This is a truck that was parked and stored inside from 1958 to present. I have owned it for five years.  It came from the NE corner of the state, and other than the patina and dings you see, it has no rust or cancer. It has only 41,000 original miles, has all original paint, and still bears the factory cab pin stripe and white paint in the grill. It has not been buffed or touched up, and would be a great truck to restore or drive as-is.  I stopped it at just cleaning it up, so a person can see exactly what it is.

It has a rebuilt 1955-57 235 engine with less than 100 miles on it, and a 4 speed transmission. It has a new radiator, rebuilt starter and generator, clutch, and all new brakes with silicone fluid. It was converted to 12 volts, but none of the wiring was cut, to maintain the condition of the original wiring. 

Everything is well preserved, the wiring, gauges, interior, including the original wood in the bed. The seat, door panels, and headliner  are in great condition, and it has a seat cover that was installed when the truck was new. It does have dings and patina that you can see, feel free to ask if you need more or additional information.

The truck bears an original plate with permanent antique registration. 

Also there is the original owner's manual, and the original key. In addition to a clear Oregon title in my name, I also have the early title stamped "Souvenir" by Oregon Motor Vehicles.

The truck is advertised locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

This truck is sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I will ship the truck, and am willing to store it after the auction ends, but that needs to be agreed upon and worked out between us prior to the end of the sale.

Feel free to contact me with questions by email, or call 503-551-8189.

    In response to several questions, I have chassis photos to add, and a few things I forgot to mention. 

    The frame is in great shape, no rot. All the lights work, including the brake/ tail light. The heater works on high and low, and the defroster works as well. The wipers work also. The gas gauge had the resistor installed, worked fine, but I have noticed the needle stick a few times, so I believe it is the sending unit. They are about $50 for a new one.

    I also rebuilt the Ranco water control valve for the heater. 

    If you look at the one picture from the driver's door, you can see the oil change sticker from Enterprise Shell, with the date and mileage from 1956. Not a big deal, but kinda cool.

    Thanks for the interest.

    Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?

    Wed, Mar 9 2016

    You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names
