I'm thinking about buying it and letting it sit for about a year until I finish my 1970 Mustang project. Anyway I'm clueless about old trucks and there value, I've always worked out of them not restored them. Any help is appreciated! 1951 GMC 100 | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | I would be all over that, really nice original looking 5-window. Interestingly has a Chevrolet 235 in it so must be a bit of history to it. I know here in non-running condition a truck like that is 5-6k. If you can get a deal on that truck you have a keeper in my opinion.

Interestingly enough in some years the Canadian-built GMC trucks had Chevrolet engines, so I wonder if it's a Canadian GMC? I don't know if the model number is a tip-off? It does look like a good start. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 8 | Thanks for the replies! The mld# is 101-22-S-1521. I think I'll bite on this one, it's $2,500 as is where is. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | If you don't want it I'll take it. Nice truck even with a Chevy engine. That can be easily changed. By the serial number I can tell you it is a US truck, made in St Louis and it came with a 228. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 | ... And at $2500 it's a steal. Jump on it.
Nothing wrong with a 235 as power.

Lets keep it in the family! I'll bet I could drive it while I work on my current project. Let us/me know.

It looks like an older restoration to me, (chromed, rusting bumper). Another Chevrolet pointer is the instrument cluster. I think those should have been white faced in a GMC. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | ND GMCs never had white gauges. Some did have a cream color but I don't know what years. This truck has GMC gauges. Notice 'FUEL' instead of 'GASOLINE', 60 lb oil pressure gauge, 50 amp ammeter and numbers on the temp gauge rather than H-C. Edit: Did some research on oldGMCtrucks.com. 1951 was the transition year. Early '51 and older had cream colored gauges. Later '51s had the Chevy colored ones.
