OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE

TOP VALUE RATED

CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF...GO TO ANY OF THE MAJOR BOOKSELLERS, BORDERS, BARNES & NOBLE OR MAYBE YOUR LOCAL NEWSTAND.. PURCHASE A COPY OF THE 'OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE'.   THIS PERIODICAL IS CONSIDERED TO BE "THE" PREMIER VALUE PRICE GUIDE BY MOST OLD CAR ENTHUSIASTS... ACCORDING  TO THIS PUBLICATION, THE CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK FROM 1947 THROUGH 1953  IS RATED TO BE THE MOST VALUABLE  CHEVROLET PICKUP IN THE COLLECTOR VEHICLE MARKETPLACE TODAY !!! THESE TRUCKS ARE RATED EVEN HIGHER THAN THE ULTRA SCARCE PICKUPS OF THE EARLY 1930's AND THEY HAVE A VALUE WHICH FAR EXCEEDS THE HEAVY DUTY IRON OF THE MUSCULAR 1960's..IN FACT, AT MECUUM AUCTIONS RECENTLY, ONE OF THESE LITTLE  TRUCKS IN NUMBER ONE CONDITION JUST BROKE OVER THE $61,000 MARK !

MOST COLLECTORS AGREE

THAT THE 5 WINDOW CABS ARE THE BEST !   THIS '5 WINDOW' NAME DEPICTS AND DESCRIBES THE SMALL CURVED CORNER WINDOWS.. THESE WERE NOT STANDARD ON THESE TRUCKS BUT INSTEAD WERE A $26.50 OPTION.. CHEVROLET CALLED THESE WINDOWS "NEW VUE" AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO PREVENT BLIND SPOTS TO THE REAR OF THE CAB.  MOST COLLECTORS SEEK THESE '5 WINDOW' VERSIONS OUT AND THERE IS A DEFINITE DIFFERENCE IN THE APPRAISED VALUE BETWEEN THE TWO..  MANY BUILDERS WOULD LIKE TO ADD THEM TO THEIR 3 WINDOW VERSIONS HOWEVER DUE TO A  DIFFERENCE IN BOTH THE OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE SHEET METAL,  THIS IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE...   AND SPEAKING OF OPTIONS, OUR TRUCK IS A TRUE DELUXE CAB WITH THE STAINLESS STEEL TRIM AROUND BOTH THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SIDE DOOR GLASS OPENNING.

ORIGINAL 'KICK STARTER' IS THE ROUND PEDAL ON THE RIGHT ! ! !

THE DOG IS NOT FOR SALE

MATCHING NUMBERS

OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS POWERED BY IT'S ORIGINAL 216 CUBIC INCH, SIX CYLINDER ENGINE... IT'S SERIAL NUMBER PREFIX IS AHCA, IT IS STAMPED ON THE BLOCK BEHIND THE DISTRIBUTOR AND IT INDICATES THAT IT WAS BUILT AT THE FLINT, MICHIGAN ENGINE ASSEMBLY PLANT.. ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL CATALOG OF CHEVY TRUCK ID NUMBERS,  PUBLISHED BY CARS AND PARTS MAGAZINE, THIS ASSEMBLY IS ORIGINAL AND IS THE VERY SAME ENGINE THAT WAS INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY OVER 60 YEARS AGO ! !---PLEASE REFERENCE OUR PICTURES BELOW.. IT HAS A RATING OF 92 HORSEPOWER AT 3300 RPM..ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, THESE ENGINES DERIVED THE STOVE BOLT NICKNAME WHEN THEY WERE FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1929.. THEY WERE CONSIDERED AN ENGINEERING MARVEL AND IT SURPRISED MANY TO LEARN THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE EXTERIOR ENGINE BOLTS WERE 1/4 INCH BY 20 THREAD...THESE WERE THE VERY SAME BOLTS THAT WERE USED BY MANY WOOD STOVE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TIME, THUS; STOVE BOLT SIX.. AS CAN BE SEEN IN OUR VIDEO, OUR LITTLE TRUCK RUNS EXCELLENT, SHIFTS THROUGH ALL OF IT'S GEARS CORRECTLY AND IT'S STEERING IS TIGHT AND TRUE..PLEASE COMPARE THE PICTURES BELOW AND VERIFY THIS MATCHING NUMBERS TRUCK..

THE NUMBER THAT IS PICTURED BELOW WAS STAMPED INTO THE ORIGINAL ENGINE BLOCK OVER 60 YEARS AGO ! !

NEW GLASS

EVERY PIECE OF FLAT GLASS IS BRAND SPANKIN' NEW..

EVERY GASKET IS BRAND NEW

EVEN THE DOOR WINDOW CHANNELS--BRAND NEW ! !

