Looks as if it came right out of the showroom. Real head turner at the Detroit dream cruise."

I found this vehicle in an old barn in northern Saskatchewan where it was used as a farm truck. There was no rust on the vehicle when I got it, although the box was in really rough shape.  The truck is a 1 ton (9 foot box) 1946 GMC, built in Oshawa, Ontario.  It went through a complete frame-off restoration over the last 10 years. The 216 cu in engine was totally rebuilt professionally, as was all the body work and painting.  The paint colors are original for 1946 GMC.  All rubber is new and all components are either new or rebuilt.  The frame and springs were in such good condition, they still had their parts numbers on them.  The rear axle and the 4 speed transmission were running fine, so new reworks were required.  Engine and cab numbers match.


The vehicle has a top speed of about 43 MPH and rides incredibly smooth considering it's vintage.   This is "an original type " vehicle- the only thing that has been changed from its original state is the conversion from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system. I also added turn signals to make driving a lot easier . The rear fenders on the box look as new; however they are fiberglass since I was unable to locate original replacements.  Spare tire and wheel assembly will be included.

I have a copy of the original vehicle ownership, shop manual, vehicle operating manual, and sales brochure.   

This is in "like new" condition and could be on display in any showroom .  Took it to the Woodward Dream cruise in Detroit and got thumbs up from all!

I love this vehicle, but need to sell, due to moving.

Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
