Chevy 5 Window Truck

[OutlawDrifter]

Not nit picking just wondering about front blinkers.

These pickups didn't come with blinkers front or rear...that's what hand signals are for

Not nit picking just wondering about front blinkers.

LED blinkers and running lights are in the grill. Blinkers are brighter than the running lights in this photo. Installed LED head lights but have adjusted.

Mounted the rear bumper. License plate will be mounted so as to use the trailer hitch receiver which lets it tuck under the face of the bumper. License plate holder provide a third running and brake light. Truck is almost finished have one interior window trim piece to install, painted 2 passenger side pieces, and to wire the license plate holder. Driven the truck 53 miles as we try to break in the differential and engine and to sort out minor issues.
Trailer hitch receiver included as the long-term thought is to build a tear drop trailer using aircraft aluminum sandwich material, actually used on commercial aircraft floors, to provide a super strong/ lite weight trailer.

Truck has just completed 500 miles and runs and handles very well. 473 HP will get it down the road in a hurry but then it will cruise on the highway.

Love the color combo, especially in the interior.

My brother's building a 48 on a Roadster Shop chassis. I guess it's about done, should probably go look at it someday.

Followed the sale of your truck on BAT. I'm contemplating on going down the same path with mine.

Could you comment on your BAT experience?

 

[Swanny1953]

I can't speak to the seller experience, but I have bought 2 vehicles from BAT - a '57 Cameo pickup and a '49 Cadillac Sedanette. I had good experience with an orderly process both times. In both cases, I used BAT shipping which seemed to be pretty seamless. I also used the BAT check out process on the Caddy, which I liked because they certified the title and final delivery before releasing funds to the seller (partial on receipt of good title, remainder on delivery).
I know auctions are always a risk and "caveat emptor" is the rule of the day, but I've had good luck (knock on wood) with both BAT and the 2 cars I have bought at Barrett-Jackson.
Good luck with your sale!
