Just got back from looking at both trucks again. I got lucky and both owners of these trucks were there. The Chevy is an early 30 according to him. He says it is a mix of 29-30 parts.He has the hood, radiator and the headlights for it but is missing the winshield frame, rear fenders and radiator shell/shroud. It does run but they had trouble getting it to run right.He put it out there to sell it, but now he is having second thoughts, Now he is thinking he might put a later chassis under it and sell the original one but he is undecided. I told him I would be interested in the whole thing and he took my number and said he would give me first shot at it if he decides to sell.
The GMC is a 53 2.5 ton ex USAF truck.It runs but the brakes need work.Looks like they are air over hydraulic.He does have the title to it. I offered 2500 and he said he would do that and he would load it on a trailer and deliver it since the brakes aren't working. I asked him why the gin poles were cut off...he said they were attached until his buddy took it for a spin around the building and the winch popped into gear and tore them off. So we know the winch works.
