The Bison Brothers are in Alberta, Canada. They seem to be digging out a lot of old metal, mostly long-retired farm trucks, from the prairie provinces. From their website:
"1952 GMC 300 New Design Pickup Truck. Very solid truck with the rare 9 foot express bed. We acquired it from a very elderly farmer who's son painted it orange in the 70's, put a radio in it and used it to drive to school. Then when he left for college it was stuffed into the corner of the barn and forgotten until now. Selling with No Reserve to the highest bidder. Contact must be made within 24 hours of the auction ending or it will be assumed that you have no intention of honoring your bid and the truck will be offered to others. Zero Feedback bidders must make contact prior to bidding.
This truck has a good solid body with very minimal rust. The floorboards are very good with only minor rust in the usual area of the passengers side floorboard but far less than is often seen on these. The drivers side cab corner is very good but the passengers side has a little rust. The fenders have no signs of rust. The bed has no rust. The running boards have no rust. The doors have no rust. Overall this truck is a remarkably solid basis for a restoration with far less rust to contend with compared to most examples.
The interior is complete and in good condition for its age. The original seat will need reupholstering like with any unrestored farm truck of this era. And a 70's GM car steering wheel has been installed, likely at the same time the radio was added and the truck was painted orange.
Mechanically this truck is complete but has not ran for several decades so will need fully going through. All tires hold air and it rolls and steers freely."
