1951 CHEVROLET 5 WINDOW CAB SHORT BED TOTALLY ORIGINAL FANTASTIC PATINA ---A TRUE MATCHING NUMBERS TRUCK--- ========================================== OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE-TOP VALUE RATED VEHICLE CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF...GO TO ANY OF THE MAJOR BOOKSELLERS, BORDERS, BARNES & NOBLE OR MAYBE YOUR LOCAL NEWSTAND.. PURCHASE A COPY OF THE 'OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE'. THIS PERIODICAL IS CONSIDERED TO BE "THE" PREMIER VALUE PRICE GUIDE BY MOST OLD CAR ENTHUSIASTS... ACCORDING TO THIS PUBLICATION, THE CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK FROM 1947 THROUGH 1953 IS RATED TO BE THE MOST VALUABLE CHEVROLET PICKUP IN THE COLLECTOR VEHICLE MARKETPLACE TODAY !!! THESE TRUCKS ARE RATED EVEN HIGHER THAN THE ULTRA SCARCE PICKUPS OF THE EARLY 1930's AND THEY HAVE A VALUE WHICH FAR EXCEEDS THE HEAVY DUTY IRON OF THE MUSCULAR 1960's..IN FACT, AT THE MECUUM INDIANA SALE, ONE OF THESE LITTLE TRUCKS JUST BROKE OVER THE $39,000 MARK ! FIRST TIME OFFERED THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS LITTLE '51 CHEVY HAS EVER BEEN OFFERED TO YOU LOYAL EBAYERS AND, BY NOW, MOST OF YOU KNOW OF OUR NEAR PERFECT RECORD.. WE HAVE LISTED AND SOLD OVER 35 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 CARS 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 AND TRUCKS.. '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 SERVICEABLE CONDITION---DON'T MESS WITH IT ! ! ORIGINAL ONLY EXISTS ONCE IN AN ANTIQUE'S LIFETIME...AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE OTHERS THAT AGREE.. ONE OF THE TOP SELLING 1/18th DIECAST MODELS IS OF A CHEVY TRUCK THAT LOOKS AMAZINGLY LIKE OUR OFFERING...SURFACE RUST AND ALL....IS THERE A CHANCE I CAN GET A CUT OF THOSE PROCEEDS ? AND HOW ABOUT ALL OF THOSE PAINTINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH "OUR TRUCK" OUT BY THE BARN..WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO CONVEY IS SIMPLY THIS --- OUR TRUCK AIN'T PERFECT, IT SHOWS SCRATCHES, IT SHOW DENTS AND THERE IS A STORY TO BE TOLD FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE, AND WHILE WE READILY ADMIT THAT THE PAINT IS THIN OR TOTALLY NON-EXSISTANT, WE ARE ALSO QUICK TO POINT OUT HOW SOLID THE METAL TRULY IS.. DOES IT HAVE IMPERFECTIONS ? ABSOLUTELY ! ! BUT EVEN WITH THESE DEFICIENCIES, 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 ! ! 5 WINDOW CAB--THEY CALLED THEM "NEW VUE" MOST COLLECTORS AGREE THAT THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF THE EARLY CHEVROLET TRUCKS IS THE 'ADVANCED DESIGN' SERIES PRODUCED FROM 1947 THROUGH 1953..MANY PREFER THE '51 SHORTBED, 1/2 TON, AS THESE WERE THE ONLY LIGHT DUTY CHEVYS WITH THE VENT WING WINDOWS, THE TUBULAR SHOCK ABSORBERS AND THE ORIGINAL LEVER TYPE DOOR HANDLES. THE SMALL CURVED REAR WINDOWS ARE ALSO A HIGHLY DESIRABLE OPTION.. THESE WERE CALLED "NEW VUE" BY CHEVROLET. THEY WERE AN EXTRA COST ITEM ($26.50) AND, DUE TO THE DIFFERENCES IN THE INSIDE SHEET METAL, THEY COULD NOT BE ADDED ON, POST PRODUCTION. OURS ALSO HAS THE LIGHTEST GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF ANY OF THE 1951 CHEVY TRUCKS.. THIS WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LIGHT DUTY HAULER AND AS SUCH, LIVED A RATHER PAMPERED LIFE..IN OUR CASE, IT WAS PROBABLY TRANSPORTING GOOSE FEATHERS TO A PILLOW FACTORY. THE WEIGHT RATING IS ONLY 4800 POUNDS AND IT HAS A CURB WEIGHT OF ONLY 3100 POUNDS.. NOW, IF WE WERE FORCED TO DO THE MATH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PAYLOAD OF ONLY 1700 POUNDS MINUS THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGERS.. NOT