THE NEW CAR DEALER THAT SELLS MORE 1947 THROUGH 1953 ORIGINAL TRUCKS

THAN ANYBODY

DWIGHT ALEXANDER STARTED WORKING ON THESE TRUCKSAT ALLEN CHEVROLET IN

1951

HE STILL WORKS ON THEM TODAY! !

MOST COLLECTORS AGREE

THAT THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF THE EARLY CHEVROLET TRUCKS IS THE 'ADVANCED DESIGN' SERIES PRODUCED FROM 1947 THROUGH 1953..MANY PREFER THE '53 SHORTBED 1/2 TON AS THESE WERE THE ONLY LIGHT DUTY CHEVYS WITH THE VENT WING WINDOWS THE PUSHBUTTON DOOR HANDLES THE TUBULAR SHOCK ABSORBERS AND THE OPTIONAL FACTORY SIDE MOUNT SPARE TIRE CARRIER. OURS ALSO HAS THE LIGHTEST GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF ANY OF THE 1953 CHEVY TRUCKS.. THIS WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LIGHT DUTY HAULER AND AS SUCH LIVED A RATHER PAMPERED LIFE..IN OUR CASE IT WAS PROBABLY TRANSPORTING GOOSE FEATHERS TO A PILLOW FACTORY. THE WEIGHT RATING ON OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS ONLY 4800 POUNDS AND IT HAS A CURB WEIGHT OF 3100 POUNDS.. NOW IF WE WERE FORCED TO DO THE MATH THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PAYLOAD OF ONLY 1700 POUNDS MINUS THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGERS.. NOT EXACTLY HEAVY DUTY HAULING IS IT ? ?

STOVE BOLT 6 CYLINDER

OUR LITTLE TRUCK IS POWERED BYAN UPGRADED "STOVE BOLT"SIX CYLINDER ENGINE...IT IS A 235 CUBIC INCH 6 CYLINDER ENGINE AND HAS ALL OF THE LOOKS OFTHE ORIGINAL POWERPLANT. FULL OIL PRESSURE AND 35 INCREASED HORSEPOWER MAKE THIS ENGINE VERY APPEALING TO ANYONE WISHING TO MAKE IT THEIR DAILY DRIVER.ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA THESE ENGINES DERIVED THE STOVE BOLT NICKNAME WHEN THEY WERE FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1929.. THEY WERE CONSIDERED AN ENGINEERING MARVEL AND IT SURPRISED MANY TO LEARN THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE EXTERIOR ENGINE BOLTS WERE 1/4 INCH BY 20 THREAD...THESE WERE THE VERY SAME BOLTS THAT WERE USED BY MANY WOOD STOVE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TIME THUS; STOVE BOLT SIX.. AS CAN BE SEEN IN OUR VIDEO OUR LITTLE TRUCK RUNS EXCELLENT SHIFTS THROUGH ALL OF IT'S GEARS CORRECTLY AND IT'S STEERING IS TIGHT AND TRUE..

NEW HORN BUTTON AND STEERING WHEEL

MOST OF THE RESTORED TRUCKS THAT ARE BEING OFFEREDFOR SALETODAY HAVE ONE PARTICULAR THING IN COMMON-- A CRACKED STEERING WHEEL.. MANY TIMES THE RESTORING TECHS WILL TRY TO PATCH OR FIX THESE DEFECTS RESULTING IN A 'SHORT TERM' CORRECTION AND A LONG TERM CRACK.. CLASSIC PARTS OF KANSAS CITY MISSOURI OFFERS A BRAND NEW REPRODUCTION STEERING WHEEL AND HORN BUTTON.. MANY MAY FIND THE PRICE A LITTLE HIGH BUT PLEASE LOOK OVER THE PICTURES BELOW.. I'LL THINK MOST WILL SEE THE WISDOM OF OUR INVESTMENT..

BETTER THAN NEW?

HOW IS OUR TRUCK BETTER THAN NEW ? ELECTRICAL PROTECTION ! WHEN THESE 'ADVANCED DESIGNED' TRUCKS WERE ORIGINALLY ENGINEERED THEY WERE BUILT WITH ONLY 'PARTIAL' ELECTRICAL PROTECTION. THE WIRES THAT WENT TO THE HEADLAMPS PARKING LAMPS AND TAIL-LAMPS WERE ALL ROUTED THROUGH PROTECTIVE FUSE BOXES. HOWEVER ALL OF THE OTHER WIRES WERE CONSIDERED TO BE "AT RISK". EVEN THE MAIN 10 GAUGE WIRE THAT RUNS FROM THE STARTER TO THE AMP GAGE WAS UNPROTECTED AND WITHOUT FUSE. ALSO AT RISK WAS THE FUEL GAGE THE DOME LIGHT THE IGNITION SWITCH AND ANY ACCESSORY ITEMS. A SCARY THOUGHT EVEN WITH THE STANDARD 6 VOLT ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE. EVEN MORE SO WITH OUR IMPROVED 12 VOLT SYSTEM. OUR TRUCK HAS A MODERN 40 AMP FUSE LOCATED AT THE STARTER TERMINAL. IT IS TUCKED LOW IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND WILL BE NOT BE NOTICED BY ANY BUT THE MOST DISCRIMINATING TRUCK ENTHUSIAST. TOTAL ELECTRICAL PROTECTION. WE LOVE THE SOUND OF A FIRE SIREN BUT ONLY IN A PARADE..

SO SIMPLE BUT SO VERY VERY IMPORTANT

PLEASE CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER

ONE OF THE PRECAUTIONS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN BY THE OLD TRUCK BUYER IS IN REGARDS TO THE SERIAL NUMBER.. IN THE LATE 40s AND EARLY 1950s MANY STATES FOUGHT TENACIOUSLY TO THWART THE PROLIFIC MOTOR VEHICLE THIEVES.. LEGISLATORS IN SOME STATES DETERMINED THAT THE TRUE SEIRAL NUMBER SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE ENGINE RATHER THAN THE NUMBER THAT WAS STAMPED ON THE EASILY REMOVED DOOR PLATE. THIS WORKED OUT FINE UNTIL THE OLD ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND THE SERIAL NUMBER BECAME DISCARDED. IT WAS SENT OUT IN THE SCRAP... NOW YEARS LATER THIS IS BECOMING AN INCREASINGLY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH TITLES TRANSFERRED THAT SHOW A SERIAL NUMBER THAT DOES NOT MATCH----ANYTHING....ANYWHERE PLEASE NOTICE THE TWO PICTURES REGARDING OUR OFFERING.. WE HAVE ILLUSTRATED THAT OUR TITLE AND SERIAL NUMBER TAG MATCH PERFECTLY.. MANY CANNOT MAKE THIS CLAIM..

PICTURE ABOVE IS FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY

THIS DID NOT COME OUT OF THE TRUCK OFFERED TODAY

MANY TIMES THE OLD ENGINE IS SIMPLY THROWN AWAY AND THE ID NUMBERS ARE GONE FOREVER!
