For sale is a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton pickup with a 235 CID motor. When I bought this truck, I was told the motor came out of a 1954 Corvette but I have not checked the numbers to verify that. The truck ran good when it was parked several years ago, but was parked when the radiator developed a leak. The man who owned it then (a certified mechanic - I know him) planned to use that as an opportunity to convert it to a 12 volt, but never got around to it (it is still a 6 volt system), so the truck just sat (garaged) until I talked him into letting me buy it. The only reason I'm selling it, is I have the opportunity to buy a Harley I've wanted forever. It took me many years to get this truck, but opportunity knocks. Overall, the body is really pretty darn straight, with the exception of just a couple of minor areas (please look closely at photos). The floors are solid, cab corners are good, doors are fine...a little bit of rust and body work, but not too bad. Again, check photos. It's just a good solid truck that with some TLC would make a great Cruiser, Lowrider or Ratrod. The tires are fair, the rims behind the hubcaps are chrome, the hubcaps are brand new - I took them out of the box for the photos. (these are included with with the truck at the 4,900 Buy It Now Price). Just needs some wide whitewalls to look super cool or old school. Has Fulton sun visor (also comes with the truck at the 4,900 Buy It Now Price). Brakes are good, steering is tight. Everything looks to be present on the truck except for the breather. Comes with extra chrome grill. The extra grill is not perfect, but it will be included in the sale. The driver's door glass and passenger door glass and quarter glass are cracked...the rest of the glass is good. The seat is not original to the truck, but very good condition with seatbelt openings and no rips. Has driver's side peep mirror with Kansas Jayhawk sticker. Rock Chalk Jayhawks! It does not have an ignition key, so you would probably want to buy a new ignition switch at a parts store (very inexpensive - ten bucks or so). Also...there are two blue pieces you can see in the back of the truck that go on sides that cover the frame above the running boards. As I said, it took me many years to talk my friend into letting me buy this truck, and I finally was able to do that the first of the year, so the title has been applied for and will be in any day (Kansas has just switched to a new DMV system, so it could be as long as another couple or 3 weeks, or it could be tomorrow). I do have a copy of the registration I can provide to the successful bidder, and the title - if it's not already here by the end of auction, will be forwarded to buyer immediately upon its arrival. Please don't let this give you any pause - just look at my feedback record and know you can be comfortable in my reputation as a longstanding eBay seller. Truck is also for sale locally, so I do reserve the right to end auction early. I would also be willing to let this truck go for the reserve price of 4500.00 - WITHOUT the visor or the wheel covers. However, instead of bidding, if you want to purchase it this way, PLEASE LET ME KNOW FIRST AND I WILL ADJUST THE BUY IT NOW PRICE BEFORE YOU BID. Otherwise, someone could still overbid you who wants it with the visor and wheel covers. Buyer is responsible for arranging for and paying for all costs associated with delivery. I do require a 500 dollar deposit within 48 hours of end of auction, with the balance to be paid within one week of auction's end. If you need more time than that, please contact me prior to bidding so we can make sure we are all on the same page with what is happening. If you have any questions whatsoever, PLEASE contact Leroy at Seven-Eight-Five - Two-THree-Zero - Four-Nine-Nine-Two prior to bidding. I want you to feel comfortable in what you are bidding on. My best answer to the 'is it running and driveable question' is that, again, it was in running condition, but was parked when the radiator developed a leak and the previous owner was going to use that opportunity to switch it to a 12 volt system, but never got around to it. For it to run now, it would need a radiator (a fairly inexpensive replacement piece) and a battery (I did not buy a 6 volt because, I too, would have switched it to 12 volt if I were going to keep it). Keep the questions coming! Thanks!