EXACTLY HEAVY DUTY HAULING, IS IT ? ? ACCORDING TO THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER THAT IS FOUND IN THE FRONT LEFT DOOR JAM, OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE KANSAS CITY ASSEMBLY PLANT IN SEPTEMBER, 1951. STOVE BOLT SIX CYLINDER MATCHING NUMBERS 'JBA' PREFIX STOVE BOLT POWER ! ! OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS POWERED BY IT'S ORIGINAL 216 CUBIC INCH, SIX CYLINDER ENGINE... IT'S SERIAL NUMBER PREFIX IS J B A , IT IS STAMPED ON THE BLOCK BEHIND THE DISTRIBUTOR AND IT INDICATES THAT IT WAS BUILT AT THE FLINT, MICHIGAN ENGINE ASSEMBLY PLANT IN 1951.. 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 NEARLY 60 YEARS AGO ! !---PLEASE REFERENCE OUR CORRESPONDING PICTURES .. IT HAS A RATING OF 85 HORSEPOWER AT 3300 RPM..ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, 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 ATTACHMENTS WERE 1/4 INCH BOLTS WITH 20 THREADS PER INCH...THESE WERE THE VERY SAME BOLTS THAT WERE USED BY MANY WOOD STOVE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TIME, THUS; STOVE BOLT SIX.. AS CAN BE SEEN IN OUR VIDEO, OUR LITTLE TRUCK RUNS EXCELLENT, SHIFTS THROUGH ALL OF IT'S GEARS CORRECTLY AND IT'S STEERING IS TIGHT AND TRUE..IT HAS THE FOUR SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS THE SHIFTER ON THE FLOOR. THIS WAS AN OPTIONAL EXTRA COST TRANSMISSION AND WAS A HEAVIER BUILT THAN THE STANDARD, CAR LIKE, 3 SPEED. HEAVIER IN THAT IT USED BEARINGS IN MANY PLACES WHERE THE LIGHTER 3 SPEED ONLY HAD BUSHINGS.. BOTH WORKED WELL BUT THE HEAVIER BUILT FOUR SPEED WAS DEFINITELY BUILT FOR A LONGER LIFE. ==BRAND NEW GLASS== OUR OLD WINDSHIELD WAS STARTING TO DELAMINATE AROUND THE EDGES AND A FEW CRACKS HAD DEVELOPED, THEREFORE, TWO BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD PANELS WERE PROCURED AND HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY INSTALLED. THIS ALSO NECESSITATED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FITTED RUBBER WINDSHIELD GASKET... OUR BODY SHOP CREW TOOK CARE OF THIS SEEMINGLY DIFFICULT TASK AND JACK, TOM AND JIMMY MADE THE JOB LOOK EASY.. WE'VE INSTALLED ALL THESE NEW PARTS- AND MORE ! ! ! THOUGH NOT RESTORED, WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR LITTLE TRUCK IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.. OUR ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS HAVE JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE CARBURETOR AND THEY ALSO INSTALLED A BRAND NEW GAS TANK AND GAS TANK SENDING UNIT. THEN, TO MAKE VERY SURE THAT ALL OF THIS CLEAN FUEL REACHED THE ENGINE, WE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THE ORIGINAL IGNITION SWITCH AND FOOT OPERATED STARTER HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND ALL OF THE GAGES WORK CORRECTLY..THE SPEEDOMETER DOES WORK BUT DOES HAVE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INACCURACIES. IT SHOWS ONLY 44,000 MILES AND WHILE WE CANNOT CLAIM WITH CERTAINTY THAT IT IS CORRECT, IT DOES ADD TO OUR TRUCK'S OVERALL STORY LINE..ONE CAN CERTAINLY REBUILD IT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE OR WE CAN PROCURE A REPRODUCED VERSION FOR AN ADDITIONAL $100 AFTER THE SALE IS COMPLETE.. INSTALLATION WOULD BE AT NO CHARGE ! THE ORIGINAL -BEEP-BEEP-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 BRAND NEW TAIL-LIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW GLASS LENS... THEN OUR TRUCK RECEIVED A FRESH TUNE-UP USING GENUINE DELCO PARTS FROM OUR GM PARTS DEPARTMENT. THIS TUNEUP INCLUDED A NEW SET OF SPARK PLUGS, A NEW SET OF POINTS, A NEW CONDENSOR, A NEW SET