This truck was a Nebraska farm truck. It probably had a grain box on it, and someone took the grain box off and built the flat bed. The bed will tilt, but the hydraulics were removed at some point. The truck has a manual 4 speed transmission. There is a throttle pull on the dash to set engine speed. Original seat was removed and bucket seats installed by a previous owner. I do have the owner’s manual.
The brakes have been repaired (master cylinder, wheel cylinders), emergency brake repaired, replaced carburetor, tune-up included petronix kit, replaced alternator. Turn signals added.
Work needed:
No heater core, horn not hooked up, odometer/speedometer (housing broken), fuel gauge inoperable, no windshield wiper motor, no glove box.
I found two sets of numbers on the motor. According to the VIN number, the engine is a 228 cubic inch, 6 cylinder. The ID number near the distributor is 270929160. On the block under the manifold, the number is J287, GMC042824008.
