If you have questions, ask before bidding please. If you want to inspect the truck, do so before bidding. I can help with accommodations and travel, wichita is an easy place to get to and get around in. I answer all questions fully for every bidder to see and review. Truck is sold as-is, where-is. I can help with shipping, I have a trailer for more local delivery (at your cost) and I have a shipper who works mostly the east coast to the midwest (also at your cost). The truck runs and drives well but I may no offer of warranty or guarantee. Once you buy the truck, it is your truck. Deposit required, non-refundable, within 48 hrs of winning bid. full payment cash or cashiers check within 7 days. Again, inspections are done before bidding. ask for any pictures of anything you like.
Hobbyist built, built so that anyone can jump in and drive on a moments notice. maybe you have a more traditional rat rod and want to leave your kidney belt at home, or want to drive it every day without tinkering with a carb or getting to work smelling like gas/exhaust. This truck drives straight and well, my wife drives it, my daughter too, even my mother-in-law. this truck has power steering, fuel injection, an overdrive automatic, quiet exhaust. it just cruises on the highway, 65mph is maybe 1700rpm.
this is not a show truck, I have not spent hundreds of hours carefully perfecting the body condition and laying down flawless paint. I did not grind and fill every weld with filler. this was more a preservation, fixing the structural issues and leaving the rest. there will still be rust, in places where it is not seen or structural. you would spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to perfect this body but for what it is NOW, 76 years old and tastefully preserved, it has quite a good look. I did replace everything related to safety and everything that was even slightly questionable. This is not banged together for a quick sale, I do not cut corners. I put my family in these trucks. I keep a relationship with every buyer. Buying this truck gets you invited to my 4th of july party every year I have one.
The currently unresolved issues with the truck are: cruise installed/wired/plumbed but the stalk wiring does not exactly match the truck wiring so I have not hooked it up. The AC is not fully installed, AC needs a condenser installed behind the grille and lines run. AC compressor is installed, AC evaporator is installed, everything is wired, just needs the condenser and lines installed and the system charged. The windshield regulator needs help opening and shutting. If someone uses the Buy-it-now I will go pick up a re-manufactured one from the local chevy shop. The oil pressure gauge does not move. this doesnt mean the engine doesnt have oil pressure, the TBI computer would not let the engine start with no oil pressure or a faulty pressure sender. it did work before I pulled it apart to install in the original 41 cluster. I have a new cluster coming, it will be here saturday and I will install it. The turn signal cancelling cam does not work when turning left, luckily you can see that turn signal from the drivers seat so you can click it off. The truck leaks like a colander in the rain. its a 1941, what do you expect? I will include a tarp that I strap to the cab windows when it sits outside, otherwise I recommend a garage. running boards extended 2" to match the longbed S10 frame.
