2) 1950 GMC 1/2-ton with bed, 3-window cab. Homemade divot on RR fender to accommodate a spare tire. No papers, runs with help, roller. Cab is so-so, bed sides are good, front clip is good.

I've been looking for an AD truck for awhile now, and these look pretty good. I plan on using the 5-window cab from the one-ton and building the half-ton int a nice driver.

Questions: What engine would both trucks likely have? *** 228 full pressure engine *** Aren't all of the AD GMCs pressure-oilers? *** YES*** Would both trucks be four-speeds (I did not look at that when I saw them)? *** NO *** THE 1/2 TON CAME WITH A 3 SPEED OR A 4 SPEED. What rear gears is that 1/2-ton likely to have? *** 4:11 *** Where is the serial number located on a '50??? *** DRIVERS SIDE PILLAR.

Thanks in advance!
