This is the last of it's kind. Produced only three months into 1955. Different in that it has a one piece windshield and an open drive line instead of a torque tube like older models. This was a Texas truck kept in dry storage for 40 years. Body is very straight, clean and rust free. Paint is old and not original. Floor is near perfect with only a dime-sized hole in the trans cover plate which is replaceable.
Original matching numbers engine goes with truck if you want it. It needs to be rebuilt, but has a rebuilt head attached. It has been nicely replaced with a 1961 235 and 12-volt alternator. Original 3-speed column shift trans shifts nice. Have replaced or rebuilt brakes including wheel and master cylinder, carburetor, clutch, pressure plate, fuel pump, door glass, headlight switch and all locks and handles with matching key sets. This truck is all original except for newer engine and 15 inch wheels with decent tires.
For the record, this truck does need a few things. Grill and front bumper has been dented. Leaving that choice to the new owner, they can be replace through many suppliers. Windshield, back glass and wing windows will need replacing. Corner curved glass is good. Needs hood latch and bed flooring.
I have described condition the best I can. If you have further questions, please call Dave at 402-650-3813. Winning bidder is required to deposit $500 which is non-refundable into my Pay-Pal account within 2-days from auction end. Balance due before releasing truck and clear title.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.
