PLEASE CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. . . GO TO ANY OF THE MAJOR BOOKSELLERS, BORDERS, BARNES & NOBLES OR YOUR LOCAL NEWSTAND. PURCHASE A COPY OF THE "OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE". THIS PERIODICAL IS CONSIDERED TO BE "THE" PREMIER VALUE GUIDE BY MOST TRUE OLD CAR ENTHUSIASTS. ACCORDING TO THIS PUBLICATION-- THE CHEVROLET PICKUP FROM 1948 THROUGH 1953 IS RATED TO BE THE MOST VALUABLE CHEVROLET PICKUP IN THE COLLECTOR VEHICLE MARKETPLACE TODAY ! ! ! WITH A CONSERVATIVE TOP VALUE OF $31,000 ! ! OUR '50 IS RATED EVEN HIGHER THAN THE ULTRA SCARCE PICKUPS OF THE EARLY 1930'S AND HAS A VALUE WHICH FAR EXCEEDS THE HEAVY DUTY IRON OF THE MUSCULAR 1960'S.. FIRST TIME OFFERED ! ! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFFERED TO YOU LOYAL EBAYERS AND BY NOW, MOST OF YOU KNOW OF OUR SUCCESS. WE HAVE LISTED OVER 31 OF OUR ANTIQUE AND CLASSIC CARS ON EBAY AND HAVE SOLD NEARLY EVERY ONE ON THE VERY FIRST LISTING. OUR SUCCESS IS DUE TO OUR LOW REALISTIC RESERVES, AS OPPOSED TO THOSE BARRETT-JACKSON WATCHERS OUT THERE WHO FEEL THAT SELLING THEIR COLLECTOR CAR IS EQUIVALENT TO WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT. ONE SHOULD ALSO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NOT OUR LIVELIHOOD, BUT RATHER, A LIFE LONG PASSION. WE TRULY LOVE OLD CARS!!! 'ORIGINAL' ONLY LIVES ONCE WHEN IT COMES TO ANTIQUES, WE'VE LEARNED ONE IMPORTANT LESSON.....DON'T MESS WITH THE PATINA......IF SOMETHING IS OLD, LOOKS OLD AND IS STILL IN SERVICABLE CONDITION---DON'T MESS WITH IT ! ! ORIGINAL ONLY EXISTS ONCE IN AN ANTIQUE'S LIFETIME.... OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS NOT PERFECT, IT SHOWS SCRATCHES, IT SHOWS DENTS AND THERE IS A STORY TO BE TOLD FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE. THE PAINT IS THIN, THE COLOR ILL-MATCHED, BUT EVEN WITH ALL OF THESE IMPERFECTIONS, WE WILL STILL GUARANTEE A CROWD ON 'ANY STREET', USA ..AS A VENDOR TRUCK IT WOULD BE UNSURPASSED AND IT IS FULLY READY TO CARRY YOUR LOAD. FROM T-SHIRTS TO TURNIPS THIS VEHICLE WOULD DEFINITELY BE A CROWD-PLEASER ! ! +++THEY CALLED THEM 'NEW VUE'+++ MANY COLLECTORS AGREE, THAT THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF THE EARLY CHEVROLET TRUCK IS THE ADVANCED DESIGN SERIES OF 1948 THROUGH 1953. MOST PREFER THE HALF TON WITH THE SHORT BOX AND THE 5 WINDOW CAB, WITH THE SMALL CURVED REAR WINDOWS. THESE WINDOWS WERE DESIGNED TO PREVENT BLIND SPOTS AND THEY WERE CALLED "NEW VUE"..THEY WERE AN EXTRA COST OPTION (#387) AND, DUE TO THE DIFFERING OF THE INSIDE SHEET METAL, THEY COULD NOT BE ADDED ON OR 'CUT IN' TO THE THREE WINDOW VERSION. . ANOTHER PREFERENCE WITH OUR TRUCK IS THE STANDARD 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THIS IS MUCH PREFERRED OVER THE FOUR SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH THE GRANNY LOW. THESE FOUR SPEEDS WERE VERY POPULAR WITH THE FARMERS REQUIRING A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK AND THEY HAD THE SHIFT LINKAGE ON THE FLOOR.. OUR 3 SPEED OFFERS A