I am selling my 1953 Dodge 5-Window Pickup truck. I had great plans to restore but simply do not have the time. The truck was in a lengthy storage but after draining out the old gas and throwing an old battery in, it started right up but ran roughly, so I had the points changed and plugs tweaked and now it starts and runs beautifully. I changed out most of the brake lines, re-wired everything to work, through on some tires and have been taking it to local shows as is. I built a solid diamond plate floor for it. Granted the truck has rust issues but the frame is solid and the motor excellent as is the drive train. So, your call as to whether to just rat rod it and drive as is after some inspection of wheel cylinders etc., or restore it and ask $20,000 as the one presently running is. Parts are readily available for this truck from multiple providers. It is what it is- a running and driving 5-window pick up and they are not that easy to find. I am not looking to score big bucks, just recover my investment, so reserve is very reasonable. The vehicle is advertised locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Shipping is the buyers expense and responsibility but I will assist in any way necessary. The vehicle has a clear Massachusetts title and I will also provide a CT Bill of Sale. I will gladly answer all questions so please ask. Good luck bidding on this cool old "survivor"On Jul-19-13 at 03:20:01 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had a few of you ask whether or not the truck would make it to your home, without trailering. As I said in the ad, the truck needs to be restored but does run, drive and stop but I would personally limit that to local car shows until further inspection has taken place. I would not want to tell someone to try and drive it away for safety reasons. Just do not want to mis-represent the truck.
