I'm just curious on this one, since I've already got a couple irons in the fire. I've got a '47 flatbed that needs rebuilt, and a '66 Ford (that's right, I said the F-word!) F-250 that needs a new clutch. Since I've only got a little time to work, I'm going to focus on those more. This one is kind of buried anyway if I remember correctly, so I should probably get the other two fixed before I go hunting down any more trucks. Does anybody have any information on this truck besides it's a '59 GMC? Were they pretty common trucks, or did they get overshadowed by others in the day? Hopefully I can get this one running and keep it in the family too.
I believe these were called "Fleetside" trucks. While the trucks were quite common back in the day, for whatever reason the shorter beds and stepside beds were more common. Neat truck though, would make a cool ride today.
