Up for sale is most likely the nicest original 1973 Chevrolet truck in existence today. This truck is a one owner vehicle with just under 21k original miles. This truck was purchased new at Lew Williams Chevrolet Center on Folsom in Sacramento, CA by Richard and Opal Peterson of Nevada City, CA. This truck has spent it's entire life in the dry California climate and has always been registered to one owner at one address. Many of the original documents from purchase in 1973 are pictured and included with the sale: original title, temporary registration, original registration card, financing paperwork/contract, owners manual, sales brochure, accessories brochure, and others as seen in pictures. This truck is in amazing original condition and is 100% original, down to the original factory installed tires and power beam headlights. The paint and body are in excellent condition with no blending, bodywork, metalwork, or replacement ever being done. The interior is in perfect original condition with the factory seat belts being wrapped in factory installed plastic and only recently being pulled out from behind the front seat where they have sat unused for all of these years. As you can see on the parts identification card on the inner fender that this truck is factory equipped with a 350 V8 engine, 4 speed compound low transmission, air conditioning, custom moldings, and set up for the camper shell from new. The camper shell and Barden rear bumper were produces and installed locally and have been on the truck since new. The condition of the bed is immaculate and appears to have never been used and if so, only slightly. The engine and drivetrain all work as they should on this truck. Recent work includes rebuilt original carb, fuel hoses replaced, and rear wheel cylinders rebuilt. All electrical works as it should as well. This truck runs and drives well for a museum piece, but if you were planning on using this as a daily driver I would suggest going over the usual wear items and fluids before making an attempt at using it daily. The last registration card in the truck was from 1989 and then it was registered non op with the DMV, so there is no back registration on it due for the new owner. The truck went out of daily use status before this time frame and was only recently uncovered and brought back out into the public spotlight. This truck has been kept in an insulated barn since new, and it shows. Both original license plates and dealer frames are included and in mint original condition. I also have a few pictures of the truck as it sat in the garage that I will include for the new owner. This is a true time capsule vehicle that deserves to be in a great collection of low mileage vehicles and be brought out occasionally for others to view and enjoy. Overall this is the nicest original Chevrolet truck of this year that I have ever seen and is probably the nicest and most original low mileage Chevrolet truck from this year anywhere in the world. Trucks like this just don't come around but once in a lifetime and you will be hard pressed to find another like it.