OUR OLD WINDSHIELD WAS STARTING TO DELAMINATE AROUND THE EDGES AND A FEW CRACKS HAD DEVELOPED, THEREFORE, TWO BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD PANELS WERE PROCURED FROM CLASSIC PARTS AND HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY INSTALLED.  THIS ALSO NECESSITATED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FITTED RUBBER WINDSHIELD GASKET... OUR BODY SHOP CREW TOOK CARE OF THIS SEEMINGLY DIFFICULT TASK AND JACK, TOM AND JIMMY MADE THE JOB LOOK EASY..WE ALSO REPLACED THE REAR WINDOW AND GASKET.  THE SMALL CURVED WINDOWS ARE THE FACTORY ORIGINALS, THEY ARE  EXCELLENT ORIGINALS AND WE HAVE REPLACED THOSE GASKETS AS WELL.  BOTH DOOR GLASS UNITS WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE  REPRODUCTION CHANNELS.  ALL BRAND NEW ! 

PICTURED ABOVE; NEW RUBBER GASKET & LOCK BEAD AROUND CURVED REAR WINDOWS..

12 VOLT POWER SUPPLY

 WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR LITTLE TRUCK IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.. OUR ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS HAVE JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE CARBURETOR AND THEY ALSO INSTALLED A BRAND NEW GAS TANK AND GAS TANK SENDING UNIT.  NEXT WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW GAS GAGE FROM OUR FRIENDS AT CLASSIC PARTS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.  THE ORIGINAL IGNITION SWITCH AND FOOT OPERATED STARTER HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND ALL OF THE GAGES WORK CORRECTLY.. THE GAGES HAVE BEEN RESTORED WITH BRAND NEW  DECALS, GLASS AND NEW CHROME HOUSINGS.. NO WONDER THEY LOOK SO GOOD..  OUR TIRED OLD SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT IN ANY CONDITION TO RESTORE, SO WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW ONE, AGAIN, FROM CLASSIC PARTS.. IT LOOKS GREAT AND IS GUARANTEED TO WORK CORRECTLY FOR ONE FULL YEAR.. THE ORIGINAL HORN ALSO WORKS AND RETAINS USE OF THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL HORN BUTTON.. ALSO IN THE ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT, WE INSTALLED A BRAND NEW FACTORY BUILT WIRING HARNESS AND HAVE CONVERTED OUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO 12 VOLT.. THIS ADDITIONAL VOLTAGE MAKES FOR A LONGER BATTERY LIFE AND MUCH QUICKER STARTINGS. 

==NEW HORN BUTTON PICTURED BELOW==

NEW HORN BUTTON

 ==AND CHECK OUT THE HIDE-AWAY TURN SIGNALS==

AS MANY KNOW, THERE WERE NOT ANY FACTORY TURN SIGNALS ON THESE ORIGINAL TRUCKS.  FOR SAFETYS SAKE, WE FELT THAT  TURN SIGNALS WERE A MUST HOWEVER WE HATED TO RUIN THE ORIGINALITY WITH AN AFTER-MARKET & OUT OF PLACE COLUMN MOUNTED LEVER.  WE SELECTED THE HIDE/AWAY SIGNALS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED RIGHT HERE IN CLINTON, MISSOURI.  THEY  ARE TOTALLY HIDDEN OUT OF SIGHT AND FEATURE A SMALL SINGLE POLE/DOUBLE THROW SWITCH.  PUSH THE SMALL UNDER-DASH SWITCH TO THE LEFT, FLASHES LEFT--PUSH  TO THE RIGHT, FLASHES RIGHT AND TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FORGET YOUR FLASHING IN PUBLIC, WE ALSO HAVE A BUILT IN SAFETY REMINDER BEEPER...TO GO ALONG WITH THE TURN SIGNALS,  WE  HAVE ALSO INSTALLED TWO NEW CHROME PLATED TAIL-LIGHTS, TWO NEW PARK-LIGHTS, ALL WITH THE DOUBLE FILAMENT BULBS.. WORKS GREAT AND IS TOTALLY OUT OF SIGHT !

=================================

HOW IS OUR TRUCK 'BETTER' THAN NEW ?

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION ! !

      

