Vehicle Description
Twenty years ago, the past owner of this truck spent a boat load
(or truck load) of cash to have this truck completely stripped down
to bare metal and had it painted ?Midnight Blue?. It?s stunning.
It?s simply amazing what a heated garage, meant specifically for
cars, will do for the preservation of a car/truck. The inside of
the cab was also stripped down, and had all of the hard surfaces
painted. New seat coverings, head liner, and door panels, etc. The
owner also used stainless a steel plate between the tailgate and
bumper to bridge the gap normally seen. to add another touch of
class, Look closely and you will also note that the tailgate has a
recessed cutout for the license plate and a new light hidden above
it to shine the light on the license plate. What makes this truck
better than all others is that it?s all original. The original 6
cylinder 235 engine has been rebuilt as well as the transmission,
the Hydromatc transmission is one of the most unique inventions
you?ve ever seen. The demand for manual transmissions eventually
meant the demise, of the Hydromatic. The Chevrolet 235-cubic-inch
is known as one of the great Chevrolet engines, noted for its power
and durability. This 235-cubic-inch (3.9 L) version was added to
cars in 1950 to complement the new Powerglide automatic
transmission, and 3.55:1 rear differential. Hydraulic lifters were
used in the Powerglide 235 and a fully pressurized lubrication
system was introduced in 1953, but only in cars ordered with the
Powerglide transmission For anyone not thrilled about the
headliner, door panels or seats, can opt to ask us about changing
them out to something different, or color neutral. Jim has already
got a plan for the trucks interior and would be happy to talk to
any serious buyer about these options. This is a very rare numbers
matching truck with all original equipment, along with the very
rare Hydromatic transmission. Because they didn?t make a lot if
them, demand goes up. If you have any questions please reach out to
