1938 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Pickup Truck 100% Complete, solid, rare project with tons of very hard to find parts. I pulled this truck out a barn in the Texas desert about 3 years ago and brought it with me to sunny SoCal. It is incredibly solid! Some small areas of rust on the running boards, and a couple spots on the fenders, but that's it. Dry and straight. AND a beautiful set of OEM front fenders goes with it! This is a very straight forward project. I just am backed up with unfinished projects at the moment, so I've decided to find good homes for a couple of them. I'll be listing a '41 Pontiac Streamliner Coupe in the next day or so. If you're anything like me, you know how hard it is to pass up a cool car that you can save! :) Please read the entire description, because this project is special. I prefer stock vehicles, especially models that typically get beat up or chopped like trucks. You just don't see originals that often anymore. So, my intention was to do a 100 point resto on this one. I've spent the last 2 years gathering OEM and NOS parts to complete this project and make it the finest of the fine. As I said, the body on this truck is great for its age. Rear fenders will need some work, but are useable. Front are too, but I found a nicer original set of fenders that are included in the auction. The hood is workable, but is bent at the tip. Previous owner sprayed it in grey primer before it was put in the barn. Original 216 Stovebolt straight 6, 3 speed trans. Truck was originally Export Blue. Really beautiful color when combined with the red and blue accent stripes on the chrome and chevy bowties. This is a partial list of the parts that will accompany this truck.

This truck needs a lot of elbow grease, but it will be a stunning work of automotive art when completed. It is sold as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. It rolls and steers. No brakes, but it stops with the transmission. I do NOT have a title for this vehicle. It will be sold on a BILL OF SALE. Shipping is entirely the responsibility of the winner. I will help load. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS! Make sure you have your funds in place BEFORE you make an offer. Once your offer is accepted, it's yours. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is to be made via PayPal within 48 hours of the auction's close, with the remaining funds to be paid in cash or cashier's check upon pickup. The truck MUST be picked up within 3 weeks of the auction's close, as I have little space to store it. Best of luck!
