I AM SELLING THIS TRUCK FOR MY FATHER WHO IS GETTING ON IN AGE AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE AND ENJOY THIS TRUCK AS HE USED TO. FRANKLY, THE MONEY IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM NOW THAN THE TRUCK IS. THIS IS A RETIRED COCA-COLA SERVICE TRUCK TURNED STREET ROD. IT WAS BUILT IN THE NINETIES AND IS BEGINNING TO SHOW IT'S AGE. CAB IS ALL STEEL AND THE REAR FENDERS ARE FIBERGLASS. THE SUSPENSION IS ALL REWORKED ORIGINAL STYLE LEAF SPRING AND 5 INCH DROPPED STRAIGHT AXLE UP FRONT WITH POWER STEERING. A FORD 9 INCH IN THE REAR WITH A 4 PINION 3.55 GEAR RATIO. POWER PLANT IS A 427 TALL DECK WITH STEEL CRANK AND FLAT TOP PISTONS AND A MILD HIPO GRIND CRANE CAM. THE INTAKE IS A RECTANGULAR GM PERFORMANCE INTAKE WITH MOROSO SPACERS TO THE OVAL PORT CYLINDER HEADS. IT HAS A MOROSO DISTRIBUTOR AND NEW EDELBROCK AFB CARBURATER. IT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED A LIFTER TICK ON COLD START UP THAT SEEMS TO GO AWAY AFTER JUST A COUPLE MINUTES. AGAIN I THINK THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF IT NOT BEING USED IN MANY YEARS. WATERPUMP IS NEW AND RADIATOR HAS BEEN RE-CORED. THE TRANSMISSION IS A 7004R WITH STOCK LOCK UP CONVERTOR AND AUXILIARY COOLERS INSTALLED. POWER FRONT BRAKES ARE DISC AND REARS ARE DRUM. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS THE PAINT, BODY WORK AND CHROME IS BEGINNING TO AGE AND NEEDS SOME REWORK OR JUST LEAVE IT AS IS FOR THE RAT-ROD LOOK. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. I WILL BET BACK TO YOU OR LET YOU KNOW WHEN AN APPROPRIATE TIME IS TO CALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