SHIFT LINKAGE THAT IS UP ON THE COLUMN AND OUT OF THE WAY... THREE PASSENGERS CAN SIT COMFORTABLY IN OUR TRUCK AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND WON'T ACCUSE YOU OF GROPING HER LEGS. THE THREE SPEED ALSO INDICATES THAT THIS TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED AS A LIGHT DUTY HAULER.. IN OUR CASE, IT WAS PROBABLY TRANSPORTING GOOSE FEATHERS TO A PILLOW FACTORY. IT HAS A LIGHT GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF ONLY 4600 POUNDS AND A CURB WEIGHT OF 3100 POUNDS.. NOW, IF WE WERE FORCED TO DO THE MATH, THAT SOULDS LIKE A PAYLOAD OF ONLY 1500 POUNDS MINUS THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGERS.. NOT EXACTLY HEAVY DUTY HAULING, IS IT? ACCORDING TO THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER THAT IS FOUND IN THE LEFT DOOR JAM, OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE KANSAS CITY ASSEMBLY PLANT IN JULY OF 1950... STOVE BOLT---SIX CYLINDER MATCHING NUMBERS OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS POWERED BY IT'S ORIGINAL 216 CUBIC INCH, SIX CYLINDER ENGINE...IT'S SERIAL NUMBER PREFIX IS "HBA" AND IT IS STAMPED ON THE BLOCK BEHIND THE DISTRIBUTOR.. ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL CATALOG OF CHEVY TRUCK ID NUMBERS PUBLISHED BY CARS AND PARTS MAGAZINE, THIS ASSEMBLY IS ORIGINAL AND IS THE VERY SAME ENGINE THAT WAS INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY OVER 60 YEARS AGO ! ! IT HAS A RATING OF 92 HORSEPOWER AT 3600 RPM.. THESE ENGINES DERIVED THE STOVE BOLT NICKNAME WHEN THEY WERE FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1929.. THEY WERE CONSIDERED AN ENGINEERING MARVEL AND IT SURPRISED MANY TO LEARN THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE EXTERIOR ENGINE BOLTS COULD BE PURCHASED IN THE STOVE BOLT DEPARTMENT AT ANY SMALL TOWN HARDWARE STORE. AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE VIDEO, OUR LITTLE TRUCK RUNS EXCELLENT, SHIFTS THROUGH ALL OF ITS GEARS CORRECTLY AND ITS STEERING IS TIGHT AND TRUE. WE HAVE INSTALLED A BRAND NEW CLUTCH PLATE, PRESSURE PLATE AND THROWOUT BEARING.. A NEW RADIATOR WAS ALSO INSTALLED KEEPING OUR TRUCK COOL AND EFFICIENT. WE HAVE ALSO INVESTED IN A NEW EXHAUST PIPE, MUFFLER AND TAILPIPE. HEATER DELETE FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE RARE AND UNUSUAL, THERE IS NOTHING MORE INTRIGUING THAN A UNIT WITH FACTORY HEATER DELETE.. OUR '50 DOES NOT HAVE A HEATER AND ABSOLUTELY NEVER HAD ONE..WE HAVE A HEATER THAT IS AVAILABLE FROM OUR OLD TRUCK "BONE YARD" BUT WE ARE RELUCTANT TO PERFORM ANY CHANGE ON SUCH A UNIQUE ASPECT. THAT BEING SAID, IF YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO ADD A HEATER, WE'LL PROVIDE IT ABSOLUTELY FREE ! ! ****ORIGINAL 6 VOLT POWER **** THOUGH NOT RESTORED, WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR TRUCK IN THE LAST LAST FEW MONTHS... WE HAVE CLEANED THE CARBURETOR AND INSTALLED A BRAND NEW GAS TANK AND SENDING UNIT.. THEN, TO MAKE VERY SURE THAT ALL OF THIS CLEAN FUEL REACHED THE