OF PLUG WIRES AND A NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP & ROTOR. AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOCKING UP YOUR VALUABLES, AS BOTH OF OUR DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK CORRECTLY.. AND PER FACTORY SPECS OUR TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH ONLY ONE EXTERIOR LOCK CYLINDER. IT IS LOCATED IN THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) DOOR AND OURS LOCKS PROPERLY AND IT IS KEYED CORRECTLY ! ! THE WHEELS ARE THE 16 INCH FACTORY ORIGINALS WITH THE CORRECT HUBCAP CLIPS STILL IN PLACE. WE HAVE SANDBLASTED EACH THOROUGHLY AND PAINTED AND PRIMED THEM CORRECTLY. TO THIS, WE INSTALLED THE CORRECT REPRODUCTION HUBCAPS.. THESE WERE PURCHASED AT JIM CARTER'S TRUCK PARTS IN INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI.. ALSO NEW, ARE THE REPRODUCTION, CHROME FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS. NEW BRAKES THE BRAKES ON OUR TRUCK HAVE BEEN TOTALLY REDONE.. NEW MASTER CYLINDER, 4 NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, NEW BRAKE LINES, 3 NEW FLEX HOSES AND A BRAND NEW SET OF BRAKE SHOES..THE ORIGINAL REAR EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES WERE IN GREAT CONDITION AND 'BRAKEMAN' BOB HAS THEM LUBED AND WORKING PER FACTORY SPECS. OUR VIDEO SHOWS THAT THE BRAKES, BOTH SERVICE AND EMERGENCY, NOW WORK GREAT.. THIS BEING SAID, WE STILL MUST INSIST THAT ALL SAFETY RELATED ITEMS BE CHECKED OVER THOROUGHLY FOLLOING OUR TRUCK'S JOURNEY TO ITS NEW HOME. SWISH---SWISH ! FICKEN WIPER SERVICE OF BABYLON, NEW YORK, REBUILT OUR VACUUM WIPER MOTOR BACK TO 'LIKE NEW' CONDITION. THEY HAVE REBUILT DOZENS FOR US AND EVERY ONE HAS GIVEN US COMPLETE SATISFACTION.. OUR OLD WIPER MOTOR WAS WORKING, BUT IT WAS MOVING REALLY, REALLY==== S - L - O - W AFTER 60 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE ......NOW, IT IS JUST LIKE NEW, SWISHES REALLY FAST, (SEE VIDEO) AND IS GUARANTEED FOR THREE FULL YEARS.. WE HAVE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW VACUUM HOSE, NEW GROMMETS ON THE REMOTE LINKAGE ALONG WITH ALL NEW ARMS AND BLADES... YOU WILL BE PLEASED ! DOES THIS MAKE IT A WOODY ? ? BRAND NEW BED WOOD PLUS 69 NEW CARRIAGE BOLTS-(BUT WHO'S COUNTING?) OUR BED WAS TAKEN COMPLETELY OFF OF THE FRAME SO THAT WE COULD REPLACE THE WOOD CORRECTLY.. EVERY SINGLE PIECE ! ! IT IS CLEAR YELLOW PINE THAT HAS BEEN KILN DRIED AND SLOTTED/ GROOVED AS PER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SPECS.. THIS WAS PURCHASED AT CLASSIC-PARTS OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI AND IT FITS WONDERFULLY..AT THE SAME TIME, WE ALSO REPLACED THE METAL DIVIDER STRIPS AND CORNER, OR RIGHT ANGLE STRIPS, ALONG WITH EVERY SINGLE CARRIAGE BOLT..ALL 69 OF THEM..THIS ALSO REQUIRED THE WE REPLACE THE WOODEN BED MOUNTING BLOCKS AS WELL.... IT LOOKS GREAT AND THE WOOD IS PAINTED BLACK, JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL.... ORIGINAL 650 x 16 INCH TIRES THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW.. THEY ARE THE CORRECT 16 INCH TIRES AND, AS WE MENTIONED ABOVE, WE SANDBLASTED AND PAINTED THE ORIGINAL 16 INCH WHEELS CORRECTLY.. WE ALSO PURCHASED A SET OF BRAND NEW TUBES AND , OF COURSE, THE NEW CHROME PLATED REPRODUCTION HUBCAPS.. YOU ARE NOW READY TO ROLL ! PLEASE MAKE ME A STAR PLEASE WATCH MY VIDEO AND MAKE ME A STAR====NO, I REALIZE I'LL NEVER BE LIKE VALENTINO BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD TAKE TIME TO VIEW THE VIDEOS THAT ARE PICTURED ABOVE AND BELOW.. THEY ARE ONLY A FEW MINUTES LONG AND THEY ANSWER SO MANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE GENERALLY ASKED.. ONE IS OF THE VIDEO TEST DRIVE AND THE SECOND ONE SHOWS THE NEW PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. BELOW, YOU WILL FIND A WALKAROUND OF OUR OLD CAR MUSEUM..IF YOU HAVE REGULAR SLOW SPEED INTERNET, IT MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES FOR IT TO TOTALLY LOAD, BUT PLEASE WATCH IT. I KEEP MY FACE HIDDEN AND THE INFORMATION IS INVALUABLE.. 