We just purchased this 1949 Chevy 3800 pick up truck from a father and son team who were in the process of setting this truck up as a daily driver to haul the father's harley davidson bike to car shows and motorcycle rallies. The father became ill and sold his motorcycle and the project came to a halt. He then asked us if we would buy it. They showed me pics of the truck before it had paint to ensure me that the truck was basically rust free and there was very little filler used before painting. They painted the truck (amateur paint job) this is a ten footer that it looks great from 10 feet away but you get up close and you can see the flaws in the prep work before the paint was laid. The paint has a good shine to it in my opinion and it looks the part, but not $30k show truck job. It has a fulton visor that really ads to the look of the truck. The truck still has (from what we can tell) the original 6 cyl engine (numbers matching to the title) They did a tune up to it, rebuilt the carb, points plugs etc. It runs very good and I did not notice any knocks misses or smoke. They put on a new master brake cylinder and only hooked up one front brake with a new wheel cylinder and line which does stop the truck but it should have the remaining three finished. The seat has a seat cover over the original upholstry and is servicable. The box has a sheet of plywood in it. The four tires are old tires that have to be replaced. The clutch is good and it shifts all of the gears like it should. The truck went down the road and handled like a 49 chevy truck should (other than the tires). The windshield glass was fogged due to age but all of the glass is there as pictured/videoed. The truck was converted to a 12 volt system and the original wire harness was bypassed as the father and son never got the chance to install a new wire harness (new harness roughly 200 through jim carter trucks trucks) so gauges are not working. The headlights do work as they are wired directly to a toggle switch. The gas tank has been bypassed and the truck is running of a aux tank as they never got the chance to clean out the original. (original should be cleaned out before using) This is a great entry level pick up that you can use while you work on bringing it to the level you want. As everyone has their own opinion on what a vintage driver truck should be, I always encourage and recommend you hire ebay to do a independant inspection for you or coming yourself to inspect the truck by appointment. I require a 500 dollar non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction end. If I do not get the deposit within the tie frame or before you come for the truck I will assume you are a dreamer or a scammer and not serious about buying it. the license plate, wagon topper, and dash magnets do not go with the truck as they are part of my personal collection.I can help recommend shippers I have used in the past who have been very reasonable. If you have any questions call me 563 568 5111 and I will do my best to answer them. Thanks and have fun bidding on this 1949 Chevy 3800 pick up truck!
