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!!!
PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE IT: JERRY 770-474-0074 10am - 8pm EST 7 days a week.
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.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
