Engine not seized, I had it cranking by bypassing ignition switch, but did not attempt to start, fuel line is disconnected, and fuel tank is probably rusty inside, truck has been sitting for approximatly 15 years. Overall condition of the truck is rough. Back window and right side window missing, all other glass is broken. Rust thru on fenders, cab corners, lower bottom inside doors, cab floor. Some dents, but not many, although the tailgate is pretty banged up. No battery cables. What was left of the wooden bed was removed, it was unsalvageable, along with the metal strips that secure the planks. Bed body panel mounts are rusted away, entire bed box is barely attached. Missing floor panel cover that mounts over transmission. Missing brake hardware on right front, {shoes, springs, adjuster}, but all drums are on the truck and no wheel bearings are seized. Rear axle not seized. Engine will probably run after some wiring work, and maybe running a hose from fuel pump to a gas can. Might have to pour gas down carb.

Missing headlights and headlight buckets, and turn signal lights in front. Missing one rear brake lense. Hood is very straight, maybe missing a grille section, {see pics}. Seats not original, need recovering or seat covers, dont know what they came out of. Was told by former owner that truck ran when parked.Frame, front axle, steering components, etc. look solid. Springs look usable. Good parts truck, if you need a frame or engine -trans-rear-etc., major work to restore body. A few extra loose parts included, but not pictured, - interior window crank and door handle, drivers side mirror. Hood and fender emblems, like the rest of the truck, has been painted twice, not including the original factory paint..

Truck sold as is. Local pickup only, I will not have anything to do with shipping, although some assistance will be offered to help load it, bring your own chains, tie downs, etc. All tires hold air, but are not road worthy. Rims in good condition, but may not be original, One is from a 1947 GMC or Chevy.
