A guy not terribly far from me is selling a 49 gmc. what i get from his listing and comments is that it does not run, but comes with a small block 350 that does run. original trans, did not answer if brakes worked. comes with title and has other parts...
Here is where I need some input. I would like to buy this for my wife. she is in love with the color, patina and style of truck. What does she want to do with it? just drive it. we live in a small, 2k pop. town. Laws are pretty lax about such things. She lives 1 block away from work and usually walks, but on days she has to drive to other businesses she wants an old truck. Drive it on the weekends.
He sent some pictures of the interior and it doesn't have much, no gauges. But how much trouble would it be, to get this running, driving and safe for her to bee bop around in. I'd be fine with putting the 350 in it, unless i could get the original motor to work again. It would be nice to have a speedometer for her.
He's asking $1500 and it looks like a pretty solid truck. BUT I have not looked at it in person. yet.
Sorry for the small pictures but this is what he sent me.
