This chevy 3100 1/2 ton short box truck was purchased at a estate sale where i was told the previous owner used it as a daily driver. it was put in storage after he passed away. I bought the truck and brought it home here to iowa. I put a new battery in it, I put on a new brake master cylinder that stops the truck the way it should. I installed a new gas tank. i was told it was stored for some time before i got it, and that the previous owner soaked the engine with diesel fuel/marvel mystery oil to keep the engine lubed up. after we rebuilt the car, put new tune up parts on, and bypassed the 6 volt system to a 12 volt/made headlights work etc, we fired it up and noticed most of the gauges worked and the engine ran great. we drove the truck up to 45 mph. It handled the way a 1955 truck drives in my opinion, a little play the faster you go but nothing overly concerning to me. The previous ownerreplaced the original rear end with a highway geared chevy rear axle that lets the truck cruise at higher speeds. I noticed under idle no smoke but when under acceleration I saw smoke. In my opinion its the diesel fuel/mystery marvel oil burning off from storage. watch the video to see both low idle and when we get on it the smoke amounts. the upgraded 235 6 cyl engine has no knocks or misses and runs strong. we ran it for around 40 minutes and it did not over heat etc.it has a vintage visor and hood ornament it that sets the truck off well. it has the original seat with a seat cover on it. the original upholstry is intact and usable but we left the seat cover on it for the video. the glass is in the truck as pictured (rear window has cracks and one vent window has cracks) ) the truck shifts all 3 gears and reverse the way it should.The floors look solid, frame looks solid and the doors open and shut the way they should as video shows. the hood opens and shuts the way it should. windows roll up and down but need lubing. Again look at the pics watch the video so you can see what it is. In my opinion this is a entry level daily driver truck that had a amateur paint job and retained the original dings and dents and solid metal. in my eyes, there was very little filler used when it was done. you can take it to the next level if you would want or just leave it the way it is and have fun with it without tying up a lot of money. i recommend coming to inspect it in my showroom teddys auto sales waukon iow, or hire eaby to do a independent inspection so you feel confident in what you are getting. The license plates and plate toppers and dash magnets do not go with the sale as they are only used for display in my showroom. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as it is for sale locally. This comes with a clean title matching the numbers ready for you to register. I require a 200 dollar non refundable 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! call me with any questions !!
