This handsomely presented Chevy Five-Window Pickup Truck has had the same owner for the past 10 years, a local truck since 1994 that has been very well cared for and maintained. Documentation includes hand-written lists of $13,635 of parts, plus thousands of dollars in restoration and service work receipts over the past 3 decades. Dressed in a two-tone red, the trucks paint and trim are in overall excellent order. The split windshield and other glass panes are clear and intact, the lights look great, this trucks bodywork is straight and solid, and the cargo bed with its wooden floor looks fantastic. The engine bay is extremely tidy and the trucks chrome bumpers shine and look great. This truck rolls on Coker Classic tires, size 7.60-15 at every corner. Each one is mounted on a steel wheel, topped with a factory moon wheel cover. The wheels are in excellent order while the tires are in very good condition. Under the hood a upgraded 235 CID straight six-cylinder engine. Backing this motor are a three-speed manual transmission with a column-mounted shifter and a 4.11:1 rear end. This truck rides on a 116-inch wheelbase and has a 4,100 GVWR. Inside, the gray and red interior is striking. The bench seat, upholstered in gray cloth, is in excellent shape. The floor mats and metal headliner look great, a three-spoke steering wheel frames the dashboard but the horn and the amp gauge is inoperable. That dash is red, metal and looks sharp and a optional under-dash heater. The inner door liners are in similar condition. A column-mounted shift lever rounds out the interior. For 1950, telescopic shock absorbers replace lever-action type. Last year for driver's side cowl vent, its handle is now flat steel, not maroon knob as in previous years. Advance-Design was a light and medium duty truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. Its GMC counterpart was the GMC New Design. It was billed as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. First available on Saturday, June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the Advance-Design model. The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban, panel trucks, canopy express, and cab overs. The cab overs used the same basic cab configuration and similar grille but used a shorter and taller hood and different fenders. The unique Cab Over fenders and hood required a custom cowl area which makes the Cab Over Engine cabs and normal truck cabs incompatible with one another while all truck cabs of all weights interchange. From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations. Competition to this Chevy in 1950 was Dodges B1-B half-tons, Fords F-1 half-tons and GMCs New Design Series trucks. This is gorgeous classic pickup truck from a range that is highly desirable, especially a nicely sorted five-window cab pickup.
