Normal 0 This 1946 GMC pickup went thru a complete frame off restoration, and has less than 2800 miles put on it since then. It runs and drives way better than new, and gets thumbs up everywhere you go. GMC used Steel Beds in their trucks instead of wood, and this rust free example is no exception. With Chevy Big Block Power, and heavy duty suspension, you could even use it for a tow vehicle if so desired. Here are some highlights: · Professionally built 1968 396 HiPo block W/ 1966 427 closed chamber heads and a Forged Crankshaft · New 2-1/2” Aluminized Flowmaster Exhaust System W/ Stainless Rolled edge Tips · New Edelbrock 1826 Thunder Series AVS Carburetor, W/ New Velocity Stack Air Cleaner · New Water Pump, Fuel Pump, Overflow Tank, HEI Ignition, Chrome High Output Alternator Etc, Etc. · Optima Red Top Battery · Electric Fan with Thermal Sensor Switch for Automatic Operation · Professionally built TH-400 Heavy Duty Transmission · IFS Front End W/ Power Steering and Power Disc Brakes plus New Springs and all other related components · Fresh, Heavy Duty 12 Bolt Rear End W/ Large Finned Drum Brakes.

It will cruise all day at highway speeds in comfort. The paint has a few minor flaws here and there, but that has not kept it from winning trophies at the local car shows it has been in. “As the collector vehicle lifestyle continues to evolve, classic pickups have become the fastest growing segment among collectors. Analysis conducted by the Hagerty Valuation Team confirms the number of pickups purchased by collectors has grown more than any other collector vehicle segment. Pickups have seen a value growth of 56% over the past five years in correlation to other vehicle segments that show an average growth of 13%. Auction companies are supporting the trend as well; the number of classic pickups offered by the top 15 North American auction companies has doubled over the past three years”. There is a very fair reserve on this truck, please don’t ask what it is, just know I intend to sell, and it will be better than the NADA Valuation. I will need a 500 dollar deposit thru Paypal immediately following the close of the auction, with the balance due within 5 business days by way of cash, Cashiers Check or Bank Transfer. All Checks will need to clear my bank before the truck is released. It will come with a Clear Oregon State Title in my name, a signed bill of sale, and of course, it will be sold “as-is”. Please write with any questions.
