Description of 1955 Chevrolet Other Pickups

1955 CHEVY 3100 (1/2 ton)BIG BACK WINDOW / SHORT BED / STEP SIDE
Up for your consideration is my hard to find 1955 Chevy 3100 Big Window, Step Side / Short Bed. As you can see from the pictures the patina on the truck has a great weathered look.
PROS:
Highly sought after BIG BACK WINDOWALL glass is in great shape with no cracks
Highly sought after Short Bed / Step Side
Newly (professionally) rebuilt / recovered bench seat
Uncut dash with factory gauges
Newer tires
Brand new Interstate Battery
No evidence of collision / body lines and gaps straight
Minimal rust considering it's unrestored condition(from what I can see there is no body filler on the truck or attemptedamateur body repairs ... body appears to be original and untouched)
Electrical works as it should
Starts / Stops / Runs / Drives
3 Seatbelts installed
Freshly sanded and lightly clear coated to smooth and preserve patina
No rust / rot along, or in, the drip rails
No rust / rot under roof lip above windshield
No rust / rot around windshield or back window
Frame is straight and solid with only expected surface rust
Original "3 on the tree" manual transmission
Steering is tight and quite easy for being manual steering

CONS:
Wood in bed appears to be original and is deteriorated
Exterior cab corners have typical rust, however, inner cab corners are good (repairable)
Doors have rust starting on lower area (repairable)
Both front fenders have typical rust on the lower rear area behind the tire (alsorepairable with inexpensive patch panels from LMCTruck)
Horn currently not working, but it was last week ... I'll look into it.

LOOK AT THE PICTURES CLOSELY TO SEE WHAT I'VE DESCRIBED. I CAN SEND MORE DETAILED PHOTOS TO SERIOUS BUYERS IF REQUESTED. OVERALL, THE TRUCK IS IN GREAT SHAPE FOR BEING 64 YEARS OLD AND UNRESTORED. THIS IS NOT A "BARN FIND" THAT HAS BEEN RODENT INFESTED FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS. IT WAS DRIVEN AND ENJOYED UP UNTIL ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO.
The truck can be enjoyed as is and/or isdefinitely worthy of a full restoration if new owner desires.

I can't emphasize enough that if youhavequestion, please ask them before bidding. I've beenactive oneBay for 16 years and I value my feedback. I have bought and sold MANY old vehicles oneBay and have had all 100% positive transactions up until recently. The last truck I sold ended up falling short of the buyer'sridiculousexpectations in spite of answering all his questions and the many pictures. He chose to give me negative feedback and accuse me of being "dishonest" and of "horriblymisrepresenting the truck". It'sunfortunate he chose to do that and I'm currently seeking recourse througheBay. Worst caseeBay needs to allow sellers the chance to post a rebuttal and to give feedback on the buyer. eBay needs to step up to the plate and allow sellers a fair shake at defending themselves asthey allow buyers freereign to slam yourfeedback and good name without just cause. Anyway, enough moaning about that. I want the new owner to behappy with theirpurchase just as I want to be happy with the sale.
Reason for the sale .... I simply have too many vehicles and not enough time to enjoy them all.

Housekeeping:Please ASK ALL QUESTIONS, have funds in place, and permission BEFORE bidding. It takes a lot of time and money to list on ebay and I don't want to waste my, or anyone elses, time. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I'm willing to help on my end to make sure all goes well with your transport at pick up time. Truck is 64 years old and is being sold AS IS with no warranty expressed or implied. PLEASE KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO BID AND RESEARCH VALUES AND OTHER SIMILAR TRUCKS BEFORE BIDDING. I'm not a dealer. I've described the vehicle as straight forwardly as I can. To serious bidders, if you want to see ANYTHING that isn't pictured I'm happy to take additional photos of what you'd like to see and email them to yo, just ask. I'm willing to discuss the truck on the phone with serious buyers, simply email me your phone number and I will call you. I'll consider ending the aution early if you would like to make an offer that's good for both of us. Good Luck !!
