This is a Texas original truck that I bought from the second owner in 1981. I have enjoyed it tremendously, but due to my age and the coming winter (I now live in Pittsburgh); I think it needs a new home. It is a daily driver that I would trust to drive anywhere. Additionally, it has enough options and comes with enough new parts that someone could make “Big Red” truly special. It came from the factory with most all options as a Custom Cab Deluxe model. I was also told it was a “Texas Dealer Special Edition” as it has Genuine Chevrolet hood spears and crossed racing flag emblem that I have never seen on another truck. Comes with the protecto-plate, original owners manual, and many, many thousands of dollars of receipts. The truck was bought from Graff Chevrolet in Grand Prairie, TX. I have a few more factory options that I will include with the sale to make it one of the most highly-optioned trucks you will see. The period-correct 327 4-barrel engine has about 20,000 miles on the rebuild. The original Powerglide transmission and rear end have about 10,000 miles on the rebuild. All perform flawlessly. The correct original size whitewall tires have about 5,000 miles on them. It passed rigorous PA Inspections the last two years, though I have recently placed Historic plates on it so that I no longer have to waste a day in an automotive waiting room. The few known issues are a slight wobble in the steering wheel and a non-working horn button in the professionally rebuilt steering column, so I will include another complete used column that looks to be in great shape ($200). There is an exhaust leak on the left side, it is a loose gasket. I have included a new “doughnut”. The oil pan drain bolt leaks slightly, I have included a new Summit oil pan, drain bolt, one-piece no-leak gasket and new ARP bolts ($92). I will include 5 quarts of Pennzoil and new oil filter. The gas gauge doesn’t work, the gauge is new, and so I have included a new sending unit for the tank ($75). The temperature gauge needs a new sending unit and the Vintage Air system should be charged as I never use it. Original seat, tracks, rebuild kit, and new red/white upholstery are included ($300) to replace the almost new leather seat with flip-up middle cubby/console and matching seat belts ($950) if desired, as is a complete set of new replacement stainless steel exterior fleet side body molding/trim from Brothers ($600). While the truck is amazingly clean for its age, there are a few small rust areas developing and a small dent in the passenger side bed. The cab was replaced and the original VIN plate lost, but I have a new unstamped plate with the correct original rosette rivets and reverse stamps to replace the Chevrolet DD plate that goes above the driver’s door. I have two extra rivets if anyone wants to make me an offer. The frame has the original VIN stamped into it and matches the title. I also have a used and new GVW plate for the side vent area. As mentioned, everything passed PA’s strict title and inspection laws. I won’t divulge the reasonable reserve, but I am a motivated seller, so I intend to sell the truck. Bid to win. I will help with shipping, or you can fly into PIT, I will pick you up, and you can drive it home. $500 deposit from wining bidder in 3 days, reminder paid in cash or bank draft upon pickup at my house.
