Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1948

You are looking at a very cool old Tow truc, 1948 Chevy CO, ( cab over engine ) one and a half ton truc, with operational tow hoo, This truck runs and drives goo, and stops as it shoul, the winch is operationa, the clutch is on the Driver's side running boar, and the shift handles are inside the be, for in/out, fast slo, , there is only cable on the center dru, and it works well with the sling. This being an old survivor truc, don't expect it to be perfec, I have had this for a few year, and driven it to show, but only during the da, I think I had the lights o, and one headlight was o, I don't know about the taillights . But it would not take much to wire up a complete syste, The body is very soli, the cab corners are the best I have seen on a survivo, with no rust throug, the fenders are soli, to, with their share of scratche, and other blemishe, but easily workable . The hood ornament/badge is broke, as are some of the window glas, the important 'corner windows are good thoug, and the rest is flat glass and can be cut . the tires hold air and are roun, but need to be replaced soon . bu, they have been holding air for the last three year, and get it around every time I need to move it . The step on the driver's side entry are in great shap, bu, the top step on the passenger side has been repaired with a plat, and is also easily repairabl, the seat is in good shap, just very fade, I have extra gauge, as I don't remember which wor, , the truck has been converted to 12 vol, and charges like it shoul, I have parked it for six month, outsid, and it starts right u, and fires on all cylinders fin, and does not smoke at all ( I say easily repairabl, but, I am just a mechani, bu, I can duplicate body panel, with body line, ( just made the rear quarter body corner on a 30 Model A ford Briggs body ) I even do professional stainless trim restoration . What I am getting at i, I have had "so called" professional body men at my plac, and they tell me their skillset says the tiny dings i, say, a door ski, call for a new door ski, then I tell them that they are not much of a body ma, if they can't repair a dent,and I proceeded to "metal finish" said doo, ( metal finish i, no bondo) bu, he, I am just a mechanic ))there are a few dings in the grill, and a KILLER push bar / bumpe, the bed has the ol, square do, diamond plate on the corner, and is metal covered wood on the large flat portions of the front and sides. The truck is powered b, what I believe is a 270 Gimm, inline si, It has the "updraft " carburetor that works wel, the truck actually rides pretty smoot, considering the huge stacks of leaf springs You could jump in this truck and drive it anywher, as long as you are not in a hurr, and remember to pump the brakes when you need to stop . Just a great old truck to driv, and sho, as is . or a super solid base to restore . If you are looking for a perfect show truc, with a paint job that has hundreds upon hundreds of hours into the body and paint, look elsewher, and pay $60,000 plu, but if you want a drivable survivo, with 68 years into the paint and bod, for this perfect patin, thank you for your tim, and thanx for looking in Joe's Garag, please feel free to look at my 100% positive feedback and about m, Know who you are dealing with ! ! also feel free to look at my yar, and projects and even a video or two on my Facebook page, Joe Roone, Billings, Montan, or Joe's Garag, Montana .
