Here's more of this '48 Chevy truck kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV62iHyHqsmNac0

Had a 49 Chevrolet 6400, dump bed, straight 6, 2 speed rear end. Not a hint of rust. What a beautiful vehicle. Purchased it in Kansas as it was listed on ebay.. DId a lot of work on it all new brakes,pressure plate, clutch etc. Did not have too much room for it so I made the huge mistake of selling it, and have regretted it ever since. Need to keep my eye opened for another 6400 of the late 40's.

Thanks for sharing that. I hope you find one & get lots of enjoyment out of it. I appreciate you watching.

[@skn9895]

I love the sound of the gear whine. Sounds just like our '54 2-ton.

[@freemansgarageextra]

There's nothing better.

[@tompilling4154]

Now I need a grain truck 🚚💨💨💨

[@freemansgarageextra]

Agreed.

[@paulreft7133]

Sweet ride along! Thank you for sending me the link for this video! That old girl is a sweet survivor, and I love my cowl vent A/C ! It was a great addition to these old trucks on a hot summer day! 👍👍👍

[@freemansgarageextra]

You're welcome. It technically is conditioned air.

[@CarburetedCowboy]

Please make some cold starts on everything you have showing us what you do with the gas pedal to get them started. Especially this one with the starter pedal! What a cool channel!

[@freemansgarageextra]

I made a note of that. It won't happen anytime really soon but it's on the list of videos to film. The list is very long. Thanks for watching.

I have a 1951 Chevy 2 1/2 ton flatbed dump. I used it for a daily driver for about 18 years. I need to get it running again. I miss driving it. The top speed was about 55 mph. It wasn't fast, but it was fun to drive.

[@freemansgarageextra]

A 2 1/2 ton daily driver for 18 years is respectable. I suppose a flat bed makes the truck feel a little less bulky in daily driving situations than a giant grain box. You should say something when it's running again. It would be neat to know it's back in service. Thanks for sharing that.

My father owned one back in the his was a stake body he used to haul 7 ton of produck huled like ontin on it what a tru k in the day

[@freemansgarageextra]

Thanks for sharing that. They sure knew how to build them.

[@jerrykolosinsky4615]

Ya got that right

[@kevinjohnson8758]

Hauling is where they shine.

[@freemansgarageextra]

That is very true.

[@neilpryce3356]

What a great video! especially the part when you ran the border at Pembina.

[@freemansgarageextra]

Glad you liked it!

[@iamgrowler]

What a sweet truck.

[@freemansgarageextra]

Thanks!

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Im not chevy guy but damn i sure do like big trucks

[@knoptop]

Great shots! Does the bed automatically stop when it closes?

[@freemansgarageextra]

Thanks. Yes, it stops automatically. The sound you hear at 12:40 is the bed latching into place.
