I willassist with shipping cost if the "Buy it Now " price is met so let's talk about the truck !YOU ARE BIDDING ON A MULTIPLE AWARD WINNING CHEVROLET THAT WILL BRING YOU DIRECTLY BACK TO 1956. THIS ONE IS AS ORIGINAL AS A VEHICLE THIS AGE CAN BE, ALONG WITH BEING AS NICE AS YOU WILL SEE. ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO THE TRUCK HAD A COMPLETE FRAME OFF, NUT AND BOLT RESTORATION. AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE(nmbers matching )AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS WERE COMPLETELY REDONE WITH GM PARTS WHEN AVAILABLE, (which was most of the time) THINGS LIKE SUSPENSION, SPRINGS,SHOCKS,BRAKES,BRAKE LINES. AND ANYTHING THAT APPEARED SUB-PAR OR UNSAFE WAS REPLACED. IT IS NECESSARY TO TELL THE PUREST COLLECTOR AT THIS TIME THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE RESIVOIR BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED WITH A TWO RESIVOIR POWER BRAKE BOOSTER SIMPLY FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE ENGINE IS THE ORIGINAL THRIFTMASTER 235 CUBIC INCH SIX CYLINDER WITH SOLID LIFTERS AND A DUAL FEED SETUP FOR OIL FEEDING THE ENGINE. THIS WAS CUSTOMARY AT THE TIME FOR SUCH ENGINES.THE THREE SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON THE COLUMN SHIFTS LIKE BUTTER AND THE CLUTCH IS 19000 MILES NEW . THERE IS NO SYNCRO IN FIRST GEAR ALSO BY DESIGN FOR THAT ERA.. ALSO THE PURE COLLECTOR SHOULD BE TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THE RADIO LOOKS LIKE AN AM 1956 RADIO IT IS IN ACTUALITY A HIGH POWERED AM/ FM STEREO WITH FOUR TASTEFULLY PLACED SPEAKERS.I HAVE SEEN MANY TRUCKS AND MOST OF THEM ARE STREET RODS, WITH PRICE TAGS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD AND THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN PAINTED TOILETS. WITH HOT ROD ENGINES AND HACKED UP. DON'T MISUNDERSTAND THAT IS OK IF YOU LKE THAT KIND OF THING BUT THE ORIGINAL VEHICLES ARE WHERE THE REAL MONEY IS . THE NICEST THING ABOUT THIS ONE IS THAT IT IS NO TRAILER QUEEN, CAN BE DRIVEN ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE ALL DAY LONG AT 55 M.P.H. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS A HEAD TURNING SHOW STOPPER THAT WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH THE MONEY. HOT RODS ARE GREAT, I HAVE OWNED MANY, BUT YOU NEVER SEEM TO GET OUT OF THEM WHAT YOU PUT IN. RECENTLY I HAD THIS TRUCK FRESHENED UP AND WHAT WE DID WAS REMOVE THE BED AND PAINT THE CAB AND BED SEPARATELY SO THAT WE COULD MAKE CERTAIN THAT NOTHING WAS OVERLOOKED. THERE WAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF BODY WORK NECESSARY FROM SURFACE RUST AND IT WAS CUT OUT AND REPLACED WITH SHEET METAL. I DON;T THINK THERE IS A PINT OF BODY FILLER IN THIS ENTIRE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF COMMISSION WHILE THE BODY WAS GETTING IT'S "FRESHENING UP" FROM FEBRUARY 2011 TO THE MIDDLE OF JUNE. HASTE MAKES WASTE AND THIS TRUCK WAS WORTH EVERY BIT OF THE TIME SPENT SO THAT THE NEW OWNER CAN SPEND HIS OR HER TIME ENJOYING IT. THE CHROME ON THE HOOD WAS REDONE AND IF I WERE TO KEEP THE TRUCK I WOULD RECHROME THE DOOR HANDLES AND THE FENDER BADGES BUT THEY ARE VERY PRESENTABLE AND NOT PITTED AT ALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU ON THE PHONE OR IN PERSON. MY # IS 772-342-4395 AND YOU CAN CALL OR HAVE THE TRUCK INSPECTED BEFORE BIDDING. I DO NOT ANSWER EMAILS, REAL BUYERS USE THE PHONE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF WHEN BIDDING YOU KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE BIDDING TO OWN THE TRUCK, NOT FOT THE FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL. IN OTHER WORDS, LETS NOT WASTE EACH OTHER'S TIME KICKING TIRES AND TELLING STORIES. THIS TRUCK HAS SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO ME. THE LADY ON THE TIRE COVER WAS MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE JAN AND SHE DIED OF OVARIAN CANCER LAST YEAR. I USED THE TRUCK TO RAISE FUNDS FOR EARLY DETECTION RESEARCH, I HONESTLY DON'T THINK YOU WILL FIND A NICER, MORE ORIGINAL TRUCK OF THIS VINTAGE ANYWHERE AT ANY PRICE. I KNOW IF YOU PURCHASE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. IF YOU COME DOWN TO FLORIDA OR IF YOU HAVE THE TRUCK SHIPPED I CAN OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND I PROMISE TO MAKE THE DELIVERY LOGISTICS SMOOTH AND EXPEDITIOUS. PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK. IT HAS ALL BEEN AUTOMOBILES AND TRUCKS. THOSE ARE ONLY A FEW BECAUSE MOST TIMES MY VEHICLES GET SOLD BEFORE THE END OF THE SALE/ I HAVE NO UNHAPPY BUYERS. I LIKE TO UNDERDESCRIBE AND OVERDELIVER SO THAT EVERYONE IS PLEASED WITH WHAT THEY GET FOR WHAT THEY PAID. NOW THAT'S A GOOD DEAL !!! THANKS FOR LOOKING. I LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH YOU *****NO EMAILS PLEASE ***** NO EMAILS PLEASE ***** NO EMAILS PLEASE ***** CALL RICK AT 772-342-4395 GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING P.S. I WILL ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT OF A TRADE IN AS LONG AS IT RUNS GOOD. IT CAN BE CLASSIC OR NEWER ,IT CAN BE A CORVETTE OR A HARLEY, AS LONG AS IT RUNS GOOD,. COSMETICS IS SOMETHING I CAN DEAL WITH AND I DON'T MIND A PARTIAL TRADE AS LONG AS REALISTIC ABOUT IT'S WORTH. THANKS AGAIN !!!! RICK 772-342-4395 **************
