Hi!!
Ive introduced myself in the welcome section of the forum and explained my sutation a bit, but mabe we should just get down to business here.
Im looking at aquiring a Chevy Loadmaster that was once my grandfathers on their family farm. Other then that, and the color, I really know nothing about it. It is a flatbed/stake body and I belive it has duel wheels in the back. Ive figured out how to find out the year using this site, but I dont really have daily access to the truck. So, that leaves me with a few questions from the information Ive found out using this site and others.
I know the "Loadmaster" was the style engine, but what was difference between the loadmaster and thriftmaster, and was there any others out there?
What years were the Loadmaster made, and was there really any reason why it was named that?
Are there any models of the loadmaster that are more desierable then others?
The last question comes as a really open ended sort of thing. I know putting a price on something REALLY depends on ALOT of things, as I know from dealing with people like this from all the antique tractor dealings I do. BUT, mabe I can provide a sort of a price range for me so I know how much to save.
A discription:
The truck has been sitting for 20 mabe 30+ years. When it stoped working (no body remembers what on it stoped working) it was pushed into the barn to sit there until this day. It does not run, and it is not belived to be pushed in there because of something major. The truck is Blue in color (Mariner Blue or Windsor Blue) and has a flatbed and/or stakebody. As of this time I am unable to get the wheelbase or VIN, but hope to do that soon. The truck is located in the east and I belive it is 1 ton or bigger. As I said it has been in the Barn under roof for more then 20 mabe 30 years, and from what I remember from my last visit it hardly has any rust (DUST is a different story). It is complete. There are no dents dings or anything on it, which I found hard to belive being it was used on the farm.
Again any help is very much apperciated!!! Thanks so much!!!!!
