 Up for sale today is a 1959 Chevy flatbed 1 ton truck. Engine developed a rod knock, decided to pull the engine and completely rebuild, did the pulling part but got distracted with other projects and priorities, that was 5 years ago..... This truck started life in Montana as a U S Forest Service truck, it has spent the last 40 years here in dry Nevada, it has been owned by two different families and the federal government in it's life. It has 144,000 miles on it and is overall in good condition considering the age. There is some rust in the usual areas, the eyebrows, hinge pockets and fenders. The cab corners are in surprisingly good condition, they are often rusted out and a real pain to repair. The replacement eyebrows are readily available from several sources, I have had good luck with Grumpy's, they are online. The engine ran well without smoke or any problems till the rod started making noise. I could have pulled the pan and fixed the rod bearing but figured it would be nice to have hardened valve seats, etc. The drivers side window needs replaced; flat glass is super easy and inexpensive, probably less than $40 from your local glass shop. The windshield has a chip, repairable, so the windshield  doesn't have to be replaced, just repaired. There is a dent on the door, another on the passenger fender behind the bumper. The front bumper is thrashed; my boys, when they were idiot teenagers, got stuck and thought it was a good idea to pull it out with a choker... The seat was redone about 25,000 miles ago, it could use freshening but the springs and stuffing are good. Headliner ( solid)  is in great condition. There is a hole in the roof from the original USFS radio antenna. A cork sufficed for years to plug it. One tire is flat but seems to hold air long enough to allow loading. The overall appearance is good, the truck always gets a lot of comments. Please look at the pictures and ask questions. The pictures are part of the description, please refer to them to help ascertain condition. Thanks for your interest and good luck!
