Have a line on two trucks in local auto rag. One is a 50 GMC 2-ton, hasn't run in two years, ran when parked. No bed. $800
I've been thinking of a GMC to play with, but would rather have 1-ton or smaller really.
Second truck is 53ish 2-ton, runs good, and has a two cyl lift on flatbed. $850. Seems like a better buy overall, but I want that GMC engine.
I have a 69 tilt-cab I could trade, which is worth more than either of these trucks. I don't have the money, but have this truck. It needs some work to drive also, but does drive if careful with it.
So, what you think? GMC or Chevy? Wife says NONE! I'm trying to hold back, but sold all my trucks cept one now, bought a Fird pick=up for my driver for now, Help me!

Since you seem to be willing to part with the tilt cab 69 go for both that way you'll have the GMC and the chevy in better condition. As for the wife you had one truck and would come up with two so you hoard of precious metal is increaseing. Who could find fault with this logic?

Glad to see your well enough to think about and get new projects....maybe you should gently remind you wife of that

Check the engine size next to the Dist....engines tend to get replaced.

Nother idea....you can easily shorten the w/b and make these trucks really short and fun to drive

Buy both, then sell the "F" truck (if one would go so far as to call it a truck!)

Hey G.L., At those prices, I'd try to get both. But if you can only swing one, get the Chevy first. Chances are, since that GMC doesn't run,it will be there a while, & you'll be able to get it later.
