IF YOU HAVE SERIOUS OFFER, PLEASE EMAIL ME THROUGH EBAY TO DISCUSS, AND IF I ACCEPT ILL CHANGE THE BUY IT NOW FOR YOU. THANKS . YOU ARE BIDDING ON A CHEVY TRUCK FROM 1953 FROM MY COLLECTION. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK A FEW YEARS AGO AND I BEGAN THE RESTORATION PROCESS. HERE IS WHAT WAS DONE. TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY STRIPPED TO METAL, AND IS ALMOST RUST FREE, EXCEPT FOR A FEW MINOR LITTLE AREAS THAT WERE REPAIRED. BODY AND FRAME WERE EXCELLENT AND SOLID AS ORIGINAL. \ FRAME WAS STRIPPED AND PAINTED AS WELL. BODY HAS ALMOST NO BODY WORK, AND HAS A COAT OF EPOXY FLAT PRIMER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SATIN. THIS WAS IN PREPARATION FOR THE FINISH WORK ON THE BODY AND PAINT. I LEFT AS IS SO THAT THE QUALITY OF THE PAINT JOB IS LEFT UP TO THE NEW OWNER. THE TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW AND THE CHROME RIMS ARE VERY CLEAN AND ARE OBVIOUSLY AFTERMARKET. I HAVE A SET OF ORIGINAL RIMS THAT ILL SELL FOR A NOMINAL AMOUNT AND INCLUDE WITH THE TRUCK IF BUYER WANTS THEM. THERE ARE A PAIR OF ORIGINAL BUMPERS WHICH ARE NOT PERFECT BUT LOOK VERY GOOD AND WERE CHROMED A FEW YEARS AGO. THE REAR BUMPER IS OFF AS I COULD NOT FIND THE BUMPER MOUNTS. IT IS HOWEVER AN EASY PART TO FIND ON EBAY AND ALSO REPRODUCED BY SEVERAL COMPANIES AND NOT VERY EXPENSIVE. THE REASON BUMPER IS OFF IS BECAUSE A CUSTOM HITCH WAS MADE FOR THIS TRUCK BY THE PERSON I BROUGHT FROM AND IS INCLUDED WITH THIS TRUCK. IT MOUNTS WHERE THE REAR BUMPER MOUNTS USED TO GO . THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL AND FAIRLY CLEAN. NO RUST AND THE ORIGINAL CENTER CAP FOR STEERING WHEEL IS PRESENT. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND RUBBER IS BRAND NEW. THE DOOR GLASS HAS NEW GASKETS, AND FRAME RAILS FROM CHEVY DUTY. THE DASHBOARD WAS SANDED PRIMERED, AND COATED WITH THE ORIGINAL CREAM COLOR ALSO PURCHASED FROM CHEVY DUTY. THE DOOR PANELS ARE NEW AS WELL. THE TANK IS PERFECT AND THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE TURN SIGNAL MECHANISM. THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS AND REAR TAIL LIGHTS ARE STILL IN THE BOX AND COME WITH THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK RUNS WELL FOR A 1953. THIS IS NOT A SOUPED UP ENGINE BUT AN ORIGINAL ENGINE, PLS DONT ASK ME IF IT COULD BE DRIVEN TO NEVADA FROM FLORIDA, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT. THE ENGINE WAS TAKEN OUT, FIREWALL PAINTED, VEHICLE WAS CONVERTED TO 12 VOLT, AND I'M SURE I HAVE AN ORIGINAL GENERATOR IF YOU WANT IT. THE REAR WATER SEAL WAS REPLACED, AND SEVERAL ENGINE GASKETS WERE REPLACED, AND ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY PAINTED AND DETAILED. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE AS ORIGINAL. THIS TRUCK IS EXCELLENT FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS AN ORIGINAL TRUCK, WITH AN EXCELLENT BODY AND FRAME, AND NOT SOMEONES RUST BUCKET. IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GREAT IN THE EPOXY PRIMER BUT YOU CAN PAINT TO SUIT OR KEEP THIS LOOK. A STEEL SHEET WAS WELDED TO THE INSIDE OF THE BED WHERE THE TREATED WOOD PLANKS WERE PLACED. THIS ENSURES THAT THE BED IS STURDY AND GIVES STABILITY TO THE TRUCK. FLOATING WOOD BEDS THOUGH ORIGINAL ARE RELATIVELY IMPRACTICAL, AND LIKE 6 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, SOME THING NOT WORTH KEEPING. IVE GOT WELL OVER 12000 INVESTED IN THIS RESTORATION AND I NEED THE ROOM IN MY WAREHOUSE AND TOYS HAVE TO GO. PLEASE SEND ME YOUR NUMBER AND ILL CALL YOU, OR EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS. CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. THANKS On Apr-27-11 at 06:01:41 PDT, seller added the following information:
