Vehicle Detail

Great old Chevy pickup... use it as an occasional hauler / rider or do a full/partial restore for show/fun. I've owned this truck for about 6 years, put about 6 thousand miles on her... bought it from an old friend who owned it for almost 40 years, bought it from the original owner. She's all original except for the wheels, tires and replacement exhaust (which is routed as original) and, yes, the original AM radio works. When I bought it, I did and/or had quite a bit of work done to prep it for the drive from Denver to Tucson... that's right, drove it, didn't ship it. I had the front end gone over, lower ball joints, a tie rod end or two, alignment, plus water pump, hoses, tune up, wheel bearing repack, new seals, steering box adjust, valve adjust, etc. Did the brakes all around, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, a couple brake lines. Got replacement tires and wheels, a new gas tank (old one was starting to rust), a new windshield (installer took a beating on that one), battery, 'temporarily' topped the old bed boards (still haven't gotten around to permanently replacing those), transmission rebuild w/clutch, replacement exhaust all the way back, all fluids, filters, a bulb or two, etc and off we went. Drove the whole 1000 miles or so (back way, two lanes) replacing just one taillight bulb (missed that one)... great fun. Complements all along the way. Over the past 6 years, I've done things as I've had time... left front fender, all side window glass, another battery (heat here is hell on batteries), speedometer rework, carburetor rebuild, clutch slave cylinder, valve adjust, valve cover gasket, oil and filter at least every 6 months, regardless of miles. She's been garaged most of the time the past 6 years, all of the past 5. Starts every time, with appropriate choke/pump, and does whatever asked... haul grandkids on hay bails for trick-or-treating, dirt/gravel/wood occasionally, a trip to the dump once in a great while, or just a ride for the memories. Drives down the road way better than my motorhome... a little play in the steering (probably needs another steering box adjust) but goes straight down the road with no complaints/pull/wiggle/shake... just like they used to when maintained right. I have over $7000 in her without my labor... bid early and often and she could be yours for far less. I just don't have the time to do her right... hopefully you do.

But, like nearly all old Chevy (and other) trucks, she leaks oil. Probably drops about 3/4 to 1 quart between oil changes, mostly while running or just after, mostly from the front main seal and some from the rear main seal. If you zoom in, you can probably see the caked-on-oil on the undercarriage beneath the engine. On May-05-13 at 13:47:54 PDT, seller added the following information: Positive note, for those who are unaware: There is no Arizona sales tax on vehicle purchases from a private party such as myself. Only sales made by a dealer require Arizona sales tax payment. If you are a buyer fom outside Arizona, you are of course subject to whatever sales tax rules apply within your home / registering state.
