At this past weeks Lead East Show, I had for sale signs on my 1949  Chevy 
five window 1/2 ton.  The truck is about 99% stock, and of course has  the custom 
painted Lackawanna Magnetic signs with black fenders.    Thus this authentic 
mariner blue truck can be a RR truck or if desired just  a plain truck with in 
seconds.  

I have learned over the years that  for every 10  of these type tucks you see 
9 are supped up hot rods or at  least have a big 350 engine put in them.   
This truck is still 6  volts, and has an original Chevy 216  engine.   Last year 
 2  K worth of new radials and rebuilt lever action shocks were added to the  
truck.  I also have the old split rim truck tires for any one who wants to  
be REALLY authentic.   When purchased I hand undercoated the entire  truck with 
Por 15, which for any one that's into restoration or rust proofing  knows, it 
doesn't get any better than that. I have all the original owners  manuals, 
dozens of Chevy truck catalogs, and most all receipts over the past  10-14 years 
etc, etc.
 
The truck has always been a big hit at cruise nights, and shows and  can be a 
lot fun for those with time to take care of it.
 
I have at least one serious individual coming back out to NJ to see it  again 
in a week.  He is not a railfan!
Of course my first choice would be to sell it to a responsible Lackawanna  
Railfan,  that intends to keep it stock, but either way the truck  will 
eventually get sold.  I am stating this here on the EL  list  with some CC to others, 
but of course would ask all those SERIOUSLY  interested to contact me off 
list. Asking price is a firm $12,600.00 at  this time.
 
Attached are some photos, that I hope go through.   Shiloh is not  for sale 
at any price.
