Up for sale is this 1951 Chevy pick up truck. I was told about the truck from a friend of mine who knew it was going to be up for sale and told me about it knowing I collect and sell old trucks. I bought it and brought it home to my dealership Teddy's Auto Sales waukon iowa (look me up on the web or visit my ebay store to see more of my stuff) I had my mechanics look at it to make a call if I should paint it etc. My guys convinced me to leave it original the way I got it cosmetically as while i...t has some rust here and there, it is overall solid and has a really nice patina original paint look. Check out the video and pics. I clear coated over the original paint to preserve it. I had them get it running and driving. The 6 cyl engine runs great with no knocks misses or smoke. I bypassed the original wire harness as it is old looking. I have it bypassed as a 12 volt system now but you can go back to 6 volt pretty easily if you would want. The lights work. The dash interior lights are working as well. The truck ran and drove good down the road and shifted all gears like it should. clutch is good. It is running off a brand new gas tank (pictured before I put it in) The tires are older/weather checked etc but do hold air. I hooked up one brake that stops the truc, fine for loading or around the block type thing but you will want to finish it off. i put on a new master cylinder and rear wheel cylinder and line. It handles well and steers true for what I imagine a 1951 3600 truck should. Really a fun driving truck. I videoed and pictured it really well so you can see what the truck is. feel free to call me with any questions. this truck comes with a clean and clear title ready for you to register. the plates go with the truck but the plate topper and dash magnets and vintage air cooler do not go with the sale as they are part of my personal collection. As you bid keep in mind this is a unrestored truck you can take to the next level but enjoy driving it while you tinker. As everybody has their own opinion on what A classic unrestored survivor truck should be, I recommend coming to inspect the car or hire ebay to do a independent inspection for you, (note this should be done before the auction ends and not after.) make sure to study the pics and video so you see what you are getting. I require a non refundable 200 dollar paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction end, if I do not get the deposit within the time frame or before you come for the truck, I will assume you are a dreamer or a scammer and not serious about buying it. I can help recommend shippers i have used in the past who have been very reasonable. If you have any questions at all, call me 563-562-0330
