As you can see from the pictures and video, this is an exceptional example of a very rare, all steel GMC, that was only produced in any quantity in 1941 and 1946, due to our involvement in World War 2 from 1942 to 1945. 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. Thanks, TJ
