Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1954

NO RESERVE!.
Selling at NO reserve at $1.00 and NO RESERVE is a fantastic start on a 1954 Chevrolet/GMC truck rat rod. Titled as a GMC and IS one. Which is a top level Chevy. This has the nicer one piece windshield as the earlier trucks has a two piece.. Hundreds already spent on this build as well as a lot of time. Put your spin on it and you will have one hell of a ride.This truck was found like you see it. It had been indoors for over 14 years previous. It was purchased last fall and that when the work and updates were done and are fresh. Nothing was done to the body or exterior to change it's appearance.
A lot of thought was put into this project so far . The motor is a new 355 4 bolt main/Edelbrock/TRW/Holley parts and the transmission is a 700R4 4 speed automatic. The motor and trans are new and have had run time prior being installed in the truck. So no guess work on a new start up.
The frame rails of the truck are GM and have not been cut or modified to accept the V8. The correct parts were sourced for the build and as you can see looks like the factory did it. Most Chevy Truck Rat builds you find are very questionable due to the front half of the frame rails hacked off and a Nova or Camaro sub frame welded on. NOT HERE. The steering box was moved and the right exhaust manifolds were found and installed. Most avoid this direction and notch the frame again not safe. I have included pics of both frame rails and again looks original.
What I forgot to do is take pics of the inside of the bed. The wood was removed. The plan was to cut up some old signs or something to that effect. The metal strips for the wood floor and cross bracing is there. Bed sides and tail gate is consistent with the rest of the truck. Doors open and shut good and are not out of alignment. Solid where it needs to be and the maximum amount of real (not acid etched made to look old) rust to look cool.
All new hardware alternator, Hi torque racing starter, belts hoses etc. A new aluminum radiator and trans cooler is in place.Upgraded master cylinder and power booster mounted. The rear end is a Camaro 10 bolt. Truck has been updated to 5 on 5 bolt pattern for unlimited wheel changes. No six lug wheel adapters needed. All new wiring kit has been mounted and needs completed to start and run the vehicle. Has new switches as well.
To sum it up. This is a project that still needs finished. It is non running and non driving and ready for you to take it to the next level. If you have to ask what it will take to finish I will not and can not answer. Everyone's expectations are different. That means what I think and what you think is different. If you do not know what or how a custom built vehicle is please find someone that does before you bid. With the right skills could be completed in a weekend or two.
Can be viewed by appointment only. It is located in Ohio 45685. Wheels and tires pictured are not part of the sale and will come with rollers. If you need a shipper I can provide or work with yours. Truck rolls and steers easy to load. Selling as is and as seen. Clear title in hand ready to roll. Please do your due diligence. I will not be held responsible for any incorrectness or errors or of something I might of unknowingly missed. Please be responsible and know what it is you are buying.
Questions? Please use the ebay tab "ask seller a question" Email is the best method of contact for me. Keep in mind the truck isn't in my living room. Email first, I know I am old too and don't like to type either. If you still need to talk I will call you. Please no questions about price. I do not have any price in mind. If I did I would put a sign in it. This is an auction. If you want it bid. If you want it now make a crazy I cannot refuse offer.
I expect a $500. deposit sent to me and received within three days. This is important. If you plan on picking up the truck and paying in person that is fine. Deposit must STILL be sent and received prior to making any trip. It doesn't matter if you are 5 miles or 500. Most just send payment and balance at the same time and that is fine too. Payment in full must be received within 7 days.
If you cannot wait until the sale ends make an offer I cannot refuse otherwise bid like everyone else. I do not have any price in mind or listed for sale anywhere else. This is a true sale so enjoy.