IN 1950 CHEVROLET ENGINEERS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT ELECTRICAL PROTECTION IN THE ALL NEW 'ADVANCED DESIGN' TRUCKS... PARTIAL ELECTRICAL PROTECTION.. THE STANDARD GLASS FUSES WERE PLACED IN THE POWER LINE ONLY AFTER THE WIRING WAS ROUTED THROUGH THE IGNITION SWITCH, AMMETER & LIGHT SWITCH.  THUS THE PROTECTION WAS FOR ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.  THE WIRE THAT RAN FROM THE BATTERY CONNECTOR TO THESE FUSES WAS AT RISK AND COULD BE SUBJECT TO SHORT-OUTS AND FIRES AT ANY TIME.. THIS IS INDEED A SCARY THOUGHT EVEN WITH THE STANDARD 6 VOLT SYSTEM--- BUT WITH THE DOUBLE VOLTAGE, 12 VOLT POWER IN PLACE IT COULD BE DEVASTING! ! !  ALL OF OUR TRUCKS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED AT THE STARTER WITH A MODERN 40 AMP FUSE THAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE ABOVE.. IT IS MADE WITH A HEAVY 10 GAGE WIRE AND COMPLETELY PROTECTS THE AFOREMENTIONED ITEMS.. THIS IS HIDDEN FROM VIEW TO ALL BUT THE MOST SOPHISTICATED OBSERVERS AND IS VERY EASY TO GET TO IN CASE OF A PROBLEM.. WE THINK THE FIRE SIRENS SHOULD SOUND ONLY WHEN YOU'RE IN A PARADE.. EMERGENCY EXTRA FUSES WILL BE PROVIDED..

==========================================

      

BELOW; THESE SCREWS ARE NEW AND HOLD THE WINDOW CHANNEL GUIDE IN PLACE.

AND NOTICE THE NEW DOOR WEATHERSTRIP !

===ATTENTION TO DETAIL===

EVERY LOCK WORKS PER FACTORY SPECS !

AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOCKING UP THE VALUABLES.  OUR DOOR LOCKS PERFORM EXACTLY AS THEY DID WHEN THEY LEFT THE FACTORY.  BOTH LOCK FROM THE INSIDE AND THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN OUTSIDE LOCK CYLINDER.  IT IS KEYED, FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY, AND IS CODED SO THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE LOCK CYLINER SHARE THE SAME KEY.  THE GLOVE BOX LOCK IS ALSO BRAND NEW AND THE KEY LOCK IS ALSO FUNCTIONAL .   FURTHER, BOTH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BRAND NEW.. WE HAVE ALSO INSTALLED A BRAND NEW WATER PUMP SO OUR TRUCK RUNS COOL..THE WHEELS ARE THE 15 INCH FACTORY ORIGINALS WITH THE CORRECT HUBCAP CLIPS STILL IN PLACE.  WE HAVE SANDBLASTED EACH THOROUGHLY AND PAINTED AND PRIMED THEM CORRECTLY.  TO THIS, WE INSTALLED THE CORRECT REPRODUCTION HUBCAPS.. THESE WERE PURCHASED AT JIM CARTER'S TRUCK PARTS IN INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI.. ALSO NEW, ARE THE  REPRODUCTION, CHROME FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS AND THE NEW FRONT HOOD BADGE. 

 

EVERY GAGE WORKS CORRECTLY AND BOTH UNITS HAVE BEEN RECONDITIONED WITH NEW GLASS, DECALS AND CHROME.

DOES THIS MAKE IT  A WOODY ?  ?

NEW WOOD PLUS---89 NEW CARRIAGE BOLTS-(BUT WHO'S COUNTING?)

'OFF FRAME' BED RESTORATION

OUR BED WAS TAKEN  COMPLETELY OFF OF THE FRAME SO THAT WE COULD REPLACE THE WOOD CORRECTLY.. EVERY SINGLE PIECE ! ! IT IS CLEAR YELLOW PINE THAT HAS BEEN KILN DRIED AND SLOTTED/ GROOVED AS PER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SPECS.. THIS WAS PURCHASED AT CLASSIC-PARTS OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI AND IT FITS WONDERFULLY..AT THE SAME TIME, WE ALSO REPLACED THE METAL DIVIDER STRIPS ALONG WITH EVERY SINGLE CARRIAGE BOLT..ALL 89 OF THEM..THE DIVIDER STRIPS AND BOLTS ARE POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL.   THIS ALSO REQUIRED THE WE REPLACE THE WOODEN BED MOUNTING BLOCKS AS WELL.... IT LOOKS GREAT AND THE WOOD NOW HAS THE LOOK OF FINE FURNITURE....

 

WHAT A SHINE ! ! !

NEW CHROME GRILLE

============================

 ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT TIRES

THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW.. THEY ARE THE CORRECT 15 INCH TIRES AND, AS WE MENTIONED ABOVE, WE SANDBLASTED AND PAINTED THE WHEELS CORRECTLY..  WE ALSO PURCHASED A SET OF BRAND NEW TUBES AND A BRAND NEW SET OF "JIM CARTER" ORIGINAL HUBCAPS... YOU ARE NOW  READY TO ROLL !

