SHARP RECENTLY COMPLETED DRIVER RESTORATION. This is a
beautiful post war Chevrolet, the last year for this body with so
many cool options. See all of the details below. Watch the video
then call Erick at 678-908-6006.
Cosmetic
- Paint/Body: Super straight and rust free body
with fresh paint. Beautiful two-tone burgundy on black. Paint is
driver quality with some orange peel, consistent from bumper to
bumper. A good wetsand and buff would bring this truck up to a show
quality shine.
- Interior: All new paint interior, original
color. Uncut and unmolested dash. All original gauges work except
the speedometer. New seat cover and floor mat. Headliner shows some
age with a little humidity sag.
- Glass/Windows: All glass is in excellent
condition. Windows roll up and down smoothly. Windshield rolls in
and out with ease.
- Trunk: Gorgeous carpentry on the new oak wood
bed, matching rails, and even custom aluminum framed wood bumper to
match.
- Undercarriage: Cleaned and painted with rust
prohibitive paint, amateur undercarriage paint job. Original rust
free floor pans and cab corners. Very clean and rust free
underneath, solid and rust free frame rails.
- Wheels/Tires: 8-bolt steel wheels with brand
new chrome caps and beauty rings. Brand new BF Goodrich tires.
Mechanical
- Drivetrain: 235 inline 6cylander with 3837004
casting number (55-57 models). Engine starts easily and runs
strong. Original 4 speed transmission with granny gear is a little
chunky and takes some getting used to shifting. The truck cruises
easily down the road and steers nice and straight.
- Lights/Electrical: Headlights, tail lights,
and brake lights all work properly.
- Brakes: Brakes stop straight. Emergency brake
works good. Slights scrubbing noise in the drums may be the brakes
needing service.
This is a really sweet and rare truck. Lat year for independent
headlights on top of the fenders, crank out windshield and so much
more. I am in love with this pre-war body style. Watch the video
then call Erick at 678-908-6006.
