1949 Chevrolet Pickup - Loadmaster - Dump Truck - Barn Find- Stovebolt on 2040-cars
Townsend, Massachusetts, United States
|
Fresh from the barn! Not to much is known about this truck. It was part of an estate sale. The truck does not come with any paperwork and I'm not sure where the vin tag is. It was said at the sale that the truck was stored inside since the 70's and has not been registered since 1959 (see attached Mass plate obviously not just bolted on). It appears that all of the parts are correct tor the year. Guessing on the year as a matter of fact.Take a look at the engine compartment. Looks bone stock to me. Foot operated starter linkage still intact. The dump body parts are all still intact and appear to be in working order. Looks like it has a PTO of the transfer case and a two speed rear end. Most of the interior parts are there. Heater box, gauges, seat, keys etc. Needs a seat cover, head liner etc. Typical cab and door rust. Nothing some old street signs couldn't fix in my opinion. Truck had some spare glass and two spare wheels in the dump body. Looks like a time capsule. Check out the vintage home made mud flaps and custom toolbox in the dump body sides. I have not tried to start it or turn it over. I think it would best be left to someone who wants to take care and not rush the procedure and possibly damage things. Looks like antifreeze is in the top of the motor and there is oil on the dipstick. We hooked up a battery to check to see what worked. lights turn on very bright and horn works. The rest is up to you. I'm selling this truck for parts only. To be clear, I do not know if this truck runs.It does appear that it could be made to run and drive with some work. How many loadmaster dump trucks 95% intact have you seen? I had to save this truck. It just plain looks cool. I wanted to put a flag pole on it and display it in the yard for now until I could find time to finish but the boss wants it to go. Already have a 1948 3100 hotrod project. |

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos

In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
