CLICK ON THE ARROW BELOW FOR A SHORT "TEST DRIVE" OF THE '49 CHEVROLET FROM THE COLLECTION OF "DOWNTOWN DESOTO" 1949 CHEVROLET LIKE THE 'HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH' TRUCK 5 WINDOW CAB ALMOST TOTALLY RUST FREE BY NOW, MOST OF YOU LOYAL EBAYERS KNOW OF OUR SUCCESS. WE HAVE LISTED OVER 35 OF OUR ANTIQUE AND CLASSIC CARS & TRUCKS 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!!! BUT WHY SELL A CLASSIC?? DUE TO A SEVERE STORAGE PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD TO RECLASSIFY MANY OF OUR 'KEEPERS' INTO 'MUST SELLS'. CHECK IT OUT IN OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE 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 HALF TON TRUCKS JUST BROKE OVER THE $39,000 MARK.... 5 WINDOW CAB--THEY CALLED THEM "NEW VUE" THE SMALL CURVED REAR WINDOWS ARE ONE OF THE MOST DESIRED OPTIONS AVAILABLE ON THE ADVANCED DESIGN PICKUPS.. 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 HAS THESE WINDOWS, THEY ARE THE ORIGINALS AND ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.. STOVE BOLT SIX CYLINDER ENGINE STOVE BOLT POWER ! ! OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS POWERED BY AN UPGRADED, STOVE BOLT, SIX CYLINDER ENGINE. IT HAS A RATING OF 125 HORSEPOWER AT 4000 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 THE SIMPLE 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 A HEAVIER BUILT THAN THE 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION. 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. ACCORDING TO THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER THAT IS ON THE FRONT DOOR POST ON THE LEFT SIDE, OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI PLANT IN MARCH, 1949.. ==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.. LIKE THE HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH TRUCK 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.. OUR TIRED OLD SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT IN ANY CONDITION TO RESTORE, SO WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW ONE.. IT WAS PURCHASED AT CLASSIC PARTS OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.. IT LOOKS GREAT AND IS GUARANTEED TO WORK CORRECTLY FOR ONE FULL YEAR..WE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW SPEEDOMETER CABLE AS WELL. 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 ASSEMBLIES AS WELL... 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 FACTORY ORIGINALS WITH THE CORRECT HUBCAP CLIPS STILL IN PLACE. WE ALSO INSTALLED THE CORRECT REPRODUCTION HUBCAPS.. THESE WERE PURCHASED AT JIM CARTER'S TRUCK PARTS IN INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI.. ALSO NEW, ARE THE REPRODUCTION, CHROME FRONT BUMPER. NEW BRAKES ! ! DURING THE RESTORATION OF OUR BRAKE SYSTEM WE FOUND THAT ALL OF THE SHOES WERE IN EXCELLENT, NEAR NEW CONDITION.. THEREFORE THOSE WERE NOT REPLACED.. BUT EVERY OTHER ITEM PICTURED ABOVE WAS INSTALLED ON OUR FINE '49.. THIS INCLUDED; A NEW MASTER CYLINDER, FOUR NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, 3 NEW FLEX LINES AND A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT.. BRAKEMAN BOB ALSO LUBED AND ADJUSTED THE ORIGINAL EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES AND NOW OUR TRUCK STOPS TO NEAR PERFECTION.. AS ALWAYS HOWEVER WE CAUTION OUR NEW BUYER TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED OVER THOROUGHLY FOLLOWING THE ARRIVAL AT ITS NEW HOME.. THIS TRUCK IS OVER 60 YEARS OLD AND ALL SAFETY RELATED ITMES SHOULD BE CHECK ON A REGULAR BASIS. 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..THE BUYER SHOULD MAKE SURE OF IT'S LOCATION AND KNOW WITH CERTAINTY THAT IT MATCHES THE TITLE PRECISELY. MANY DO NOT.. WHY??? 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 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, TIRED OUT ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND THE SERIAL NUMBER BECAME DISCARDED. IT WAS SENT OUT WITH 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.... 100 % COMPLETE AS ONE BEGINS TO LOOK FOR THE PERFECT 1947 THROUGH 1953 ADVANCED GMC OR CHEVROLET 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 OVER $30,000 AND ONE LITTLE HALF TON GMC PICKUP WAS SOLD AT THE MECUUM INDIANAPOLIS SALE FOR A WHOPPING $41,000.. WE OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE.. OUR LITTLE '49 RUNS EXCELLENT AND DRAWS A CROWD IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.. IT IS NOT A FRAME OFF RESTORED VEHICLE BUT IT DOES LOOK EXCEPTIONALLY WELL... SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO TURN IT INTO A 100 POINT RESTORATION YOU WOULD HAVE AN EXCELLENT START BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND, IT IS NOT A PERFECT TRUCK... WE DO HOWEVER GUARANTEE THAT IT IS 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.. PLEASE MAKE ME A STAR NO, I REALIZE I'LL NEVER BE A STAR LIKE VALENTINO BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD TAKE TIME TO VIEW THE VIDEO THAT IS MENTIONED ABOVE.. IT IS ONLY A FEW MINUTES LONG AND IT ANSWERS SO MANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE GENERALLY ASKED.. ONE IS OF THE VIDEO TEST DRIVE AND THE SECOND ONE IS A GENERIC WALKAROUND OF THE TRUCK. WE HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A TOUR OF OUR OLD CAR MUSEUM, DOWNTOWN DESOTO. IF YOU HAVE REGULAR, SLOW SPEED INTERNET, IT MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES FOR IT TO TOTALLY LOAD, BUT PLEASE WATCH IT.

WE DO NOT WANT ANY BUYER TO BE DISAPPOINTED, EXPECTING THE PERFECT TRUCK.. AS AN EXAMPLE; THE PAINT ON OUR TRUCK IS IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE VERY CLOSE UP PICTURES.. THEY SHOW THAT THE PAINT HAS MORE ORANGE PEEL THAN THE NEW CARS AND TRUCKS OF TODAY AND WE'RE QUITE SURE YOU COULD FIND OTHER 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.
