1953 GMC Half Ton 5 Window Short Bed Pickup Truck. All original and incredibly solid barn find truck. Being a Canadian built GMC it has the more common Chevrolet Stovebolt 6 motor rather than the GMC motor found in the US manufactured GMC's. It runs good. A very good candidate for a full restoration due to very minimal rust. Selling withNo Reserveto the highest bidder. Contact must be made within 24 hours of the auction ending or it will be assumed that you have no intention of honoring your bid and the truck will be offered to others. Zero Feedback bidders must make contact prior to bidding. It has a very solid, rust free body with beautiful patina. The only rust is very minor and confined to a small area of the passengers side floorboard as can be seen in the photos. The cab corners, doors and fenders are remarkably solid with no signs of rust. What is incredible about this truck is the lack of dents. This is very unusual on an un-restored farm truck of this age, usually the fenders are very beat up. This truck hasn't even suffered the severe lower A pillar and firewall rust that these Advance Design GM trucks are prone to. The bed sits a little low at the front due to the bed floor wood being mostly rotten, most noticeable on the passengers side. This would be rectified with new bed floor wood or by simply wedging a 2x4 between the front of the bed and frame temporarily. Overall this is really a remarkably solid all original truck with a gorgeous look to it. The interior is complete but will require the usual work of re-upholstering the seat and other minor details. All gauges work except for the speedometer. It has what looks to be a factory radio. Overall it is very presentable for an all original truck of this era. Mechanically this truck needs very little. It starts and runs good. Please view the videos below of it being started and driven. The gas tank has been removed, cleaned and re-installed. It has fresh fluids and new ignition components. A new 6 volt battery. It shifts good through all gears with a smooth clutch that bites nice and low. It has a 4 speed manual transmission with a granny low. The brakes still need work though. The key is missing so a switch has been temporarily wired in for the coil. Overall very little mechanical restoration is required. This will make a great project being such a rare and solid truck that's almost ready to drive on the road. It has been incredibly well preserved for its age.
