Has Anyone Ever Seen A Truck Like This ?

[pro64ss]

Lets put it this way. I can buy it and a complete truck just like it in much better condition(but only a regular cab) for $1000.00 It will be mine when the snow is gone.The other truck has tires on it and you can just roll it right on a trailer. It is a 14000 GVW truck. There is also a very nice 46 chevy pickup sitting there all complete. Maybe the person that posted these pictures for me will post the pics of it on here. I sent him 2 pictures of it. Thanks

I have seen one truck like this at a car show before. they guy told me he purchased it at state or railroad surplus sale but I don't remember exactly where. his was green with black fenders both front and back. I would get a hold of a Chevy dealership or the GM Heritage center and see if they can help you. I sent a picture to a friend of mine at my local GMC dealer who has been there since the 70's I will post anything he gives me.

but I agree with others here it would be a cool truck once restored

That is an interesting truck even with the rust. I'd think it was either a power company or railroad truck and originally there may have been a compartment at the front of the bed for additional crew to ride in and the reason for the roll down back window.

That would have to be a late 47 to early 49 truck.

My friend called back he is almost sure that it is not a factory truck, he says it looks like a "Scott Bilt" truck. He said they were out of Oklahoma and they converted trucks to crew cabs for oil companies, municipalities, railroads and any one else that needed them. he says if it is a Scott Bilt that it would be Extremely Rare

Just want to thank you again Mechanixman for posting my pictures and Mtnsackett that is a very good starting point is to try to get info out of chevrolet themselfs. I will see how that goes.

Wow, I wonder if this Scott-bilt is still in business ? There is a phone number for them on the add. I am going to google to see if they are still there. That is very good info. Thanks

Well from the looks of that truck you could have the Task force guys jealous and have a big back window AD lol

Crown / Orrville conversions come to mind.
