possible 1954 Dually
Hey guys.
figured id ask you what all you think, ive had a bunch of inpit from people i know and all, but more doesnt hurt so this topic is about a truck i found for sale. the guy has it posted as a 1955 GMC 150 Pickup im a Dodge guy, and know them more than i do Chevy.. but i figured out that in fact its really a 1954. Ill attach some pics he has posted. the OP was for 1800, and within a month has dropped to 1500. all he states in the add is "call for more info......rare 30xxx miles motor runs good needs to be finished" so, i dont want to let him know anyone is interested yet, in hopes that hell lower the price a little more. but lets say it all checks out ok and all... how much would you guys offer? if anyone is wondering, btw, i plan on keeping it stock for a bit and eventually make a rat rod out of it and make a custom bed to haul my motorcycle and such tthanks!

Re: possible 1954 Dually
I like it just how it is for 1500. But, I would lose the PBR shifter.

Re: possible 1954 Dually
It very well could be a 1955 1st series truck. '54 - '55 1st were a two year only design. Same as the Chevy trucks, they had mid year change in design. A '55 2nd series would be the '55.2 - '59. A good place for GMC info is oldgmctrucks.com
Not fair to judge just by looking at pictures. Go look at it and make an offer. Good luck |

Re: possible 1954 Dually
If you have cash on hand, it shouldn't make a difference.
If you offered something in the ballpark of $1200, right away, I bet he'd sell it close to your offering price. just my 2¢ |

Re: possible 1954 Dually
If it has a clear title, I agree with mechanixman.

Personally I hate the rat rod concept as it is the ruination of a lot of what otherwise could be nice vehicles. Leave it as and call it patina even though it is the sign of rust and neglect or slick it out and put a simple original appearing paint job on it and build a set of ramps that will also serve as side racks by having pegs on one side that slip in the stake pockets and call it good and haul the bikes.

Re: possible 1954 Dually
$1500 is not bad for a truck like that to be the basis for something like this ...

Re: possible 1954 Dually
If he already came down from 1800 to 1500, most likely he didn't get much intrest and thought he was asking too much. Odds are he'll drop the price again. 1K would be fair. imho.
