1948 chevrolet pick up truck

1948 Chevrolet Pickup Additional Info:

General–Hi there, what we have here is a 1948 Chevrolet, 3600, flatbed. Yes, it has a clean notarized and transferable title. This truck came out of the western Montana wheat farm/ranch territory. The 1947 thru 1955 “Advanced Design” Chevy is one of the most sought after of all collector pickups, of these the most coveted is the five window design. However, any more these trucks pretty much fall into two categories: the first being a total basket case, beyond restoration, and good only for parts. The second category is one which is already restored and well beyond most budgets. This is the hard to find in between and is an excellent candidate for restoration. I do not normally advocate making a hot rod out of these old trucks, but since you will need to replace the engine a retromod or whatever they call them these days might be an option for this one.

Mechanical-The original engine is still in the truck but missing its cylinder head. The transmission, clutch, driveshaft and differential are all present and I believe are original. Beyond this I just do not know, as I have obviously never driven the truck.

Exterior- Nice overall condition very little rust through, the truck as stated, is a 5 window. Back in the day many Montana farmer/ranchers would buy a cab/chassis and then install their own custom built grain box, flatbed, water tanker, weed sprayer, wrecker, or whatever. When the old truck was set aside, the bed would then transfer to the next new truck. That seems to be the case with this little 48. In its present configuration you can go any direction you want. You could find an original box, or if I were to keep it, I would not do a thing to the body but put a nice oak or walnut floor on the bed. No matter whether restoration or hot rod is your goal, you are money and time ahead by starting with as solid and rust fee vehicle as you can possibly find, (see pictures). The truck does have 75 years of dents, dings, cracks, welds, paint chips and blemishes. The running boards are present and presentable. The splash pan that connects to the front bumper is almost always missing on these old trucks, but this one is unmolested. All tires hold air. For the buy it now price I will include a very nice set of back in the day west coast mirrors.

Interior– Not much to talk about here. The seat is original, or era correct and I believe has at some point been recovered. All gages and instruments are present as are all switches and knobs. . Neither the dash nor doors have been cut or modified in any way. Three windows are cracked.The interior of this truck is all there; if you are going for an original restoration - clean it, sand it, and paint it.If you are going for a hot rod, then you probably already have your own ideas.

Summary –The simplicity of an old pickup is what makes its restoration so popular and easy. This one would make a great project for a father and son/daughter, the guys in the shop, or whoever. The old truck deserves another chance in life to show up at your local car show, or for work with your business logo, race team, or cause on the doors.

Payment, Disclaimers, Storage, and Transportation- I require a nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 within 48 hours preferably by PayPal, and the remainder by bank to bank or cashier’s check or cash in person, prior to me sending you the title. Well, I have tried to represent the old truck as honestly and accurately as I can; please read this ad thoroughly and look closely at the pictures. The truck is sold as is, where is, and with no guarantee nor warrantee implied or specified.Make no mistake the truck is still a project, but did I mention it is a five window. I am very proud of my 100% eBay customer satisfaction rating and will answer questions. I will post some of them so that others may benefit. The truck is stored in a secure compound and can remain so if you pay the rent of $45 per month. If you send after the truck, I will help your shipper in any way I can. You should advise your shipper the truck does not move under its own power.

Good luck with your bidding, and thank you for your time spent in reading my ad.

Addendum 10 July 2023 - I advertised this truck as a five window. It is not, I based this ad on a truck I sold a while back that was a five window.
