1941 ½ ton GMC Pickup Project
I have a very unique and hard to find GMC pickup which I started to restore a few years back. Things changed and now that I actually have a shop I could work on the truck there are other projects that have taken precedence over this one and I would like to free up the space. All the mechanicals have been replaced or rebuilt—all the truck needs is body work to complete. This truck does not come with a bed—however there are a few companies out there that reproduce them. Here is a rundown of what has been completed:
-Frame and axles blasted and powder coated
-Rear axle rebuilt, updated to highway gears and switched to open driveline
-Rebuilt 302 inline 6 GMC engine
-Rebuilt four speed and new clutch
-new driveshaft made for the truck
-front axle has new bearings and king pins
-all brakes are new
-Newer style shock mounts added to truck for both axles
-rebuilt carburetor, new alternator, starter rebuilt and switch to 12 volt, new distributor
-instrument cluster rebuilt and made to look better than new
-steering box rebuilt
-radiator rescored
-cab, front fender and other various sheet metal sandblasted---currently in bare metal
Extra parts I have on hand:
-spare 4 speed transmission
-extra set of doors
-extra hood and emblems
-extra grill parts
-many other new parts that I cannot recall
The truck is located near Bend OR and I am asking $4500.00 or Best offer. May consider FJ45 parts, truck or some FJ40 parts for trade.
More photos of the truck can be seen at:

The first two photos are how the truck sits today--the last photo is to show you what potential this little truck has. Thanks for looking.
