I purchased this truck in July, 2002 with the intentions of restoring back to original factory condition. Truck was manufactured in Chevrolet's Atlanta, GA Production Facility in 1965 and painted Light Green. During the restoration process, the decision was made to change the color to Factory Code # 507 - Light Blue that was also available for that production year. * This truck came off of the factory floor as a BASE Model with only the basic features: " Thrift Air " Heater / Driver's Side Only Sun Visor / 230 - 6 Cylinder Engine with Manual 3 Speed with the Shifter on the Column. Every effort was made to restore and maintain the Original Specifications - with the exception of the Color Change, just as the vehicle would have delivered from your local Chevy Dealer in 1965. * All Rubber, Window Seals, Hoses, Belts, Felt Seals, Fender and Panel Seals were all replaced. * The Front Windshield was replaced, but all other glass is original with all new rubber on windows. * New Rubber Floor Mats were installed along with Firewall Insulator Pad and Felt Liner under the Floor Mat. * The Bed was re-built using new Steel rails and new bed wood as well as new chains and chain covers. The pictures included will attest to the quality of this restoration and condition of this truck. As you can see, the vehicle is 100% complete including the Bumper Bracket Cover Panels and Cab Corner Gravel Shields that are many times missing on the trucks. The engine is strong and runs smooth with no smoke. Transmission operates with no issues and shifts just as it came from the factory. There are a few things not yet completed that would need to be done to bring the truck to Complete Original Specifications: Battery is not correct for this period of truck. Seat Cover was meant to be temporary. Original Seat Cover is underneath, but damaged. Radio is correct, but not hooked up, and I have the wheel for the spare tire along with the hanging mechanism for under-bed stowage. * All Shop and Repair Manuals as well as other Books and Information shown in the pictures are included in the sell. Vehicle is being offered with a low reserve and is availabel for inspection approximately 45 minutes south of Atlanta, GA. ** There are two small paint chips which I have pictured that occured as vehicles was being re-assembled. These are small but I do want to make any bidder aware of these. There is left over paint for all colors used that will also go with the vehicle. ** The State of GEORGIA WILL NOT ISSUE a title for a vehicle of this age, so ownership will be transferred with Bill of Sale and Local County Tag Receipt. Vehicle has a current County Tag and Registration and is Insured. Driven only occasionally. The successful high bidder will submit a $500.00 Non-Refundable Deposit within 48 hours of close of Auction, with the Balance due within 5 Days. * CASH in Person or Bank Wire are requested.
