This is the last of it's kind. Produced only three months into 1955. Different in that it has a one piece windshield and an open drive line instead of a torque tube like older models. This was a Texas truck kept in dry storage for 40 years. Body is very straight, clean and rust free. Paint is old and not original. Floor is near perfect with only a dime-sized hole in the trans cover plate which is replaceable.
Original matching numbers engine goes with truck if you want it. It needs to be rebuilt, but has a rebuilt head attached. It has been nicely replaced with a 1961 235 and 12-volt alternator. Original 3-speed column shift trans shifts nice. Have replaced or rebuilt brakes including wheel and master cylinder, carburetor, clutch, pressure plate, fuel pump, door glass, headlight switch and all locks and handles with matching key sets. This truck is all original except for newer engine and 15 inch wheels with decent tires.
For the record, this truck does need a few things. Grill and front bumper has been dented. Leaving that choice to the new owner, they can be replace through many suppliers. Windshield, back glass and wing windows will need replacing. Corner curved glass is good. Needs hood latch and bed flooring.
I have described condition the best I can. If you have further questions, please call Dave at 402-650-3813. Winning bidder is required to deposit $500 which is non-refundable into my Pay-Pal account within 2-days from auction end. Balance due before releasing truck and clear title.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
