Need Input on possible purchase 49 GMC

[_Ogre]

my 59 1 ton panel still has the brake lever next to the shifter, not sure if the 3/4 ton had them
if he's asking $1500 he'd probably take $1200; the body looks good, it's a good deal either way

plan on spending a couple grand to get it running, moving and stopping; assuming you do the work
if you can't work on them i'd pass, taking old trucks to the shop can get expensive
old trucks have strange features: floor starters, clunky 4 speed truck trans, huck brakes
plan on replacing all brake lines and rebuilding all the brakes

it may be a chevy in gmc skin
