Chevrolet Other Pickups 1952 Description

Due to some unfortunate circumstances I need to sell “Kirby” my 1952 Chevy 3600 rat rod. This truck has original paint and 64+ years of patina. A few trouble areas were addressed as indicated by new patch panels. This truck was built with almost all new parts and has 200 + trouble free miles on the build. Over 25K was spent on mostly new parts.

Unlike most other trucks on the market, his truck has a boxed OEM frame. This is not a “cut and weld” job using the front clip and rear end from two different vehicles.

Condition

Exterior Body: What can I say. It obviously has lots of imperfections, ents, cratches, nd dings. Doors and hood could use some alignment. Great green patina. Some new glass (side windows, ront window, ear window) rubber and felt. Driver and passenger windows are a little tight from new felt. New cab corners, owl panels, oor skins/bottoms, nd running board mounts. All left raw. Box sides have some rust and a few small holes.

Interior: Bedliner on the new floorboards. Custom trans tunnel. New toe boards and kick panels. New fuel tank in stock location. I would run a fuel cell if I was to do it again. This would create more space between you and the wheel. Working gas gauge with all new 5” white face Dolphin gauges. New seat covers and foam.No heat or AC. The stock wipers are their but not hooked up. No radio. No headliner. Headlights, urns, rake lights, nd tail lights all work.

Overall: I'm the second owner of this truck. It started life as a MN farm truck. When the original owner passed away, purchased it with the intent of keeping it forever. hence the reason I put all new parts on it. I love this truck and it's been a dream of mine to build one. Unfortunately, member of my family is very sick and could use some help with medial bills. Thus, need to do the right thing by selling this truck and helping my family. This truck is mechanically sound. It’s incredibly light, ast, nd comfortable to drive. It will definitely keep up with most high performance street cars. It starts, uns, rives, nd stops well. All in all, t’s a really fun truck to own. It gets tons of attention. When parked in the driveway next to my 911, veryone comments on this truck, ot the 911.

The above prices DO NOT INCLUDE LABOR. You could either drive it as is, r swap out the cab and bed for a non rat rod look. Please look closely at all the pictures. All sales are final. No warranties expressed, ritten or implied. $500 deposit due within 24 hours. Please only bid if you have the funds as this money is being used to help a sick family member.
