1948 Chevy 3100 Pickup Truck !! Rat Rod, Patina, Shop Truck. on 2040-cars

1948 Chevrolet 3100 half ton pick-up. This truck is from Kansas and is in what I think is pretty good condition for an un-restored truck that has been outside for 66 years. It is mostly complete and has a patina that everyone is looking for right now. Truck looks to be original un-messed with condition. If you are looking for one to restore this one would be a good candidate because of its original and complete condition. If you want to build a patina hot rod the look of this one is tough to beat. Put it on that S10 frame with modern V8 or whatever. Or just use it for parts for another truck project. Your imagination is the limit. Please review the pictures carefully, ask questions. This is a 66 year old, non-operational truck. You decide its value. MECHANICAL CONDITION: Not presently running nor has it ran for many years. Has what looks to be the original six cylinder engine with original floor shift transmission. I think it’s a four speed. I have not tried to turn the engine over but I assume it is stuck. Transmission seems to go into gear but cannot verify its condition. Brakes don’t work. Safe to assume all need rebuilt, replaced, or at the very least taken apart and inspected. Truck dose roll and steer. I was able to load on my trailer with a small winch without any problem. Tires are in very poor condition but hold air for weeks, I assume they have tubes in them. Original 15” wheels with tabs for center caps-no center caps included with the truck. BODY CONDITION: You be the judge. Some might call this rough others only wish they could reproduce patina like this. Looks to be all original and un-messed with. The exception being the hood. The truck is red and the hood is from a green truck. Hood is included but not attached. No tail gate. No bed floor. Truck has rust in all the usual places for something that has been outside for 66 years. Cab corners, fender bottoms, floor board, kick panel area, etc. Grill bars are dented, missing emblems from hood. Has windshield and driver’s side door glass but they are in poor condition. Passenger side door glass is broken but window frame is there and rolls up and down. Doors shut and latch. I was attracted to the truck because of its patina and being mostly complete. Interior condition: Seat frame, gauges, radio delete panels, and dash chrome all present. Missing inside door mechanism for the passenger side. TITLE: Good clear and current Kansas title. Location: Located in Auburn Indiana (46706). Shipping: All shipping charges and arrangements are to be made by buyer. I can assist in loading but can’t single handedly load it. Truck does roll and steer. Tires hold air. No brakes, does not run. TERMS OF SALE Please remember this is a "PUBLIC AUCTION". As with all public auctions, the reserve price is not made public.
