1950 GMC CUSTOM PICKUP TRUCK (5 window short bed)
VIN: A228279453 Long Beach, CA area
CLEAN TITLE / ALL DOCS / 2 KEYS / COVER
Summary
This restored and customized 1950 GMC 100 short-bed 5 window hot rod pickup truck is powered by a Chevy 350 V8 crate engine that sends power to the rear wheels through a Turbo 700R4 Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The engine and transmission are new with less than 300 miles. Many other assemblies and parts were installed during the rebuild project to get the truck sorted out. Handling, braking, and power make this truck a nice ride. It is eye-catching and a one-of-a-kind build. Steering and handling are precise. The ride is comfortable.
The body is original except for the truck bed and rear bumper modification all done in steel. The unique truck bed is powered by an electric hydraulic lift that opens to around 30 degrees giving access to storage space. The battery is also located under the lift bed.
The original build includes the following:
The new build centers on installing a new engine and trans and also includes suspension parts replacement, steering box replacement, and a rebuild of the 4-wheel disc braking system. Here is a partial parts list:
Paint: I would rate the paint an 8/10. There are a few scuffs on some lower sections, a couple of splits in the paint, and a small scratch near the driver’s rear mirror.
The electric windshield wipers are currently not working but were operational before the rebuild. The novelty horn is hot-wired but stopped working, again after the rebuild.
I purchased the truck in 2022 and have over $64,000 invested in it and all documents to verify the work done by Herb’s Automotive in Signal Hill. The truck is located in the Long Beach, CA area. This hot rod comes with a clean title, 3 keys, cover, and is ready to rumble! Genuine purchase inquires will be replied to. All others will be ignored.
