1953 Chevy 1 ton (3800) Flatbed -
This is a rare find. History as told to me is as follows: I''m the fifth owner. First 30 years was spent on an orchard in Bend OR. The next three owners bought it to fix up and use in there business and never did anything. The fourth bought it for his son to use as a project to use at CCC''s auto body program. His son decided not to go so he worked on it in his spare time in his garage. The body is very straight with a recent paint job of black primer. The interior is basically untouched including the original seat (still in good shape). New wiring harness. New carburetor and starter.

As the fifth owner I put in a new head and valves, new large safer mirrors, plugs, distributor,rotor and cap, new spark plug wires, brakes. I also had replaced that thing behind the fan that is attached to the crankshaft, I do not remember its name.

The truck is 4-speed with a granny gear, it must have a real low rear end because
top speed is roughly 45-50 mph. All six tires look like they have at least 80% tread left.
I love the five window style of the truck but due to illness I cannot work on it anymore,
there is very little left to do.
