HAS IT ALL...
Up front : This is an older restoration on a fairly straight old truck. The frame, chassis, and driveline is from a 1986 Chevy 3/4 ton 4X4 truck. As you can see from the pictures, the wheel spacing is perfect and it has the appearance of a factory NAPCO 4X4 truck.

Outside condition: The paint job still has a nice shine to it. There are spots where touch ups have been done, but all in all, it still shows well. I have the original paint can the paint came in and there is still good paint in it. The only rust issues this truck had was under the door sills, ( see pics. ), the bottom of both front fenders by the doors, and both cab rear corners. The floor boards are very solid. I hate to say this, but the previous owner riveted the vintage signs to the doors. Very small rivets, but it will still leave small holes if the signs are removed. The bed has all new wood. The glass is all in tack and decent except for the windshield. It has a small rock chip, wiper marks, and fogging around the edges. Door glass rolls up and down very well. Wipers work. The hood latch must be missing a part? It does not do the final latch, just the secondary latch works? There is no problem with it flying open, but I wanted to mention it. Lights all work. Aluminum tool box in the bed.
Inside condition: The interior is very basic. The seat coverings are good. The carpet and dash are just OK. Radio delete plate. Steering wheel missing small chunk out of the grip. There is an under the dash heater that works, but it is not factory. Nothing of high quality here.
Driveline condition: Truck runs out just fine. Plenty of power. Engine and trans were evidently both rebuilt at some point. I took a valve cover off to verify and found the top of the head was super clean the valve springs looked new. Trans shifts like a new one also. Transfer case works as well as the manual front hub lockouts. Tires have lots of tread left. Brakes work just fine. There are 2 exhaust leaks. One manifold to pipe gasket, ( donut seal ) and a small hole in one muffler. . Newer aluminum radiator. Engine runs very cool. Power steering and brakes.

I will be getting the exhaust, windshield and hood latch replaced in the next couple weeks. The price will go up accordingly. I own 2 of these 1955 4x4''s they would make excellent shop trucks.
THANKS FOR LOOKING
