Check out this ad 180305493722
Ad says it is a 55 model, but looking at the inside I think it is a little earlier than that.

I wouldn't on the off chance he goes crazy and start thinking it's worth a mint for some reason and kills the auction. Let the bidders decide.

i just got off the phone with the person selling the SC and i got a bit of the back story. it was pulled out of a farmer's field last week. he had no idea that it was valuable. i don't think he would pull the auction even if he did get an inkling, it's all gravy for him now anyways. he's already tickled with a thousand bucks for it.

he took the gates off the bus to use on a project '65 SC. i asked him to please please please let the gates stay with the truck. i will go and have a look at the bus in person, it is close to me, a little over an hour away.

Barndoor gates are different so yes, they should stay.

I believe it's minor, mostly because of the 3rd rubber stopper in the center of the gate.

The rear gate is different for a similar reason - no rubber stoppers up high but I think it's the same as later non-BD gates that don't have stoppers either (all ribbed bumper trucks?).

It looks like this one has smooth gates according to the latest pictures he posted. Shocked
Were smooth gates still offered in August? I thought they were nixed earlyer in 53.

I hate it when people bid at the last minute! That thing will take almost that much money in parts and untold hours in labor, I still kind of envy them though. I hope the buyer starts a build thread on it, of course that's probably never going to happen Sad
