Relisted as the winning bidder did not pay.
I thought I would have this 1947 GMC truck the rest of my life but things change. This is truly a daily driver/Home Depot hauler. This truck was built on a very sturdy 1975ish Ford F100 chassis (Twin I-Beam independent suspension) with a 9-inch rear end and is powered by a SBC V-8/TH350 transmission from a 1970 Chevy truck. I bought this truck a few years ago and it had just been stripped to bare metal and the frame blasted and repainted at a dump truck facility. It was primed and had many new parts including the Ford steering box, gas tank, radiator, glass, wiring, carb and other engine/chassis components. I'm not sure of the engine history but it did have all new gaskets when I got it. It runs strong, doesn't leak, and doesn't burn oil. The powered brakes are all Ford with a disc/drum configuration. The front coil springs have been replaced and the front end aligned at an old school shop. The rear has manual air bags for comfort as well as adjustable ride height and capacity for hauling loads when needed. The body is solid but wears the scars of life on a farm. Any rust areas it may have had were cut out and replaced by the builder. It was painted with a couple of coats of black enamel, then silver was added followed by another coat of black. It was then wet sanded to get the aged look. The only comfort feature is an under-the-dash radio that blasts a couple of in-dash motorcycle speakers. No A/C and limited heat. It currently has an electric golf cart heater mounted under the dash although I do have what may be an original heater that supposedly works. I also have a rear bumper. I've appreciated the simplicity over creature comforts. However, the bench seat was disassembled and portions of the foam replaced with memory foam so it sits nicely for the driver and passenger. The seat and back pop out easily for access to the under/behind seat storage. I drive it to work once every week or so as long as the temperature is between 32 and 95 degrees. I've put very few miles on it and the only extracurricular activity it has had was when I took my son to camp in the north Georgia mountains. We had a blast!