ENGINE, WE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW DELCO FUEL PUMP..THE ORIGINAL IGNITION SWITCH AND FOOT OPERATED STARTER HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND ALL OF THE GAGES WORK CORRECTLY.. OUR TIRED OLD SPEEDOMTER WAS NOT IN ANY CONDITION TO RESTORE, SO WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW ONE FROM CLASSIC PARTS OF KANSAS CITY.. NOT ONLY DOES IT WORK WONDERFULLY, IT IS ALSO GUARANTEED FOR ONE FULL YEAR. THE HORN ALSO WORKS AND RETAINS USE OF THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL HORN BUTTON ..ALSO, IN THE ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE JUST INSTALLED A BRAND NEW 6 VOLT BATTERY AND A FACTORY REBUILT 6 VOLT ORIGINAL STYLE GENERATOR & VOLTAGE REGULATOR.. OUR LITTLE TRUCK ALSO RECEIVED A FRESH TUNE UP, USING GENUINE DELCO PARTS FROM OUR GM PARTS DEPARTMENT. THIS TUNEUP INCLUDED NEW SPARK PLUGS, A NEW SET OF POINTS, A NEW CONDENSOR AND A NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP & ROTOR. THE BODY OF THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN TOTALLY RESTORED AND HAS SUFFERED SOME SLIGHT DAMAGE DURING THE LAST 60 YEARS ! THE WHEELS ARE 16 INCH FACTORY ORIGINALS WITH THE CORRECT HUBCAP CLIPS STILL IN PLACE.. WE HAVE SANDBLASTED EACH THOROUGHLY AND REPAINTED AND PRIMED THEM CORRECTLY..TO THIS WE INSTALLED THE CORRECT REPRODUCTION HUBCAPS..ALSO NEWLY ADDED ARE THE NEW REPRODUCTION, CHROME REAR BUMPER AND THE NEW FRONT HOOD BADGE. THE FRONT FILLER PANEL, THAT FITS BETWEEN THE FRONT BUMPER AND GRILLE, HAD ALSO SUSTAINED DAMAGE AND WAS LIKEWISE REPLACED WITH A NEW METAL REPRODUCTION FROM JIM CARTERS OF INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI. ORIGINAL 600x16 INCH TIRES THE TIRES ARE LIKE BRAND NEW. THEY ARE THE CORRECT 600 x 16 INCH BLACKWALL TIRES. THESE ARE EXACT DUPLICATES TO THE TIRES WHICH COULD BE PURCHASED ON THE VERY DATE THAT OUR TRUCK WAS PRODUCED BACK IN 1950 ! THE SPARE TIRE IS NOT NEW BUT HAS PLENTY OF TREAD AND IS MOUNTED CORRECTLY ON THE ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE CARRIER UNDER THE BED.. THE OLD BED WOOD HAS BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT CLEAR YELLOW PINE.. THIS WOOD WAS PROCURED FROM THE FOLKS AT CLASSIC PARTS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI AND IT IS JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL.. IT IS GROOVED AND SPACED CORRECTLY AND WE HAVE REPLACED THE BED STRIPS WITH THE ORIGINAL REPRODUCTION PARTS.. ONE OF THE AREAS THAT ALWAYS SHOWS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DETERIORATION IS THE FRONT BED PANEL.. THIS IS QUITE TYPICAL ON THESE TRUCKS, AS THIS IS WHERE LEAVES AND OTHER DEBRIS TEND TO COLLECT THROUGH THE MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. WE FOUND THAT OURS DID NEED REPLACEMENT. JIM CARTER SUPPLIED US WITH THE CORRECT REPRODUCTION PANEL.. IT'S BRAND NEW, HEAVY GAUGE METAL, AND IT LOOKS GREAT! THE BRAKES ALSO HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE WORK PERFORMED ON THEM, INCLUDING A NEW MASTER CYLINDER, FOUR NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, TWO NEW FLEX HOSES AND FOUR NEW BRAKE SHOES. THE REAR EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES WERE SEIZED IN POSITION AND WOULD NOT MOVE AN INCH..WE FELT EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO FIND TWO, NEW, OLD STOCK CABLES IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA. THE BRAKES ARE NOW QUITE FUNCTIONAL, INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND THEY SHOULD PROVIDE YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE NEW OWNER. THIS BEING SAID, WE STILL INSIST THAT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN LOOK OVER THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE UPON ARRIVAL AT IT'S NEW HOME.. FOUR BRAND NEW SHOCKS WITH ALL THE NECESSARY HARDWARE WAS ALSO INSTALLED. THIS CORRECTED OUR SQUEAKY SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WE HAVE ALSO PURCHASED AND INSTALLED A BRAND NEW SEAT COVER FROM CLASSIC PARTS OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. THIS IS MADE OUT OF THE CORRECT REPRODUCTION MATERIAL AND IS STITCHED AND SEAMED CORRECTLY. JIM CARTER RESTORATIONS SUPPLIED US WITH THE CORRECT DOOR PANEL MATERIAL AND A NEW HEADLINER WAS ALSO INSTALLED.. NEW CHOKE AND THROTTLE CABLES AND NUMEROUS OTHER INCIDENTAL PARTS HAVE ALSO BEEN INSTALLED. WE ALSO WISH TO THANK OUR FRIEND JERRY RIVERS FROM JERRY'S ANTIQUE AUTO PARTS IN INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND APPRECIATE HIS VALUABLE ASSISTANCE. ---PLEASE CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER--- ONE OF THE PRECAUTIONS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN BY THE OLD TRUCK BUYER IS IN REGARDS TO THE SERIAL NUMBER.. IN THE EARLY 1940s AND 1950s, MANY STATES FOUGHT TENACIOUSLY TO THWART THE PROLIFIC MOTOR VEHICLE THIEVES.. LEGISLATORS IN SOME STATES DETERMINED THAT THE TRUE SERIAL NUMBER SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE ENGINE, RATHER THAN THE NUMBER THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE EASILY REMOVED DOOR PLATE ... THIS WORKED OUT FINE UNTIL THE OLD ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND THE SERIAL NUMBER BECAME DISCARDED.. NOW, YEARS LATER THIS IS BECOMING AN INCREASINGLY SERIOUS PROBLEM, WITH TITLES TRANSFERRED THAT SHOW A SERIAL NUMBER THAT DOES NOT MATCH... PLEASE NOTICE THE TWO PICTURES REGARDING OUR OFFERING, AS WE HAVE ILLUSTRATED THAT OUR TITLE AND OUR SERIAL NUMBER TAG MATCH PERFECTLY.. MANY CANNOT MAKE THIS CLAIM ! ! ! OVERALL IMPRESSIONS AS ONE BEGINS TO LOOK FOR THE PERFECT 1947-1953 ADVANCED DESIGN TRUCK, IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT AFFORDABILITY MAY BECOME AN ISSUE. THE AVID EBAY WATCHER CAN ATEST THAT MANY OF THESE TRUCKS, TOTALLY RESTORED, ARE NOW BEING SOLD AT PRICES WELL OVER $30,000 AND TWO CROSSED THE BARRETT-JACKSON AUCTION BLOCK LAST JANUARY AT OVER $45,000.... WE OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE.. OUR LITTLE '50 RUNS EXCELLENT AND DRAWS A CROWD IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO RESTORE OUR