Description

Pretty clean little truck. I picked this up recently to tinker with and haven't found as much time as I'd like to be able to play with it. I bought this because of how solid and unmolested it is. It's extremely original, odometer shows just under 45k and it's possible that is correct as the first digit doesn't appear to be angled at all, I can't say for sure and honestly it doesn't really matter but kinda cool. The dash hasn't been cut for a radio which is hard to find these days. It's no power house with the 250 6 cylinder but it runs nice and smooth and starts every time. Everything is present and correct under the hood. Trans shifts great. Being a custom deluxe model it wasn't a loaded up truck but it did come from the factory with AC which is all that really matters since the interior will need to be redone if you want to restore anyhow. Body is pretty solid as it's been a California truck its whole life, not much rust except for a small bubble on each cab corner and a rust spot in the front passenger side fender underneath the battery which is quite common. Tires are good for a while, the fronts are different from the rear but they're all the same size. I have a really nice red seat that can go with the truck, it's a cloth seat and has no tears, looks great. All in all this is a great platform to build from or daily drive. My plan was to clean up the interior, drop it, and enjoy. If I keep it much longer I probably will. Also I pulled the door panels to replace the locks, I wasn't going to put them back on as they're pretty sun damaged and I would prefer to replace but if you'd prefer they be on I will reinstall. It is for sale locally so I have the right to end auction early. These squares are getting more difficult to find in original condition and prices are starting to creep up. I've owned over 15 of these square body Chevs and if you're into these like I am this is a good one to start with. I can help with shipping as far as meeting and getting the truck to a shipper but obviously the rest is up to you. Truck is located in Bakersfield California. If you're wondering why it has Idaho plates it's because that is where I am from and it's much cheaper to register a vehicle there ;) if additional info or pics are needed message me through eBay and I'll text whatever you need.
