1953 Chevrolet 3800 series Pickup Description

Up for auction is a one owner, low miles, nicely patina'd farm truck. It is a 3800 series with a 9-foot box.

It is largely original with only 37,000 miles. This truck proudly sports its scratches and bruises from the career as a farm truck in Hillsdale, Michigan. It rarely saw the road and was parked in the barn during the winter to help keep it solid.

Aside from the dings and bumps the body is pretty solid.

The straight 6-cylinder engine runs perfectly. It does not smoke. The previous owner always used a lead additive. The transmission is a 4-speed manual on the floor which includes a granny gear. It shifts great. Wheels are 17 inch split rims.

The breaks are in perfect order and the truck has had a few of the brake lines replaced.

Interior is pretty good but showing a little wear at the top of the seat. The headliner is there but could be replaced or removed.
