Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Up for auction is a 1948 Chevrolet 3800 Five Window Pickup. This truck has lived its entire life in a 20 mile radius of Kingsport, TN. I have owned this truck since 1989 but finished the restoration in 2006. There are approx. 900 miles on this restoration. It is a really fun truck to drive & it really gets the attention!! Most of the comments are about the quality of the paint, the wheels and the fact that the bed is 9 feet long. Please use email to ask questions or to schedule a viewing.
