I won't be buyin' this truck.
Now, then, if that beautiful flatbed was in Horseshoe Bay at the right price, well, now, we'd just have to take a trip to Horseshoe Bay for a look-see!
Drivin' down a 2 lane country road in a stovebolt.....cowboy, it don't get no better than this!

You need to put together a "Tony's Picks" post on every Friday night with updates throughout the week. LOL
Nice older tow truck . . . the 46 in White Salmon is within 2 hours of me - looks bigger than a 1ton? I gotta start thinking about having ebay blocked from my server! | | |

In these days of the iffy stock market,investors turn to antiques,driving up prices. | | |

He has some cool rigs stashed in the trees and bushes around his place as well  - The red and black `50 Chevy winch truck could be a great money maker if one knows what to do with it.I could make it pay for itself within a year or less.

These big 'uns also seem to be the only things that survive our Canadian winters (more of 'em still almost whole in the boneyards) and they're generally CHEAPER too! So what's a guy to do who wants a HOT ROD truck?! Just what CAN you do to modify a big boy like that? :confused: I guess with the bigger front fenders the late model GM truck IFS would be a much nicer fit...then I guess you could always trim about 10 ft. of framerail off of the back end, add a newer rearend and springs, etc. Did I mention I saw a NICE '54-'55 1st GMC 2-3 tonner at the boneyard last Saturday? Hmmm...  Regards, Wannabe

Looks like he's done the late GM fullsize suspension upgrade, etc. Unfortunately, a COE wouldn't fit in my garage, even lowered, but a conventional cab big truck likely would, if sitting on a half ton suspension package. I tell ya, that ol' GMC was in fine shape for an Ontario truck! There were a few others there, too. I'll be going back come spring to browse some more, hopefully by then I'll have a digital camera so I can post pix. Oh yeah, the young guy we talked to there said the older (owner) of the yard usually "priced anything worth towing out of the yard" at about $800, give or take a bit...food for thought, though I'd still really prefer a pickup, either 1/2 or 3/4 ton to mess around with. And the dreamin' continues... Regards, Wannabe

Yeah, Tony, do a parade of pics for us each week, if you have time. I also like the "looks nice" 46 in White Salmon, but have sworn off considering anything that is not within one state distance away from me. :rolleyes: cheers, Ed B.
