1955 PANEL TRUCK, ONE TON LOW MILEAGE EX FIRE COMPANY, 55

1955 Chevrolet Other Pickups

HERE IS A VERY LOW MILEAGE 1955 FIRST SERIES ONE-TON PANEL TRUCK. IT WAS ACQUIRED FROM THE ORIGINAL FIRE COMPANY OWNER IN 1987 AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 3000 MILES DURING THE LAST 30 YEARS.
THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE IN COLOR. IT RECENTLY EMERGED FROM A FRIEND'S BODY SHOP IN DODGE TRUCK BRIGHT RED. THERE WAS NO RUST-THRU ON THE TRUCK EXCEPT FOR SOME VERY SMALL PIN-HOLE SPOTS VISIBLE WHEN THE FENDERS WERE REMOVED. THOSE SPOTS WERE IN THE AREA WHERE FENDER WELT JOINED THE FENDERS TO THE BODY AND WERE BRAZED SHUT. THERE ALSO WERE A COUPLE OF MINOR DENTS IN THE BODY WHICH HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.
THE ENGINE IS THE STOCK 248 CUBIC INCH GMC INLINE SIX AND THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ORIGINAL FOUR-SPEED MANUAL ON THE FLOOR. TIRES ARE HEAVY DUTY TUBE- TYPE 17 INCH ON THE CORRECT SPLIT RIMS. THESE TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THEM. THE GRILLE AND BUMPERS WERE ORIGINALLY WHITE LIKE THE REST OF THE TRUCK AND WERE CHROMED AS PART OF THE REFINISHING PROCESS. A PAIR OF CHROME MIRROR ARMS AND ROUND MIRRORS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.
A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP DRAINED THE FUEL TANK RECENTLY, BLEW OUT THE FUEL LINES AND CHANGED THE ENGINE OIL. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE WHEEL CYLINDERS WERE ALSO BLED. THE TRUCK STARTS EASILY, RUNS WELL AND SHIFTS AND STOPS AS IT SHOULD. A NEW 6-VOLT BATTERY WAS INSTALLED. THE WIPERS NEED TO BE REINSTALLED. YOU WILL NOTE SOME WIRES HANGING DOWN FROM THE DASH IN A FEW OF THE PHOTOS. SOME TIDYING UP WILL BE NEEDED UP IN THIS AREA AND AT LEAST PARTIAL REWIRING AS HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, STOP LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS ARE NOT PRESENTLY WORKING.
THIS PANEL TRUCK MAY BE SEEN BY APPOINTMENT IN RANSOMVILLE, NEW YORK. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE FIRE COMPANY CONCERNING THE MILEAGE WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ACQUIRED AND WILL PROVIDE A CERTIFICATION OF CURRENT ACCUMULATED MILEAGE TO THE PURCHASER.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME. I AM FAMILIAR WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPORTING A VEHICLE FROM THE US. TRANSPORTATION TO THE PORT OF EXPORT AND ANY BROKERAGE CHARGES WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.
