Meet Miss Libby, a 1956 Chevy 3200 pickup which started it's life as an IGA delivery store truck in Champion Nebraska. I purchased the truck at a tractor auction several years ago. At that time the lettering on the doors was still ledgeable although fading. The truck was running and we drove it home. After some serious consideration we decided to enhance the existing lettering and at that time we changed the original name to Libby's IGA after my granddaughter. With the exception of the roof and visor we left the original paint in tact and painted the roof and visor white along with a little tasteful pin stripping. The bed is as we found it except we applied 10 coats of polyurethane on the wood and clear coated the bed sides. We added a new oak rack, the S&H green stamp sign and the 7up sign in the bed. The original seat was recovered and the rest of the interior left as we found it. This truck still has it's original engine and 4 speed transmission as well as it's original shocks. The underside of the truck was steam cleaned and painted however we did not attempt to clean the engine and tranny. We replaced the exhaust, windshield, radiator, belts, and hoses. 4 new B.F. Goodrich Silver town bias ply wide whites were added along with new hubcaps and vintage trim rings painted red. We rebuilt the carburator, replaced the headliner and visors. As you can imagine this truck gets lots of attention and appeared on the front page of the Bellevue, Ohio Gazette in June of this year. The truck runs great, shifts fine, all lights and turn signals work as do all the gauges, horn, wipers, and heater. You could drive this truck anywhere. The speedometer was disconected when we got it and the odometer is not working so the true mileage is unknown. The rear pig has a small leak and it does burn a little oil. The licence plates, tag toppers and wooden box in the bed are not included in this auction. This truck is available for inspection during the auction and I highly recommend you come see it in person. Please ask questions as this 57 year old truck is being sold as is. My phone number is 419-569-3361 or you can email questions thru ebay. We have decided to re-list the truck before the Hershey swap meet. If you can't pay, then don't bid.
