FIRST TIME OFFERED
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS LITTLE '52 CHEVY HAS EVER BEEN OFFERED TO YOU LOYAL EBAYERS AND, Y NOW, MOST OF YOU KNOW OF OUR NEAR PERFECT RECORD.. WE HAVE LISTED AND SOLD OVER50 OF OUR ANTIQUE AND CLASSIC CARS ON EBAY AND HAVE SOLD NEARLY EVERY ONE ON THE VERY FIRST LISTING.. OUR SUCCESS IS DUE TO OUR LOW REALISTIC RESERVES, S OPPOSED TO THOSE BARRETT-JACKSON WATCHERS OUT THERE, HO FEEL THAT SELLING THEIR COLLECTOR CARS IS EQUIVALENT TO WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT.. ONE SHOULD ALSO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NOT OUR LIVELIHOOD, UT RATHE, LIFE LONG PASSION.. WE TRULY LOVE OLD CARS AND TRUCKS..
MOST COLLECTORS AGREE
THAT THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF THE EARLY CHEVROLET TRUCKS IS THE 'ADVANCED DESIGN' SERIES PRODUCED FROM 1947 THROUGH 1953..MANY PREFER THE '52 SHORTBED, /2 TON, AS THESE WERE THE LIGHT DUTY CHEVYS WITH THE VENT WING WINDOWS, HE TUBULAR SHOCK ABSORBERS AND THEADVANCED PUSH BUTTONDOOR HANDLES. OURS ALSO HAS THE LIGHTEST GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF ANY OF THE 1952 CHEVY TRUCKS.. THIS WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LIGHT DUTY HAULER AND AS SUCH, IVED A RATHER PAMPERED LIFE..IN OUR CASE, T WAS PROBABLY TRANSPORTING GOOSE FEATHERS TO A PILLOW FACTORY. THE WEIGHT RATING IS ONLY 4800 POUNDS AND IT HAS A CURB WEIGHT OF ONLY 3100 POUNDS.. NOW, F WE WERE FORCED TO DO THE MATH, HAT SOUNDS LIKE A PAYLOAD OF ONLY 1700 POUNDS MINUS THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGERS.. NOT EXACTLY HEAVY DUTY HAULING, S IT ? ? ACCORDING TO THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER THAT IS FOUND IN THE FRONT LEFT DOOR JAM, UR TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THEKANSAS CITY ASSEMBLY PLANT IN JUNE OF 1952. MORE INFORMATION PRINTED BELOW.

BETTER THAN NEW ?
HOW IS OUR TRUCK BETTER THAN NEW ? ELECTRICAL PROTECTION ! WHEN THESE 'ADVANCED DESIGNED' TRUCKS WERE ORIGINALLY ENGINEERED THEY WERE BUILT ONLY WITH PARTIAL ELECTRICAL PROTECTION. THE WIRES THAT WENT TO THE HEADLAMPS, ARKING LAMPS AND TAIL-LAMPS WERE ALL ROUTED THROUGH PROTECTIVE FUSE BOXES. HOWEVER ALL OF THE OTHER WIRES WERE CONSIDERED TO BE "AT RISK". THE MAIN LINE FROM THE STARTER TO THE GAGES, HE GAGES THEMSELVES, HE DOME LIGHT, HE FUEL GAGE WERE ALL AT RISK. A SCARY THOUGHT EVEN WITH THE STANDARD 6 VOLT ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE. WE PROTECTED OUR TRUCK WITH A NEW MODERN, N LINE, 0 AMP FUSE THAT IS PICTURED BELOW. IT IS INSTALLED AT THE MAIN STARTER TERMINAL AND PROTECTS ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ITEMS. WE THINK THE FIRE SIRENS SHOULD SOUND ONLY WHEN YOU'RE IN A PARADE.
