 YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1955 CHEVROLET 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK.  I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR IN PRETTY MUCH OFF THE FARM CONDITION.  I PLANNED TO USE IT AROUND THE FARM AND MAKE A SUPPLY RUN NOW AND THEN.  WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IT HAD A MISS ON NUMBER 5 CYLINDER, A LATE MODEL SEAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND A ROTTED OUT PIECE OF PLYWOOD WAS IN THE BED.  I HAD A VALVE JOB PERFORMED AND REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS AT THE SAME TIME.  I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE FALL LIKE THAT.  I HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE LOWER END OF THE ENGINE OVERHAULED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS JUST USING TO MUCH OIL.  THE ENGINE HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AND RUNS GREAT.  IT RUNS GREAT NOW AND HAS PLENTY OF POWER.  I HAVE SPENT $4,300 JUST IN THE MOTOR.  THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ORIGINAL 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH THE SHIFT ON THE COLUMN.  THE REAR END IS THE ORIGINAL GEARING AND HAS BEEN RESEALED.  THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GONE THROUGH THE BRAKES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES FOR PROPER OPERATION.  I HAVE PURCHASED THE CORRECT SEAT AND HAD THE FRAME PAINTED AND RECOVERED.  IT ADJUST AND LEANS FORWARD AS DESIGNED.  I REPAINTED THE CAB AND THE FLOOR DID HAVE SOME RUST AND WAS FILLED AND PAINTED.  ALL THE SEALS FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL, CLUTCH, SHIFTER AND SUCH HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NEW FIREWALL PAD AND FLOOR MAT INSTALLED.  THIS IS NOT A FRAME OFF RESTORATION.  I WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN A NICE SOLID TRUCK TO DRIVE.  THE TAILGATE WAS MISSING, THE SIDE STEPS ON BED RUSTED OUT AND FRONT PANEL OF BED VERY BENT.  I INSTALLED BOTH NEW SIDE STEPS, FRONT BED PANEL AND TAILGATE AND LIKED THE COLOR SO THE REST OF THE TRUCK WAS PAINTED A SATIN BLACK.  THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY DARK GREEN AND THE FIREWALL AND RIMS ARE PAINTED DARK GREEN.  I USED SOME OLD RECYCLED FLOOR BOARDS FOR THE BED.  IT IS TONGE AND GROOVE AND IS HELD DOWN WITH CARRIAGE BOLTS.  THE REST OF THE BODY PANELS WERE FILLED AND THE WORST OF THE DENTS SMOOTHED OUT SOME.  FOR A SHOW TRUCK YOU WILL WANT TO REPLACE THE FENDERS AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR.  DON'T BRING A MAGNET.  I KNOW THERE IS PUTTY.  THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE SIDE WINDOW AND REAR WINDOW MAY BE ORIGINAL.  THE TRUCK HAS A STANDARD HEATER AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR.  THE DASH HAD BEEN CUT OUT FOR A MORE MODERN RADIO.  A TRIM BEZEL HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND A STATE OF THE ART AM/FM RADIO.  THE RADIO HAD A CD FEATURE BUT DOES NOT WORK.  TWO SPEAKERS ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH.  I HAVE INSTALLED A TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ON THE COLUMN AND HAVE REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHTS AND FROM PARKING LIGHTS FOR SINGLE LIGHT TURN, PARKING AND BRAKE LIGHTS.  ON THE OUTSIDE, THE LIGHTS APPEAR ORIGINAL.  THE ODOMETER SHOWS 2,046 MILES BUT THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ODOMETER.  I PURCHASED THE SPEEDOMETER USED LAST YEAR.  ALL THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING THE DOME LIGHT.  THE TWO FRONT TIRES ARE NEW BUT THE REAR TIRES ARE SOME OLDER SNOW TIRES THAT WERE ON THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT IT.  THERE IS A JACK AND LUG WRENCH BEHIND THE SEAT BUT I DO NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE.  I HAVE A RIM THAT HAS A LARGE HOLE RUSTED IN IT THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE.  I DRIVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK NOW AND THEN WHICH IS A 24 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IS A BALL TO DRIVE.    I HAVE A BARN ON THE FARM THAT NEEDS MY IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND FUNDS SO I RELUCTANTLY OFFER THE TRUCK FOR SALE.  I CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE THE TRUCK AWAY BUT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY.   THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.   PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.   I WILL BE HAPPY TO DELIVER THE TRUCK FREE FOR A 200 MILE RADIUS FROM FREDERICK, MARYLAND.
