chevy pickup chevrolet classic truck deluxe 3600 thriftmaster hot rod engine

I have had this for a couple of years and have spent a load of time and money on it and am very reluctantly putting up for sale . As some will know I own a VW Restoration company and I have been given the opportunity to purchase a vehicle I have always wanted and as there are less than 10 in the world left . am unlikely to get the chance again . So some thing has to go .
So this is my 1948 Chevy pickup .  as you can see it has just about every option available at the time of order . Chrome bumper . grill . window surrounds . Chrome pillar mounted spotlight ( original GM ) . hrome dash sections .  Original chrome door handles ( with original key ) inner door handles and window winders are chrome too - original GM chrome filler cap ( tank under bed as its a 48 ). Chrome badges and bonnet trim ( you get the idea )
The chassis is rock solid and it is in really good condition and the truck has an amazing patina . a few dents and holes here and there . but it has never been welded in the past so is very honest .
The truck has been completely re wired with a rebel wire kit . All lights work etc - 12 vChrome horn is a original lucas item and suits it . Tyres are good load weighted .  Gauges have been rebuilt . Starts and runs well All the brakes have been rebuilt - new shoes front and rear - new brake lines and brake hoses - rebuilt cylinders and master cylinder - Good front axel fitted with good link pins etc . New aluminium Radiator has been fitted and is guaranteed to cool 1000 horsepower .
Truck has original 216 engine and its original box - 4 speed manual - floor mounted shift . The carb has been rebuilt and rubbers have been replaced . tank has been cleaned . treated and sealed . I have a number of spares including a clutch and clutch plate New handbrake cables fitted Seats frames are in very good condition and will just require a recover as the original material is ripped . The only bit of the original vehicle I dont have is the tailgate . Vehicle is registered in uk and is pretty much ready to go - I currently have it at home as the workshop is so busy . The only thing it needs to drive is the brake system filling and bleeding so will require a trailer to get home .  
I have V5 in my name .
The brown on the dash is dust not rust !!!!
 I do not want to do any trades unless you have Hitlers beetle in the garage so please dont ask because I dont want to offend 
This is a fantastic truck that has an amazing presence and looks fantastic - Its not the rusty shell you get imported normally and you then have to find all the desirable bits . This has them all already .
Please Note that the FULTON visor in the pictures is not included and will be available in other listings over the Easter weekend 
I will be listing many other Chevy and hot rod bits over the weekend so please check my other items 
If you want any more info please PM here or [email]jon@65deluxe. com[/email]
Any inspection is welcome but please no tire kickers . if you just want to look at a cool old truck then go to a car show in the summer .
