I really wanted that truck but didn't bid. You stole it at $510.
The seller told me that it was a Coleman. I really drooled over it but had no way to get it home.
I delivered coal in a late 50's Coleman F*** 1-ton in Leadville in the early 70's. It was a brute.
Coleman was from Boulder so you might be able to scare up some parts.
From your UN I assume you have other GMC 4x4's. Fess up! What do you have?
I have a 51 2 wheel drive 1-ton, and I would love to find a Napco kit to install.
Have fun with that beast, and congratulations on your score. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4 | When he told us he said he didnt know who converted it but hopefully we will get in touch with him soon hes been hard to get a hold of this is the only 4 wheel drive we have i usta have a 1947 thriftmaster and a 52 1 ton chevy but i think this 4 wheel drive its pretty cool. Now i have seen other pictures of howe quad conversions could it be that and how can you tell if its a coleman
thanks nick | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 2 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: May 2003 Posts: 2 | I've got a '54 Chev 4100 (1.5 ton) I'd love to convert to four wheel drive, but I'm not sure what components would work. Either of you happen to know if the military stuff from the A.D. era is the same as the 1.5 or 2 ton NAPCO kits? I'm looking at a '52 GMC M1-35 6x6 to use as a donor vehicle. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 101 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 101 | 4x4GMC I don't know how you can tell if it's a Coleman. However, the seller did reply to my email in which I asked whether it was a Coleman or Napco. And he said Coleman. Troytrails I don't know whether the military conversion will fit in your civilian AD. Here are the guys to ask. http://www.napco4x4.org/ | | |