TRUCK, YOU WOULD HAVE AN EXCELLENT START --OR-- YOU MAY WANT TO COMPLETE A TOTAL RESTORATION LIKE JOHNNY CASH--ONE PIECE AT A TIME...................BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND, WE ARE SELLING THIS TRUCK AS A RESTORATION PROJECT....IT IS NOT A PERFECT TRUCK---IT IS NOT A RESTORED TRUCK! ! ! RUST FREE ?? OR IS THERE SUCH A THING ? ? WHILE WE WOULD NEVER PROCLAIM ANY OF OUR TRUCKS AS TOTALLY RUST FREE, WE CAN SAY THAT THIS ONE IS VERY SOLID. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION, ONE WILL FIND THAT THE FLOOR HAS HAD A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF REPAIRS DONE TO THE SHEET METAL. WE BELIEVE THAT EACH OF THESE REPAIRS WILL SATISFY THE NEW OWNER AND THE FLOOR EXHIBITS A VERY SOLID FEEL. WE CAN SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ADDITIONAL REPAIRS AND THEY ALSO SEEM SATISFACTORY TO THE SELLER.. HOWEVER, WITH THIS BEING SAID, ONE SHOULD BE AWARE THAT WE ARE NOT MAKING CLAIMS OF A TOTAL, 100 %, RUST FREE TRUCK... AND TO BE HONEST, WE ARE SOMEWHAT DOUBTFUL THAT ONE TRULY EXISTS.. 100% COMPLETE ! ! OUR '50 IS COMPLETE---100% COMPLETE..IF YOU FIND ANYTHING MISSING ON THIS LITTLE TRUCK, WE WILL REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE AND PRE-PAY THE FREIGHT DIRECT TO YOUR DOOR (USA RESIDENTS ONLY).. IT WILL BE PROCURED FROM ONE OF THE UNITS IN OUR EXTENSIVE "OLD TRUCK" SALVAGE YARD. WHEN WE LIST A TRUCK, WE THINK WE SHOULD REALLY SELL THE WHOLE TRUCK ! ! BUY THIS TRUCK AND WE'LL DONATE $100 TO 'CARE' THE CLINTON ANIMAL RESCUE ENDEAVOR (CARE) TOOK OVER THE CLINTON ANIMAL SHELTER IN DECEMBER, 2007.. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS RUN BY CITY OF CLINTON, MISSOURI AND FORCED EUTHANASIAS WERE COMMON. THIS WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO OVERPOPULATION..SINCE THAT DATE, THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE SHELTER INTO A CLEAN, HEALTHY AND HAPPY ENVIRONMENT. THE DRAP GREY WALLS WERE REPAINTED WITH BRIGHT, CLEAN COLORS AND THE LOCAL FOLKS HAVE RESPONDED IN A VERY POSITIVE MANNER. SINCE 2007 WE HAVE ADOPTED OUT NEARLY 2200 HEALTHY, HAPPY, (SPAYED & NEUTERED) PETS WITH 0 EUTHANASIAS (EXCEPT FOR HEALTH RELATED ISSUES)...TO LEARN HOW YOU CAN BECOME A PARTNER IN OUR GROUP, CONTACT SHELTER DIRECTOR HEIDI SAPP AT 1-660-351-0472.. ===ABOUT US=== JIM RAYSIK CHRYSLER/GMC HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 23 YEARS. WE ARE LICENSED, BONDED, INSURED AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A FEEDBACK RATING OF 100%. WE HAVE EARNED CHRYSLER'S HIGHEST AWARD FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FOR OVER 10 YEARS IN A ROW AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU AS OUR NEXT CUSTOMER. BUT WHERE THE HECK IS CLINTON, MISSOURI??? CLINTON IS LOCATED ABOUT 70 MILES SOUTHEAST OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI ON THE SHORES OF BEAUTIFUL TRUMAN LAKE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS VEHICLE FIRST HAND, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU VISIT...
