1948 CHEVROLET STYLEMASTER SEDAN DELIVERY, SOLID TEXAS CAR, GREAT STREET ROD

Description for Chevrolet Other 1948

Taking offers on a solid and very hard to find 1948 Chevy Sedan Delivery. This is a car, t is NOT the Panel Truck. Solid body, s it was originally from Texas. It was repainted in laquer at one time and it is checking and cracking. I feel this adds to its character and planned to leave the paint as is and drive it as a hot rod. The right quarter or fender was not rusted or dented. The laquer was coming off, o it was sanded and primed. I can't find a single dent in the body of this car! I did find one ding in the right rear bumperette. The chrome has some pitting and rust as seen in pics.There are some holes in the floor, ut easily repaired. The frame is solid. It still has the original 216 I6 engine and three-in-the tree. It runs well enough to drive around the block or pull onto a trailer. The engine does not smoke and has normal oil pressure, ut it runs rough. I believe the rockers may be overtightened, s it does not tap as a solid lifter engine should. I do believe these had solid lifters, o someone may have overtightened them thinking it was hydraulic. The odometer reads 53,500 miles, nd the numbers are straight and true. I believe it may be the original mileage based on the straightness of the body and lack of smoke. Also, he driveline feels tight. I may try adjusting the lifters if I get a chance, ut it's hard on the back (herniated discs).
My plan was to install an S10 frame under it (I have an extremely solid '98 S10 in another auction), r a IFS kit, hen an LS1 and 6-speed and Camaro disc brake posi rear (which I have and may be available at extra cost). It has been converted to 5 X 4-3/4" bolt pattern from the original 6 X 5.5". Front disc brakes (drilled and slotted rotors) and a new aluminum dual reservoir master cylinder was installed. The headlights were changed to 12 volt, ut the car will need to be wired. The original glass lens it still on the tail light, nd I planned on adding two more and using the center as a third brake light. The glass is all good and the windows roll up and down. And yes, he rear side windows came that way from the factory! It also has the optional wind-up clock, ut it's not working. If you tap it, t will click for a second. It seems to have been over-wound, o it should be fixable. It also has the optional ashtray. I have some, ut not all of the moldings. I planned to fill the holes and smooth it anyway. Come take a look and make an offer. I think you'll be impressed. I have too many vehicles and not enough time and space. Plus the old back is hurting! These are worth $35-$50,000 when finished. Call with questions or offers at 724-523-2947. MAKE ME AN OFFER. CASH TALKS!! The car is located near Jeannette, a., ip code 15644. I'm right off US Route 30, bout 25 miles east of Pittsburgh. THE TITLE IS NOT BACK FROM THE DMV AT THIS TIME, UT I WILL HAVE IT WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS. Thanks, teve AGAIN, ALL ME AT 724-523-2957 TO DISCUSS DETAILS OR OFFERS.
