Mechanical:
Engine: The 1964 Chevy 250 inline-6 engine runs and drives, but requires either a rebuild or replacement due to significant noise.
Transmission: Four-speed manual "Compound Low" transmission shifts appropriately.
Brakes: The brake lights are experiencing an electrical issue. When the brake pedal is depressed, the front turn signals also illuminate. Further diagnostics and repair are needed.
Windshield Wipers: The windshield wipers are currently non-operational.
Horn: The horn is weak and unreliable, requiring attention.
Speedometer: The speedometer is functional but reads approximately 5 mph slower than the actual speed.
Serviced and Safety Checked: This truck has been serviced and safety-checked. New wheel cylinders and a master cylinder. Replaced. We discovered one videoing letter, taillight, and Park lights are somehow connected and do not function correctly.
Body & Paint:
The body of the truck is remarkably straight and appears to be rust-free.
The turquoise paint is presentable but is not a professional-grade job and shows imperfections.
Interior:
The doors close securely and align well.
The original seat has been replaced with a modern bench seat offering adjustable positioning (up/down, forward/backward).
Heater: The heater is functional and produces heat effectively. It makes some noise upon initial start-up but quiets down quickly.
Driving Experience:
The truck has been driven approximately 20-25 miles allowing for basic functionality testing.
Overall:
This 1951 GMC pickup is a solid project vehicle with a lot to offer. The desirable 5-window cab, the relatively straight and rust-free body, the newly installed wood bed, and the desirable "Compound Low" transmission make it a worthwhile restoration project. While the engine requires attention, the truck runs and drives, making it easier to move and work on. Remember, we are selling this as a project needing work to be reliable and roadworthy.
