Description:

Call my cell with any questions (717)873-8019. VERY nice original 1954 Chevy 6400 grain truck with working dump bed. Only 88, 483 ORIGINAL miles - and yes it is documented an a clean PA title. Truck was purchased in North Dakota in 2007 and driven all the way here to York, PA. Truck has original straight 6 gasoline engine with 4 speed manual transmission with split rear. Original and very good working 6 volt charging system and battery. Max weight rating 16, 000 GVW. Dump bed has removable steel sides and original PTO controls mounted on the dash inside the cab. Cab body is unbelievably straight and with very little rust. There is no rust or evidence of any body repair anywhere along the bottom or on any of the rocker panels. I do believe there may be body filler on both windshield pillars but nowhere else on the truck. Both fenders are just beginning to rust where they are welded fast to the body, most likely because the corded moldings there are deteriorated and water seems to want to collect there. A thin bead of caulk on each fender weld would conceal any sign of rust and prevent any further rusting. There is no rust through the metal as you can see from inside the cab. The frame is free of any significant rust and the engine compartment is very clean. I believe the truck was originally robin egg blue but there is evidence that it was repainted some time ago. Paint is in very good, glossy, and clean condition with just a handful of minor chips / scratches. Paint of the bed side panels is original and with the original hand done pin striping. One of the deck boards is significantly rotted and soft to the step on the passenger side towards the back. Should you decide to replace that board, you will want to do the entire bed. All of the other boards are showing signs of rot too from the underside even though they appear solid on the top. Dump mechanism is good working and raises to the top but it is slow. You can speed it up a little by applying throttle. I suspect the unit may be low on hydraulic fluid but I can not say for sure. Trucks head lights and tail lights are all good working and so are the turn signals and horn. There is an amber marker light missing at the driver side back corner of the deck but the wiring is there to connect a new one. Passenger side door mirror is broken and will need replaced. Stone chip on windshield around the middle on the drivers side. Cab interior is very nice and clean and appears to be original. Minor hole on the drivers side of the bench seat back. Truck is EXCELLENT running and drives down the road smooth and straight. Starts up very easily every time. Truck has (6) new tires, new exhaust system, battery, generator, master cylinder, belts and hoses all installed less than 1000 miles ago. I dare not call the truck perfect or show-room condition but it is very, very nice and needs relatively very little. Looking for a warm cozy garage to spent the rest of its years.
