Imagine the surprise when the estate sale team thought they had all the vehicles accounted for in the 60'x25' commercial storage unit in Oxnard, CA, only to see some light blue patina paint peeking through stacks of boxes reaching 12 feet high. This 1955 GMC 150 Stepside had been parked in the back of the unit for a very long time, kept safe by the late previous owner. He was the owner of a Rolls Royce repair shop in Beverly Hills, CA and purchased this truck in 1966, giving him 58 years of ownership.
He had a vision of more power and drivability with the factory 287 Pontiac engine being swapped for a Chrysler Big Block 383ci V8 and modifications to the transmission by B&M in 1967. The last registration sticker showing on the California black and yellow commercial plates is from 1969, which was the last time it was registered. The 1970 registration card was never processed and is still in tact, which can be seen in the photo gallery.
It appears that this truck was purchased as a project and never completed, so it's a great opportunity for a new owner to make their vision a reality and get it back on the road. There are many directions this build could go, how would you build it?
The seller acquired the truck from the late owner's estate in April 2024. The truck has a clean CA Title in the sellers name and registered as Non-Operational status with CA DMV. There is a reserve price that will need to be met in order for this truck to sell.
