FIRST TIME OFFERED ON EBAY ! ! WORLDWIDE OFFERING =================================== FROM THE COLLECTION OF DOWNTOWN DESOTO 1949 CHEVROLET MATCHING NUMBERS ! ======================= 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 '49 MODEL DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT RETAINED THE (EASIER TO SERVICE) SINGLE PANE SIDE GLASS AND THE LEFT SIDE PUSH-OUT VENT ASSEMBLY. ACCORDING TO THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER THAT IS FOUND IN THE FRONT LEFT DOOR JAM, OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE ST. LOUIS ASSEMBLY PLANT IN FEBUARY, 1949. THIS IS FURTHER ILLUSTRATED IN THE PICTURES BELOW.. STOVE BOLT 6 CYLINDER-MATCHING NUMBERS 'AGCM' PREFIX OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS POWERED BY IT'S ORIGINAL 216 CUBIC INCH, SIX CYLINDER ENGINE... IT'S SERIAL NUMBER PREFIX IS AGCM, IT IS STAMPED ON THE BLOCK BEHIND THE DISTRIBUTOR AND IT INDICATES THAT IT WAS BUILT AT THE TONAWANDA ENGINE ASSEMBLY PLANT IN THE 1949 MODEL YEAR.. 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 ! !---PLEASE REFERENCE OUR PICTURES BELOW.. IT HAS A RATING OF 90 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 BOLTS WERE 1/4 INCH BY 20 THREAD...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.. ORIGINAL 6 VOLT POWER SUPPLY THOUGH NOT RESTORED, WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR LITTLE TRUCK IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS..TO BEGIN WITH, OUR ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS HAVE JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE ORIGINAL 1 BARREL CARBURETOR AND WE HAVE INSTALLED A BRAND NEW BATTERY.. WE CONTINUED THE USE OF THE ORIGINAL 6 VOLT IGNITION SWITCH AND RETAINED THE FOOT OPERATERATED STARTER. THE GAGES HAVE BEEN CHECKED OVER THOROUGHLY AND EACH WORKS CORRECTLY.. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS RESTORED A FEW YEARS AGO AND THIS WAS DOCUMENTED AND DATED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE HOUSING. IT WORKS PER FACTORY SPECS AND HAS HAD A NEW DECAL PACKAGE APPLIED. WE ALSO PURCHASED A BRAND NEW STEERING WHEEL FROM JIM CARTER'S CHEVY PARTS AND OUR BODY SHOP TECHS PAINTED IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL BROWN COLOR. THE HORN ALSO WORKS CORRECTLY AND RETAINS USE OF THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL HORN BUTTON.. ALSO IN THE ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE JUST INSTALLED TWO BRAND NEW, CHROME PLATED TAIL-LIGHTS... OUR LITTLE TRUCK ALSO 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. DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOCKING UP THE VALUABLES, OUR LITTLE TRUCK RETAINS THE ORIGINAL DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS AND THEY WORK CORRECTLY ON BOTH SIDES. THE WHEELS ARE THE 15 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 AND THE NEW FRONT HOOD BADGE. PLEASE, MAKE ME A STAR RUDOLPH VALENTINO NO, I REALIZE I'LL NEVER BE A STAR, BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD TAKE TIME TO VIEW THE ATTACHED VIDEOS.. THEY ARE ONLY A FEW MINUTES LONG AND THEY ANSWER MANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE GENERALLY ASKED.. ONE IS A VIDEO TEST DRIVE, ONE ALLOWS YOU TO HEAR THE ENGINE RUN, ONE IS A GENERAL WALKAROUND AND ONE IS TAKEN INSIDE THE CAB...IF YOU HAVE REGULAR SLOW SPEED INTERNET, IT MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES FOR THEM TO TOTALLY LOAD, BUT PLEASE TAKE THE TIME... I KEEP MY FACE HIDDEN AND THE INFORMATION IS INVALUABLE... NEW CHROME PLATED REAR BUMPER NEW CHROME PLATED FRONT BUMPER AND HOOD BADGE NEW 'JIM CARTER' ORIGINAL HUBCAPS ============================== FANTASTIC RUST FREE FLOORS ! ! LEFT AND RIGHT ! 