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 LATE 40s AND EARLY 1950s, MANY STATES FOUGHT TENACIOUSLY TO THWART THE PROLIFIC MOTOR VEHICLE THIEVES.. LEGISLATORS IN SOME STATES DETERMINED THAT THE TRUE SEIRAL 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. IT WAS SENT OUT IN THE SCRAP... NOW, YEARS LATER, THIS IS BECOMING AN INCREASINGLY SERIOUS PROBLEM, WITH TITLES TRANSFERRED THAT SHOW A SERIAL NUMBER THAT DOES NOT MATCH----ANYTHING.... PLEASE NOTICE THE TWO PICTURES REGARDING OUR OFFERING.. WE HAVE ILLUSTRATED THAT OUR TITLE AND SERIAL NUMBER TAG MATCH PERFECTLY.. MANY CANNOT MAKE THIS CLAIM.. OVERALL IMPRESSIONS AS ONE BEGINS TO LOOK FOR THE PERFECT 1947 THROUGH 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 '51 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 BUILT HIS CAR---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 HAVE NEVER PROCLAIMED ANY OF OUR TRUCKS TO BE TOTALLY RUST FREE, WE CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS ONE IS VERY CLOSE... HISTORY INDICATES THAT THIS TRUCK SPENT THE MAJORITY OF IT'S LIFE IN DRY CENTRAL KANSAS-----DRY -DRY- CENTRAL KANSAS... WE HAVE INCLUDED SEVERAL PICTURES TO ILLUSTRATE JUST HOW SOLID OUR TRUCK TRULY IS..MOST TRUCK ENTHUSIASTS WILL TELL YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR THE CAB CORNERS AND THE LOWER DOOR AREAS.. THESE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE "ACHILLES' HEEL OF THE '47 THROUGH '53 MODELS.. WE READILY ADMIT THAT THE ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR TRUCK DID HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PERFORATION. OUR BODY SHOP WELDED IN A HEAVY DUTY REPAIR PANEL AND WE THINK IT IS ACTUALLY THICKER THAN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHEET METAL. THE ONE ON THE RIGHT ALSO SHOWS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF PERFORATION, SMALLER THAN THE END OF YOUR LITTLE FINGER..FURTHER, WE ALSO MADE A COUPLE OF SMALL REPAIRS TO THE FLOOR. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE PICTURED CLEARLY IN OUR AD.. ONLY IN YOUR MIND THE HUMAN BRAIN IS A WONDERFUL THING-- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY..THEN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE TRUCK THAT WE HAVE PLACED BEFORE YOU AND NOT THE PERFECT EXAMPLE THAT RESIDES ONLY IN YOUR MIND.. WE DO NOT WANT ANY BUYER TO BE DISAPPOINTED, EXPECTING THE PERFECT TRUCK.. AS AN EXAMPLE; OUR TRUCK LOOKS GOOD IN THE PICTURES BUT THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS DENTS AND IMPERFECTIONS. THE SAFEST WAY TO PURCHASE A TRUCK ON EBAY IS WITH AN INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL. MAY WE SUGGEST TWO INDEPENDENT BODY SHOPS WITHIN OUR AREA. THEY ARE; FRISTOE'S BODY SHOP, PHONE 1-660-885-2622 OR BARTLETT'S BODY SHOP, PHONE 1-660-885-7950. THEY WILL DO A COMPLETE WALKAROUND FOR A MODEST $50 CHARGE.. 100% COMPLETE OUR '51 IS COMPLETE...100% COMPLETE... IF YOU FIND ANYTHING MISSING ON THIS 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 THE CITY OF CLINTON 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, HEALTHEY AND HAPPY ENVIRONMENT. THE DRAB, GREY WALLS WERE REPAINTED WITH BRIGHT CLEAN COLORS AND THE LOCAL FOLKS HAVE RESPONDED IN A VERY POSITIVE MANNER.
