My wife purchased this truck in the early 1990's with the intention of driving it and restoring it back to the original factory condition. 

This truck is a standard model cab, 3 speed Manual Column Shift with a heater.  It also has the factory correct/original am radio not hooked up.  To our knowledge, my wife is the 3rd owner and our belief is it has always been a California truck (current registration is South Dakota but it has never been there). 

THE NOT SO GOOD......
It has rust in all the usual places; a little worse on the right upper rocker panel and right lower door area (nothing that can't be repaired).  NO RUST goes through completely to the exterior.  No salt used on the roads in Southern California where this truck has been.

: - )  NOW FOR THE GOOD PART : - )
We started to plan for a restoration because all the original parts were (and still are) on this truck except the hubcaps.  It runs good; clutch and pressure plate have less than a 1000 (one thousand) miles on it and a new battery, cables and regulator were installed this month.  Oil changed in engine and air filter as well as fresh valve adjustment.  Spare tire and wheel included (although no hanging mechanism which can easily be obtained).

When we bought this truck, the speedometer / odometer did not work so we had no idea what the actual mileage was.  About 15 years ago we had the speedometer / odometer repaired and the mileage is currently at about 1700 miles.  Yes!  That's not a typo.... we only put about 1700 miles on this truck in the past 15 years!

New Restoration parts included:
New carpet and reupholstered original equipment seat installed
Interior Mirror and New glove box installed

All the following items listed are new in the box (these parts were going to be installed during the restoration): 
Front and Rear Window Rubber
Driver and Passenger side Felt lined window channels
Wind wing rubber kit
New tail lamp lens and gaskets
Extra rear view mirror

The previous owner moved the signal light switch out of the column and hung it under the dash (it works).  We hung after market gauges under the dash (easily removed) and  original idiot lights are still operational.  It also has an aftermarket am/fm cassette player attached under the dash but not permanently mounted to eliminate any modifications / holes in the original dash (easily removed).  This truck runs and drives as it should but if the buyer chooses, this will make a great winter restoration project.  If you follow ebay, two weeks ago a restored 1965 Chevrolet Step side short bed sold for $21,600.   

This truck comes with an original era shop manual (not the small Haynes or Chilton's type), new points, condenser and u-joints in a box.  It also comes with an excellent condition locking Delta Aluminum Diamond Plate tool box (clamped, not drilled, to the bed) $300 item.

To make it clear, this truck is a turn key, fully operational non restored running truck with about $2000.00 worth of fresh parts ready for your restoration..... or a daily driver as it sits!

This truck comes with a fully transferrable Clear, South Dakota Title so ownership can be transferred to your state.
