PLEASE WATCH THE SHORT VIDEO BELOW 'THE RESTORATION OF OUR FINE '49' ============================================= FROM THE COLLECTION OF "DOWNTOWN DESOTO" 1949 CHEVROLET 5 WINDOW DELUXE WE LOVE OLD TRUCKS ! ! ! with the "stove bolt" 6 cylinder engine 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 SHORTBED 1/2 TON SERIES, AS THESE WERE THE MODELS EQUIPPED WITH THE CHROME MOLDINGS AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AND THE CURVED REAR CORNER GLASS WINDOWS. IN ADDITION OURS HAS THE LIGHTEST GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF ANY OF THE 1949 CHEVY TRUCKS.. THIS WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LIGHT DUTY HAULER AND LIVED A RATHER PAMPERED LIFE..IN OUR CASE, IT WAS PROBABLY TRANSPORTING GOOSE FEATHERS TO A PILLOW FACTORY. THE WEIGHT RATING IS ONLY 4800 POUNDS AND IT HAS A CURB WEIGHT OF ONLY 3100 POUNDS.. NOW, IF WE WERE FORCED TO DO THE MATH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PAYLOAD OF ONLY 1700 POUNDS MINUS THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGERS.. NOT EXACTLY HEAVY DUTY HAULING, IS IT ? OUR TRUCK IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH THE MORE DESIRABLE, LIGHT DUTY 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT HAS THE SHIFT LEVER LOCATED ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THROUGHT THE GEARS WONDERFULLY BUT DOES HAVE SOME BEARING NOISE IN THIRD GEAR. THE OVERALL COSMETIC CONDITION OF OUR TRUCK IS ABSOLUTELY THE FINEST WE'VE SEEN.

NEW GAS TANK FROM 'CLASSIC PARTS' ============== ALL NEW GLASS ALL OF THE FLAT GLASS HAS BEEN REPLACED ON OUR LITTLE TRUCK.. WINDSHIELD, DOOR GLASS, VENT WING GLASS AND BACK GLASS. THIS ALSO NECESSITATED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FITTED RUBBER GASKETS, THE VENT WING RUBBER, NEW CHROME FRAMES, NEW WINDOW CHANNELS, NEW SWEEPERS AND ON AND ON AND ON-- WE DID NOT REPLACE OUR ORIGINAL CURVED REAR CORNER GLASSES.

WE HAVE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW VACUUM HOSE, NEW GROMMETS ON THE REMOTE LINKAGE AND ALL NEW ARMS AND BLADES... YOU WILL BE PLEASED ! SPANISH GRAIN MAROON VINYL SEWN AND INSTALLED BY C.B. CARTER ================================== AS MANY KNOW, THERE WERE NOT ANY FACTORY TURN SIGNALS ON THESE ORIGINAL TRUCKS. FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, WE FELT THAT TURN SIGNALS WERE A MUST HOWEVER WE HATED TO RUIN THE ORIGINALITY WITH AN AFTER-MARKET & OUT OF PLACE COLUMN MOUNTED LEVER. WE SELECTED THE HIDE/AWAY SIGNALS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED RIGHT HERE IN CLINTON, MISSOURI. THEY ARE TOTALLY HIDDEN OUT OF SIGHT AND FEATURE A SMALL SINGLE POLE/DOUBLE THROW SWITCH. PUSH THE SMALL UNDER-DASH SWITCH TO THE LEFT, FLASHES LEFT--PUSH TO THE RIGHT, FLASHES RIGHT AND TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FORGET YOUR FLASHING IN PUBLIC, WE ALSO HAVE A BUILT IN SAFETY REMINDER BEEPER...TO GO ALONG WITH THE TURN SIGNALS, WE HAVE ALSO INSTALLED TWO NEW CHROME PLATED TAIL-LIGHTS, TWO NEW PARK-LIGHTS, ALL WITH THE DOUBLE FILAMENT BULBS.. WORKS GREAT AND IS TOTALLY OUT OF SIGHT ! DON'T FLASH IN PUBLIC ================================== HOW IS OUR TRUCK 'BETTER' THAN NEW ? ELECTRICAL PROTECTION ! ! IN 1953 CHEVROLET ENGINEERS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT ELECTRICAL PROTECTION IN THE ALL NEW 'ADVANCED DESIGN' TRUCKS... PARTIAL ELECTRICAL PROTECTION.. THE STANDARD GLASS FUSES WERE PLACED IN THE POWER LINE ONLY AFTER THE WIRING WAS ROUTED THROUGH THE IGNITION SWITCH, AMMETER & LIGHT SWITCH. THUS THE PROTECTION WAS FOR ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. THE WIRE THAT RAN FROM THE BATTERY CONNECTOR TO THESE FUSES WAS AT RISK AND COULD BE SUBJECT TO SHORT-OUTS AND FIRES AT ANY TIME.. THIS IS INDEED A SCARY THOUGHT EVEN WITH THE STANDARD 6 VOLT SYSTEM--- BUT WITH THE DOUBLE VOLTAGE, 12 VOLT POWER IN PLACE IT COULD BE DEVASTING! ! ! ALL OF OUR TRUCKS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED AT THE STARTER WITH A MODERN 40 AMP FUSE THAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE 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.. ========================================== ========================== OUR ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS HAVE JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE CARBURETOR AND THEY ALSO INSTALLED A BRAND NEW GAS TANK AND GAS TANK SENDING UNIT. NEXT WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW GAS GAGE FROM OUR FRIENDS AT CLASSIC PARTS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. THEN, TO MAKE VERY SURE THAT ALL OF THIS CLEAN FUEL REACHED THE ENGINE, WE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW DELCO 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 FROM CLASSIC PARTS OF KANSAS CITY.. IT LOOKS GREAT AND IS GUARANTEED TO WORK CORRECTLY FOR ONE FULL YEAR.. THE ORIGINAL 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 12 VOLT BATTERY AND TWO BRAND NEW 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. AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOCKING UP THE VALUABLES, AS WE HAVE REPLACED BOTH EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WITH NEW REPRODUCTIONS FROM JIM CARTER'S ANTIQUE TRUCK PARTS.. BOTH DOORS NOW LOCK AND UNLOCK CORRECTLY AND, AS PER FACTORY SPECS, ONLY ONE DOOR HAS AN OUTSIDE DOOR LOCK... IT IS ALWAYS THE RIGHT DOOR, OURS HAS IT, IT WORKS AND IT IS KEYED CORRECTLY ! ! WE HAVE ALSO INSTALLED A BRAND NEW WATER PUMP AND HEADGASKET ! ! THE WHEELS ARE THE 16 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..LOCAL ARTIST RICHARD BROOKS HAS PIN STRIPED THE WHEELS AND THE TAILGATE--BEAUTIFUL ! ALSO NEW, ARE THE REPRODUCTION, CHROME FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS AND THE NEW FRONT HOOD BADGE AND SIDE NOMENCLATURE. BEEP----BEEP EVEN THE HORN IS RESTORED ! BUY THIS TRUCK AND WE'LL DONATE $100 TO 'CARE' THE CLINTON ANIMAL RESCUE ENDEAVOR (CARE) TOOK OVER THE CLINTON ANIMAL SHELTER IN DECEMBER, 2007.. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS RUN BY THE CITY OF CLINTON AND FORCED EUTHANASIAS WERE COMMON.. THIS WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO OVERPOPULATION..

THE DRAB, GREY WALLS WERE REPAINTED WITH BRIGHT CLEAN COLORS AND THE LOCAL FOLKS HAVE RESPONDED IN A VERY POSITIVE MANNER.
