1953 Chevrolet Pickup - Half Ton - Short Bed - 5 Window Solid Chevy pickup up for sale, been in family since 1978, always kept in Nevada dry desert. Body has no rust on floors, cab corners, cab mounts, lower cowl section or anywhere. One small ding on driver side rear fender from tree branch hitting it, could possibly pop out. Truck runs really well with the rebuilt 235 and 4 speed trans, all 6 volt. Trans has typical granny gear that whines out fast. Stock rear end was swapped out years ago for a 57 Chevy car rear end with 373 gears and is posi-trac. Still have stock rear end if buyer wants it. Rear leaf springs where put on top of axle to gain more clearance for bigger tires that where needed. Front end is all stock with exception of bigger brakes/hub taken off a 3/4 ton chevy truck that were swapped because of bigger tires and better safety. Truck drives comfortable on highway at 65mph and is great driving around town also. An extra gas tank was added under the bed where it would typically be located for a 1947-1948 truck, there is a shut off valve in the truck cab to turn on extra tank. With extra tank you can carry just over 35 gallons of gas which makes it great for long hauls. Mechanically truck is completely sound, needs nothing and would drive anywhere. Cosmetically truck was painted in early 80's silver and original color was a light green as firewall shows. no bondo on truck and truck has never had any patch panels. All door hinges and unders side of door are near perfect. The camper shell was made for it in the 80's and used for camping and hunting trips. Shell bolts on and off very easy of which I can keep if buyer decides he does not want. I have the tailgate that came with it which is in great shape. Interior is all stock and original, push button starter on the floor and cranks nice and slow with 6 volt but fires up after 2 or 3 cranks. All glass is good and windows roll up and down nice. Passenger side windshield glass has small chip/crack where rock hit it on the highway. All gauges work, fuel, oil, temp and speedo. Comes with extra parts collected over years ( side curved glass, new cardboard door panels, engine parts, boxes with extras as seen in pics ). Also have a Fulton Visor for it. Have some stock rims for it that are 5 lug of which i was going to convert the front to 5 lug so they are all uniform. Truck has Clear Nevada title with matching VIN numbers. Truck is now located in Sacramento, California. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any other questions as I have tried to remember everything about her.
