This is the REAL DEAL 1 TON, RARE THRIFTMASTER 1949 MODEL.*~*~ VERY LOW RESERVE ~~*~*
Not your typical shortbed halfton, slammed chopped lowrider or showboat truck....this is an old relic that shows the sign of the times.For those not certain of this model not many made and very rarely do you find these work horses around anymore. These trucks came with the extra long 9' bed, heavy duty helper springs, bigger chassis, bigger 8 lug wheels and axles and gear to tow. You can see compared to my 59 Chevy 3/4 ton next to it the cabs are standard size however, the bed is a whole 1' longer and has the heavy suspension. NO it's not the size of a big o dually or COEs.
Wheels up are rare 17" with original style chrome caps, big era correct tires, steel bed, heavy dutyrear bumper and the fancy spotlight.The truck as you can see needs complete restoration, it Does Not run and I haven't attempted to get it started sold as a classic project truck. Inline 6 engine and manual 4 speed trans. Perfect Father & Son truck to get going and reminisce on them good ol days when cruising down the back country roads or hauling stuff around the farm with you Pops or Grandpa.
Engine & trans are all there and was told it's original, gages all in place, all dash knobs there, the old underdash heater still in place, floor shifter and floor hand brake sits just as it should. As you can see in the picture the passenger side does have some rust issues like you would expect on the cab and bottom of the door, the floors are truly solid, clean and rust free, the door hinges/ pockets are very solid too, running boards in good shape, front fenders are clean. Grill; front bumper and light bezels are very nice shape so is the cool spotlight!
It's being sold with Bill of Sale and Washington title still showing in previous owners name, I planned on parting it out however this truck is truly a rare find figure I list it 1st.I've described it to the best of my knowledge, it rolls does not run, needs repairs, restoration, towed and basically best offer takes Ol Green....listed locally so I have the right to end auction early.Please ask all questions upfront via email or text anytime 760.583.4551
