1953 Chevy 3100 5 window pickup Excellent Condition

Here it is. the one everyone looking for a vintage Chevy pickup looks for. Up for sale is a 1953 Chevy 5-window 3100 pickup. This truck has not been run for the last several years as the owner is no longer able to drive. It's been started on occasion and driven around the block. but other than that. it's been sitting inside a garage for the last several years. Entire drive-train was upgraded in the early '90's to a Chevy 350 that was balanced and blueprinted running a 280 deg cam with 8. 5:1 comp pistons and Holley 650 Carb. Transmission is a 3 speed Saginaw automatic with a ford 9 inch rear. This is a STRONG running pickup. Other than that. the body is in immaculate shape with the only flaw being the one scratch on the left front fender. I've included a closeup of it. but other than that it is very clean with no rust. Interior could use a complete redo (If it were mine). but it's usable if you're not looking for perfection. All in all. this is an excellent candidate for a slammed hot rod pickup or to complete restoration. Body is straight and rust free. engine is a monster that hasn't really been mistreated or run hard. and the truck in general has been babied by a gentleman that just took care of it and was adding stuff to it a little at a time. Unfortunately. his health deteriorated and the truck has been left to sit for the last few years and they decided it was time to part with it and asked that I help sell it for them. I have described the pickup to the best of my knowledge and will try to answer any questions anyone may have as best I can. but I am not the owner and have only started and driven it on occasion. Shipping is the responsibility of the Purchaser and truck will not be released until funds have all cleared and are verified by their bank. A non-refundable $500 Deposit will be required via Paypal immediately after auction ends. Remainder can be arranged however purchaser wants to handle it. Thank you for viewing. On an additional Note. They have all the baby moon covers for the wheels as well as an extra door. those will be included with the purchase. Thank you again. I was asked about the suspension. It has independent front suspension from Conte Industries with disk brakes. Adding a couple of picture to auction.