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 NEARLY IT'S ENTIRE LIFE IN DRY INSIDE STORAGE AND WE HAVE INCLUDED SEVERAL PICTURES TO ILLUSTRATE JUST HOW SOLID OUR TRUCK TRULY IS... EVEN THE FRONT BED PANEL DID NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED.... SUCH A SOLID OLD TRUCK.. 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 HAVE REPLACED THE CAB CORNERS WITH FACTORY REPRODUCTIONS AND THEY ARE MADE WITH SOLID AMERICAN SHEET METAL..HOWEVER WE STILL OFFER NO CLAIMS OF A TOTALLY RUST FREE TRUCK.. I'M SURE THAT SOMEONE COULD FIND SOME SOMEWHERE, BUT IMAGINE, THE FLOOR IS TOTALLY ORIGINAL WITH ONLY ONE SMALL REPAIR ! BRAND NEW STEERING WHEEL FROM JIM CARTER TRUCK PARTS ! REBUILT SPEEDOMETER-WORKS GREAT ! EVERY GAGE WORKS CORRECTLY ! ! ORIGINAL STOVE-BOLT 6 CYLINDER ENGINE HEAR IT RUN ! ! CLICK ON THE PICTURE BELOW== NEW CHROME FRONT BUMPER AND HOOD BADGE AND CHECK OUT THE FOUR BRAND NEW "JIM CARTER" HUBCAPS TIME FOR A TEST DRIVE ? ? CLICK ON THE PICTURE BELOW ! THE ORIGINAL DOOR LOCK STILL OPERATES PER FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND NOTICE THE ORIGINAL "GM" KEY ! CHECK THE 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.. DECIPER THE SERIAL NUMBER BELOW 3=BUILT IN ST. LOUIS--G=1949 MODEL YEAR--R=3600 SERIES & B=BUILT IN FEBUARY, 1949 ================================================ THE TITLE MATCHES THE ENGINE NUMBER PERFECTLY ! ! ENGINE INFORMATION IS AS FOLLOWS; BUILT IN TONAWANDA, NEW YORK-216 CUBIC INCH-90 HORSEPOWER-COMP. RATIO 6.6:1 ORIGINAL "GM" KEY OUR DOG "BUDDY" ! ! ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF THE '49 & 50 MODELS, THE EXTRA LEFT HAND SIDE AIR VENT.. ========================================== WINDOW CHANNELS ARE ALMOST BRAND NEW ! 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 $40,000 AND TWO CROSSED THE BARRETT-JACKSON AUCTION BLOCK LAST JANUARY AT OVER $54,000.. WE OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE.. OUR LITTLE '49 RUNS EXCELLENT AND DRAWS A CROWD IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.. SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO DO A TOTAL FRAME OFF RESTORATION ON THIS TRUCK YOU WOULD HAVE AN EXCELLENT 'SOLID' 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 "DRIVER QUALITY" ... IT IS NOT A PERFECT TRUCK... IT IS NOT A TOTALLY "RESTORED" TRUCK.. NEW GLOVE BOX FROM 'CLASSIC PARTS' ======================= HOW IS OUR TRUCK 'BETTER THAN NEW' ? ? ELECTRICAL PROTECTION ! IT IS TRUE, THAT THE CHEVROLET ENGINEERS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL PROTECTION IN THE NEW "ADVANCED DESIGN" TRUCKS OF 1949... PARTIAL ELECTRICAL PROTECTION.. THE STANDARD GLASS FUSES WERE PLACED IN LINE BY THE FACTORY, ONLY AFTER THE WIRING WAS ROUTED THROUGH THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE AMMETER & THE LIGHT SWITCH. THUS ELECTRICAL PROTECTION WAS FOR ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. THE LENGTH OF WIRE THAT RAN FROM THE BATTERY CONNECTOR TO THESE FUSES WAS AT RISK AT ALL TIMES AND COULD BE SUBJECT TO SHORT-OUTS AND FIRES... THIS, A VERY SCARY THOUGHT EVEN WITH THE STANDARD 6 VOLT SYSTEM. ALL OF OUR TRUCKS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED AT THE STARTER WITH A MODERN 40 AMP FUSE THAT IS PICTURED ABOVE. IT IS MADE WITH A HEAVY 10 GAGE WIRE AND COMPLETELY PROTECTS THE AFOREMENTIONED ITEMS. THIS IS HIDDEN FROM VIEW TO ALL BUT THE MOST SOPHISTICATED OBSERVERS AND IS VERY EASY TO GET TO IN CASE OF A PROBLEM.. WE THINK THE FIRE SIRENS SHOULD SOUND ONLY WHEN YOU'RE IN A PARADE... EMERGENCY EXTRA FUSES WILL BE PROVIDED... COMPLETE ! ! 100% COMPLETE OUR '49 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.. NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE FINAL WALKAROUND ...

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, HEALTHY AND HAPPY ENVIRONMENT. THE DRAB, 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 AND NEUTERED) PETS WITH 0 EUTHANASIAS (EXCEPT FOR HEALTH RELATED ISSUES)..
