A super rare 1938 GMC T23 truck with
over $10k invested to date!!!
This is a great running and driving project truck.
Nice and straight original sheet metal. There is virtually no rust except
bottom of driver’s door. This was a local Colorado truck that was parked on a ranch
since the early 1950's. The former owner and I put lots of time and money into
this truck and it does have a clear Colorado title.
Here’s what’s been done…
It has the original 257 six cylinder
engine which runs great. The 4 speed transmission shifts great through all of
the gears. The clutch is completely rebuilt
and at that time checked the bearings and seals in the transmission. The
carburetor and fuel pump are rebuilt. It has a custom made brass radiator in
the original configuration so it fits correctly and is mounted as the original
was. The gauges are rebuilt. There is enough wiring to start and drive the
truck. The generator is wired to the voltage regulator and does charge. All of the glass has been replaced, the window
regulators were removed, cleaned, and greased and work well. Both sides of the
windshield swing out and there is minimal rust on the bottom and top of the
glass frames where the frame meets the cab. The headlight shells are restored, repainted, NOS lenses installed, and the reflectors re-silvered but are not
currently connected. The master
cylinder, heel cylinders, and rubber brake lines have all been replaced. The
brake shoes looked virtually new when the drums were pulled off. The wheel
bearings were repacked and new seals installed. All six of the wheels have been
stripped and powder coated. The tires are in good condition as they came off of
a 10k mile 1960's fire truck. Most of the exterior was sanded with 100 grit
paper and sprayed with gloss clear to preserve the original patina. It also shows off the incredible solid metal
that surrounds the entire truck. The seats were just upholstered and look
incredible. The truck runs drives and
stops but still need work depending on the level you want to take. Things that still need to be done include
weather stripping, connect lights, and installing whatever kind of bed you
desire….it could be a cool pickup, a wrecker, a car hauler, a flatbed….the
choses are endless. It is a running
driving project.
Here’s a list of additional parts that
go with the truck:
Original exhaust system shield.
Heat deflector which mounts on the
exhaust manifold and directs heat to the small door on the firewall.
Roof mounted lever actuated turn
indicator, aka Trafficator.
Original hub socket, lug wrench, tire
iron and starter handle to crank the engine by hand.
Extra carburetor
Original 1939 brochure and original
service manual
….plus lots of small misc parts
which I won't even try to list.