 PLEASE CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER

 ===IN THE PICTURE BELOW, NOTICE THAT THE NUMBER ON THE TITLE MATCHES CORRECTLY THE NUMBER ON THE FACTORY ID PLATE===

        

ONE OF THE PRECAUTIONS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN BY THE OLD TRUCK BUYER IS IN REGARDS TO THE SERIAL NUMBER.. IN THE LATE 40s AND EARLY 1950s, MANY STATES FOUGHT TENACIOUSLY TO THWART THE PROLIFIC MOTOR VEHICLE THIEVES.. LEGISLATORS IN SOME STATES DETERMINED THAT THE TRUE SEIRAL NUMBER SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE ENGINE, RATHER THAN THE NUMBER THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE EASILY REMOVED DOOR PLATE.   THIS WORKED OUT FINE UNTIL THE OLD ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND THE SERIAL NUMBER BECAME DISCARDED.  IT WAS SENT OUT  IN THE SCRAP... NOW, YEARS LATER, THIS IS BECOMING AN INCREASINGLY SERIOUS PROBLEM, WITH TITLES TRANSFERRED THAT SHOW A SERIAL NUMBER THAT DOES NOT MATCH----ANYTHING....  PLEASE NOTICE THE TWO PICTURES  REGARDING OUR OFFERING.. WE HAVE ILLUSTRATED THAT OUR TITLE AND SERIAL NUMBER TAG MATCH PERFECTLY.. MANY CANNOT MAKE THIS CLAIM..

SO WHAT'S  IN A NUMBER ?

VIN#21HRB3078---ACCORDING TO THE CHEVROLET RESEARCH DEPARTMENT EACH OF THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS STAND FOR A CERTAIN MANUFACTURING CODE---THE 21=MANUFACTURED IN JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN--H=DESIGNATES THE 1950 PRODUCTION YEAR--R=3600 SERIES AND THE--B= MEANS THAT IT WAS PRODUCED IN FEBUARY OF 1950.  THE REMAINING NUMBERS, 3078, ARE SEQUENTIAL PRODUCTION NUMBERS, MEANING THIS IS THE 3078th UNIT PRODUCED AT THIS PRODUCTION FACILITY IN 1950.

RUST FREE OR IS THERE SUCH A THING

 

WHILE   WE  HAVE NEVER PROCLAIMED ANY OF OUR TRUCKS TO BE TOTALLY RUST FREE, WE CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS ONE IS VERY CLOSE... HISTORY INDICATES THAT THIS TRUCK SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIFE IN DRY CENTRAL KANSAS-----DRY -DRY- CENTRAL  KANSAS... WE HAVE INCLUDED SEVERAL PICTURES TO ILLUSTRATE JUST HOW SOLID OUR TRUCK TRULY IS... WHAT A SOLID OLD TRUCK.. MOST TRUCK ENTHUSIASTS WILL TELL YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR THE CAB CORNERS AND THE LOWER DOOR AREAS.. THESE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE "ACHILLES' HEEL OF THE '47 THROUGH '53 MODELS.. WE HAVE CAREFULLY INSPECTED OUR TRUCK AND HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE REMARKABLY SOLID..HOWEVER..WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RUST PERFORATION RATHER THAN THE COMMON UNDERCARRIGE SURFACE RUST...AND  I'M SURE THAT SOMEONE COULD FIND SOME SOMEWHERE, BUT IMAGINE, THE FLOOR IS TOTALLY ORIGINAL AND THE SMALL REPAIR MADE WAS DONE BY THE PROS AT OUR VERY OWN REPAIR FACILITY. 

LOWER CAB CORNERS ARE  SOLID !

======================================================================

100% COMPLETE

OUR '50 IS COMPLETE...100% COMPLETE... IF YOU FIND ANYTHING MISSING ON THIS TRUCK, WE WILL REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE AND PRE-PAY THE FREIGHT DIRECT TO YOUR DOOR (USA RESIDENTS ONLY).. IT WILL BE PROCURED FROM ONE OF THE UNITS IN OUR EXTENSIVE "OLD TRUCK" SALVAGE YARD.. WHEN WE LIST A TRUCK, WE THINK WE SHOULD REALLY SELL THE WHOLE TRUCK..

BUY THIS TRUCK AND WE'LL DONATE $100 TO 'CARE'

THE CLINTON ANIMAL RESCUE ENDEAVOR (CARE) TOOK OVER THE CLINTON ANIMAL SHELTER IN DECEMBER, 2007.. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS RUN BY THE CITY OF CLINTON AND FORCED EUTHANASIAS WERE COMMON.. THIS WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO OVERPOPULATION.. SINCE THAT DATE, THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE SHELTER INTO A CLEAN, HEALTHEY AND HAPPY ENVIRONMENT.  THE DRAB, GREY WALLS WERE REPAINTED WITH BRIGHT CLEAN COLORS AND THE LOCAL FOLKS HAVE RESPONDED IN A VERY POSITIVE MANNER.  SINCE 2007 WE HAVE ADOPTED OUT NEARLY 2200 HEALTHY, HAPPY, (SPAYED AND NEUTERED) PETS WITH 0 EUTHANASIAS (EXCEPT FOR HEALTH RELATED ISSUES)..
