1953 GMC 3100 5 Window Half Ton Barn Find Patina Farm Truck NO RESERVE
1953 Chevrolet Other Pickups Half Ton 5 Window
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. Selling withNo Reserveto the highest bidder.

Shipping
Should you wish to have your new (old) vehicle shipped, then let us know and we can put you in contact with our preferred shippers. Theseshippers are familiar with us, our inventory and our location. They are also very reasonably priced.
If you decide to use an alternative shipper, please make them aware if the vehicle is a 'non-runner' and, therefore, will require a winch for loading and unloading. We are not responsible if you book a shipper who is incapable of loading the vehicle.
Due to the nature of what we do, we are often on the road in search of new vehicles, so please be sure to make us aware of your shipping/collection arrangements ahead of time, so that we can arrange to be there to meet you or your shipper.
If you are an international buyer (outside of the US) then you have two options:
1. Have the vehicle transported from our yard in Coaldale, Alberta to the port in Vancouver, British Columbia, and then to your country of residence.
2. Have the vehicle transported from our yard in Coaldale, Alberta, via bonded transport to a port in the US, and then to your country of residence.

We are two brothers who seek out original trucks and cars from all across Canada, specializing in vehicles from the 40s, 50s and 60s.

We make thesevehicles available to the US market by taking care of importation and providing all paperwork required to obtain a ClearUS Title, in your name and home State.​
We are passionate about finding the best there is and understand that our customers wantto see automobiles that have not been tampered with; The more original, the better.​
