==============================================================================

WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WE PLANNED A COMPLETE RESTORATION BUT AFTER THE GRANDCHILDREN BECAME INVOLVED WE HAD SECOND THOUGHTS

THEY SAID "HE LOOKS JUST LIKE TOW-MATER FROM CARS"!

=========================

===TITLE AND IDENTIFICATION TAG MATCH PERFECTLY===

ONE OF THE PRECAUTIONS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN BY THE OLD TRUCK BUYER IS IN REGARDS TO THE SERIAL NUMBER.. IN THE LATE 40s AND EARLY 1950s, MANY STATES FOUGHT TENACIOUSLY TO THWART THE PROLIFIC MOTOR VEHICLE THIEVES.. LEGISLATORS IN SOME STATES DETERMINED THAT THE TRUE SERIAL NUMBER SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE ENGINE, RATHER THAN THE NUMBER THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE EASILY REMOVED DOOR PLATE. THIS WORKED OUT FINE UNTIL THE OLD ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND THE SERIAL NUMBER BECAME DISCARDED. IT WAS SENT OUT IN THE SCRAP... NOW, YEARS LATER, THIS IS BECOMING AN INCREASINGLY SERIOUS PROBLEM, WITH TITLES TRANSFERRED THAT SHOW A SERIAL NUMBER THAT DOES NOT MATCH----ANYTHING....ANYWHERE ! ! PLEASE NOTICE THE TWO PICTURES REGARDING OUR OFFERING.. WE HAVE ILLUSTRATED THAT OUR TITLE AND SERIAL NUMBER TAG MATCH PERFECTLY.. MANY CANNOT MAKE THIS CLAIM..

STOVE BOLT POWER SUPPLY

EXAMPLE BELOW IS ON DISPLAY AT 'DOWNTOWN DESOTO'

==================================================

WHAT DO THEY MEAN WHEN THEY CALL IT A 'STOVEBOLT' 6 CYLINER ? ?

ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, THESE ENGINES DERIVED THE STOVE BOLT NICKNAME WHEN THEY WERE FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1929.. THEY WERE CONSIDERED AN ENGINEERING MARVEL AND IT SURPRISED MANY TO LEARN THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE EXTERIOR ENGINE BOLTS WERE 1/4 INCH BY 20 THREAD...THESE WERE THE VERY SAME BOLTS THAT WERE USED BY MANY WOOD STOVE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TIME, THUS; STOVE BOLT SIX.. OUR LITTLE TRUCK RUNS EXCELLENT, SHIFTS THROUGH ALL OF IT'S GEARS CORRECTLY AND IT'S STEERING IS TIGHT AND TRUE..

========================

===THE TRUE STORY REGARDING THE CURVED CORNER GLASS WINDOWS===

CALLED 'NEW VUE'

THESE CURVED GLASS WINDOWSWERE A STAND ALONE, $26.50 OPTION. THEY WERE CALLED 'NEW VUE' BY CHEVROLET AND DUE TO THE DOUBLE PANEL INSIDE CAB CONSTRUCTION, THEY CANNOT BE ADDED AS A POST PRODUCTION OPTION. OURS ALSO HAS THE LIGHTEST GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF ANY OF THE 1951 CHEVY TRUCKS.. THIS WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LIGHT DUTY HAULER AND AS SUCH, LIVED A RATHER PAMPERED LIFE..IN OUR CASE, IT WAS PROBABLY TRANSPORTING GOOSE FEATHERS TO A PILLOW FACTORY. THE WEIGHT RATING IS ONLY 4600 POUNDS AND IT HAS A CURB WEIGHT OF ONLY 3100 POUNDS.. NOW, IF WE WERE FORCED TO DO THE MATH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PAYLOAD OF ONLY 1500 POUNDS MINUS THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGERS OR ABOUT 1050 POUNDS...NOT EXACTLY HEAVY DUTY HAULING, IS IT ? ?

======================

AND
CHECK OUT THE TRUCK..

WE SAY "RELAX", BECAUSE MANY TIMES, AS CAUTIOUS ADULTS, WE FIND OURSELVES WORRYING MORE ABOUT THE SELLER THAN THE PRODUCT.. IS THE SELLER REALLY JUST A FEW HUNDRED MILES AWAY... OR FIVE HUNDRED MILES AWAY OR ARE THEY IN PAKISTAN, ETHOPIAOR INDIA ? ? ? THE JIM RAYSIK AUTO GROUP IS IN SMALL TOWN CLINTON, MISSOURI AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 30 YEARS.. POPULATION 9000.. SMALL ENOUGH THAT IF YOU WOULD CALL THE LOCAL POLICE STATION, YOU'D GET A REFERENCE, A GOOD ONE. SMALL ENOUGH THAT IF YOU WERE TO CALL THE HENRY COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, YOU'D GET A REFERENCE, A GOOD ONE.. AND IF YOU'RE STILL WORRIED ABOUT TRICKERY, LOOK US UP ON THE NET, CALL THE NUMBER THAT'S LISTED.. WE'RE HERE/WE'RE REAL, SOOOOOOO.. PLEASE RELAX..
