MORE PICS AT THE END OF THE DESCRIPTIONFEEL FREE TO MAKE AN OFFER AT ANYTIME. 1949 CHEVY 1/2 TON PANEL DELUXE . This panel is very complete and mostly original. It has the original 17" split rims with spare also. It will be a great one to restore and the extended panels are somewhat rare and more versatile than the shorter versions. This is a 1-ton and it is super rare to see one at a car show. These look nice restored and are really not around much anymore. I go to many car shows and don't know that I've ever seen one. Included is a clear title. The body is very solid and has little rust overall. The body is better than it looks. The old brush paint job that has faded. doesn't do it any favors. I also included a couple pics of restored panels. You can do a lot with these panels and have mobile businesses out of them or have sleeping quarters in the rear and use them for tow rigs for your show or drag car. They also make nice parts running rigs for businesses and you have a large space to put your business name on the side. This would also make a cool napco clone. MECHANICAL This has what I believe is the original six cylinder and appears complete except for the air cleaner. which I may have. I'm not sure if I have the air cleaner but will be checking. The engine runs. and sounds good. The panel is not driveable though. The fuel system will need cleaned and complete tune-up and fluid changes. I ran it on a gravity feed tank just long enough to test all the gears. This is a 4-speed manual with granny low. Clutch works fine. No brakes. It most likely needs the master cylinder but they may need other work. Rolls and steers. Tires hold air. Hubcaps in pics are the original style but not included. I borrowed them of a different rig of mine for the pics. I believe they are readily available online. From what I see. the drivetrain is usable but will need to be checked out and tuneup work done due to it sitting for years. BODY The panel does need restored. but the body is very solid for a project and has little rust. The front floorpans have the usual rust that these years all seem to have. It minor though compared to most pickups of this vintage. It's only in the foot area. not under the seats. New pans are available at lots of restoration places. Hood and front fenders are nice. Doors are nice also but have rust on the inner metal. on the bottom but verticle metal. This is flat metal and should be an easy fix. Rear quarters/side panels are nearly rust free but each side has a spot between the front fender and the door. This is the low rocker type area and is a common bad spot on these. This panel is better than others I've seen though. Patch panels would be easy to make. but may be available. Minor rust spot behind drivers rear fender. There is a dent above the rear doors that needs to be fixed. Its not major. but doors won't close right because of it. Jams are nice besides that area. Wheelhouses are nice. Frame is rust free. Firewall. dash. and header are fine. Tons of restoration parts are sold for these including new chrome grilles. bumpers. etc. etc. making restoration cheaper and easier. Some parts off pickups work also. Windshields are cracked. as are side windows. This is flat glass and easy to replace. Rear windows are gone INTERIOR Not much to mention here besides that the interior does have the original front seats which is nice. Dash area appears original and steering wheel. OVERALL These panels look great fixed up and can be used to haul a variety of things or used for advertising. I've also seen many made into rods that have sleeping quarters in the back and they make great tow rigs for hotrods or racecars. They are cool to use for mobile businesses and sell t-shirts or whatever out of the back at cars shows. Park out if front of your rod shop with your name on the side. There is a lot of room for a big ad! Thanks and happy bidding. THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS. IT IS USED. OLD. AND NEEDS RESTORATION.
