 $1. 00 START PRICE and NO RESERVE 
1954 Chevrolet/GMC truck rat rod. Titled as a GMC and IS one. Which is a top level Chevy. This has the nicer one piece windshield as the earlier trucks has a two piece. Hundreds already spent on this build as well as a lot of time. Put your spin on it and you will have one hell of a ride.  It had been indoors for over 14 years previous. It was purchased last fall and that when the work and updates were done and are fresh. Nothing was done to the body or exterior to change it's appearance.  
A lot of thought and money was put into this project so far . The motor is a newly rebuilt 355 4 bolt main /Edelbrock/TRW/Holley parts and the transmission is a 700R4 4 speed automatic. The motor and trans are newly rebuilt and have had run time prior being installed in the truck. So no guess work on a new start up. Once the wiring is done (is included) it will be able to fire up. Again rebuilt and does not constitute crate engine/over the counter or mail order engine.  
New alternator. Hi torque racing starter. belts hoses etc. A new aluminum radiator and trans cooler. Upgraded master cylinder and power booster mounted. The rear end is a Camaro 10 bolt and was already in the truck. Truck has been updated to 5 on 5 bolt pattern for unlimited wheel changes. No six lug wheel adapters needed. All new wiring kit has been mounted and needs completed to start and run the vehicle. Fuel tank has been cleaned and has new fuel sending unit. New drive shaft. Master cyl mounted and brake pedal mounted. Accelerator pedal and linkage mounted. I do not have a shifter and had planned on picking up an OEM GM unit out of a Gen III Camaro and welding on an extension so it would be as high as the dash.  If don't like the junkyard crawl  an American Shifter brand is a good choice and they are less expensive then a Lokar.  
The frame rails of the truck are GM and have not been cut or modified to accept the V8. The correct parts were sourced for the build and as you can see looks like the factory did it.  Most Chevy Truck Rat builds you find are very questionable due to the front half of the frame rails hacked off and a Nova or Camaro sub frame welded on. NOT HERE. The steering box was moved and the right exhaust manifolds were found and installed. Most avoid this direction and notch the frame again not safe. I have included pics of both frame rails and again looks original.  
What I forgot to do is take pics of the inside of the bed. The wood was removed. The plan was to cut up some old signs or something to that effect. The metal strips for the wood floor and cross bracing is there. Bed sides and tail gate is consistent with the rest of the truck. Doors open and shut good and are not out of alignment. Passenger side glass is cracked and removed so it won't cause an issue when transporting. I have the door window opening shrink wrapped to keep out the elements for when it is picked up. Solid where it needs to be and the maximum amount of real (not acid etched made to look old) rust to look cool.  
To sum it up. This is a project that still needs finished. It is non running and non driving and ready for you to take it to the next level. If you have to ask what it will take to finish I will not and can not answer. Everyone's expectations are different. That means what I think and what you think is different. For instance. Lights? OEM or LED? Drum or disc brakes? Shifter column or floor. Gauges original or retro?  Windows tinted new or old weathered. At this point it is what you like and how you want to build.  If you do not know what or how a custom built vehicle is  please find someone that does before you bid. With the right skills could be completed in a weekend or two.  
Can be viewed by appointment only. It is located in Ohio 45685.  Wheels and tires pictured are not part of the sale and will come with rollers.  If you need a shipper I can provide or work with yours. Truck rolls and steers easy to load. Selling as is and as seen minus wheels and tires pictured. Clear title in hand ready to roll. Please do your due diligence. I will not be held responsible for any incorrectness or errors or of something I might of unknowingly missed or stated incorrectly by mistake. Please be responsible and know what it is you are buying. Please have your finances straightened out prior to biding also have permission if needed.  
Questions?  Please use the ebay tab "ask seller a question" Email is the best method of contact for me. Keep in mind the truck isn't in my living room. Email first. I know I am old too and don't like to type either. If you still need to talk I will call you. Please no questions about price. I do not have any price in mind. If I did I would put a sign in it. This is an auction. If you want it bid. If you want it now make a crazy I cannot refuse offer.  
Terms of sale I expect a $500. non refundable deposit sent to me and must be received within three days. No Paypal. No personal check.   This is important. If you plan on picking up the truck and paying in person that is fine.  Deposit must STILL be sent and received prior to making any trip. It doesn't matter if you are 5 miles or 500.    Most just send payment and balance at the same time and that is fine too. Payment in full must be received within 7 days.  Bank or cashier check or bank wire OK Cash in person.  
If you cannot wait until the sale ends I might consider something close to $6500. to end it early which at  that I am not even close to breaking even otherwise bid to own. Thanks and good luck.
