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.
