ONE  OWNER  FAMILY  VEHICLE

 

GUARANTEED  ONLY  38,044  MILES  AS  OF  TODAY!!!

 

I'VE KNOWN THIS TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH THE FAMILY SINCE THE 1960s.

 

HERE IS OUR STORY:

 

Remember back before there were gas stations on every corner, huge grocery stores and big-box home improvement stores?  Way-back-when -- there were small mom and pop General Merchandise stores that sold everything you needed; or they would order what you needed.  The original owner of this truck and his wife were the couple that ran the General Merchandise store that served our little community before all the big stores came in and took over.

 

The owner and his wife were loved by the community they supported.  They had an appartment above the store, and eventually built a small house behind the store.  If ever there was an emergency they were right there to help you and open the store.  They sold gas, butchered all the meat, served breakfast and lunch, sold clothes, hardware and building supplies of all kinds, feed, gardening supplies, etc.

 

The store was eventually closed after the couple passed away, and it was honered by the State of Georgia's House of Representatives and will always be recorded in history for what it meant to this little community.

 

Since the owner lived at the store, and had everything he needed he really didn't have to drive much to get anything.  We are about 7 miles from the state's farmer's market and he did drive up there to get supplies for the store and I'm sure other trips --  but all in all the truck was never really "used" like other trucks bought back in that time period...

 

Who am I?  I own the Auto Body Shop that was just 2 miles away from this store, and have a reputation for both fixing cars for insurance companies and performing restorations.  Many of the cars I've built have gone on to be sold at Barrett-Jackson, Mecum, Kruse International -- and into private collectons.  I've been in this area since 1962 and in my current shop since 1984. 

 

The family brought me this truck 22 years ago and asked me to "do a real good paint job on it - but don't make it like one of your show cars -- just something I can afford to make it look better."

 

The truck only had a few small dents in it -- nothing major at all.  The truck only had ONE rust spot in it on the bottom of the right cowl panel and it was fixed with only a small amount of mig welding -- no patch panel at all.

 

We de-trimed the truck, stripped it to bare metal, metal-prepped it, primed, sealed and sprayed it with PPG's Enamel paint -- single stage.  Then it was buffed, polished and all of the original trim was reinstalled.

 

Just to clarify:

 -- THE  TRUCK  HAS  ALL  OF  ITS  ORIGINAL  BODY PANELS

--- THE  TRUCK  HAS  ALL  OF  ITS  ORIGINAL  BODY  TRIM

---- THE  TRUCK  HAS  A  TITLE  WITH  THE  ORIGINAL  MILEAGE  STATED

-----  THE  TRUCK  HAS  NEVER  BEEN  WRECKED

------  THE  TRUCK  HAS  ONLY  BEEN  REPAINTED  ONCE

------  LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL MARKINGS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE HOOD AND HOW NICE THE ORIGINAL PAINT IS ON THE COWL -- TOO COOL!!!

 

PAINT:  Like I said, we painted it 22 years ago and it has been garage kept ever since, but the family has not treated it like a trailer queen -- they have used it a few times and it has collected a few scratches.  The pictures you see is exactly how it looked when the family brought it to me.  I have been doing some odds and ends to it so whoever ends up with it will get it looking a little nicer than what it does in the pictures.  BUT -- remember, we did not do a "show" quality paint job on it -- while it looks very-very nice, some of my lesser skilled employees did some of the work on it and it's great for a driver, even better than some "show" vehicles, but don't confuse this for one of my 15K paint jobs -- believe me -- I lost money on this paint job cause I did it for my friend.

 

Right now it just came from being in storage for a long time and it didn't run "just right" when the owner fired it up so they ended up changing the fuel pump and carb -- and yes, now the original parts are gone.  I've got the original plug wires as they were replaced with AC Delco, but the original plug wires are not any good.  I just drained the gas tank today and I will be working on getting it running correctly as the auction progresses.  Rest assured -- if you do not like this truck for any reason after checking it out in person there won't be any hard feelings.

 

The family is facing some financial obstacles and has asked me to sell it for them.  They also have the store for sale -- and trust me when I say if the store sells before the truck they will keep the truck!!!

 

Please look at all the pictures -- they should really tell the rest of the story.

 

I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU COME LOOK AT THE TRUCK IN PERSON -- IT IS JUST AN AMAZING FEELING OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS AND DRIVING IT -- YOU CAN DEFINATELY TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REBUILT TRUCK AND THIS ONE THAT IS ORIGINAL!!!

I would transport this truck most anywhere within the US for an additional fee as long as the truck and all shipping costs are paid for before the truck leaves my shop.
