I have no place to put it. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/178530414.html So, is it a shortbed ton truck? 1 ton, 1.5 - is there anyway to tell by looking at it? hit me with any other details ya notice about it. Anyway, I just thought it was very cool... I so need a garage. he he he. -W | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | Woogeroo,
I don't know if this holds true to GMC's, but on Chevrolet's, the dust cover on the front spindle screwed on for 1 1/2 ton and was held on with little bolts for the 2 ton.
Although it isn't real clear in the pix, it looks like these are held on with bolts. Maybe a TWO TON!
It looks like a 12' bed to me!

This would make it a '52, or '53 model. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 587 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 587 | Definately a 1-1/2 or 2-ton. I vote for for a 350 two-ton. Newer than 49 as noted. Spank, couldn't that be 51 to 53? Better looking than that 49 I'm working on, wish it were here. Where is this Craiglist thing?? Is it Canadian? The date is written goofy like they do. Sure wasn't much info. I wrote asking for location, eng. size, and VIN #.

thanks folks, just curious.
I think it's neat, if I had a place to stash it I'd drive down there to check it out.
-W | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | I blew the picture up, & it definitly looks to have push button door handles. 1952, was the first year for push button door handles. It's not a '54, because it doesn't have the square park lights. If doors are correct, it almost has to be a '52, or '53. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 | it's a neat looking truck I think.  looks like the seller put a new ad up and changed the year on it. heh. -W | | |
