It's a 1949 GMC 300 with a side tipper. I talked with the current owner and it's got a rebuilt Chevy 235 (don't know the year), a new clutch and the seat has been reupholstered. He says that he's been using it almost daily in his landscaping business and it runs like a champ. Any way, here's a link to the pics: 49 GMC 300 Side Tipper | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 | Very cool. Looks like it is for sale. Why didn't you bring it home? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,409 Former Workshop Owner | | Former Workshop Owner Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,409 | Good looking truck, it looks like a normal dump box, it doesn't look like a side tipper. Just curious, how much is he asking?

I have the contact information if anyone wants it. Just PM me and I'll send it your way. He's asking $2k. It looks pretty solid to me with exception of the passenger rear cab corner which is rusted through. Also, it's a 5 window.
Why didn't I bring it home? I was already driving another rig and I couldn't think of anywhere to park it legally in my neighborhood. I'm toying with the question of where I could park it even as I write this. With it being a running specimen it could come in handy as I work on the other two (I have the 49 1-ton that shown at my signature line and a 55 F*rd F-100 Panel Delivery that I got just recently that I don't have any pictures of yet) but then I still have to run it by my wife.
I thought it was a normal tilt bed too until I got under it and saw both the hydraulic cylinders on the passenger side. Also, the wood in the bed was running the wrong way to dump out the back. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,441 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,441 | junk the droF and get the Baby $#!t green tipper.
