayyy too many questions I’m sure… When cleaning out the truck I found the original title! The truck is patina’d nicely and will stay that way, however all of the inner workings will be gone through to whatever extent needed in order to put this special beast back on the road. I will likely build an old looking flat bed for it, and make it adaptable for a tow boom or something as well. The wheels look like RH5’s however they are 3 piece split ring wheels. I need tires! 8.25-20 if anyone close to West Phoenix area has some! I found out last night that the truck has a 302 in it, original manual trans, and a PTO drive! The engine turns over nicely, and will need a starter and accessory overhaul to test fire… Let the fun begin!
