All I can say is wow! but from looking at the photos my question is where does the exhaust dump? Firewall maybe, maybe its the heating system

The Exhaust dumps out in front of the cowl no doubt an open megaphone header.

It looks like someone killed off an MG Midget in the process. Add says it is sitting on a Chevy chassis..

The car almost looks like it got started by someone with big plans to build his "classic 2 seat sports car" using the MG body and Chevy chassis and probably the fenders off what ever the hood came off and failed due to a severe lack of skill out of basic first semester ag shop welding. Then some rat rod dude got their hands on it. At least that is how it looks.

Somehow, I don't think "sophisticated" would have been the adjective I would have picked...

**mr48chev** · 09-12-2021, 06:49 PM

Way too much deliberately crude and very suspect work on that panel It looks like it could have been made into a pretty nice truck before he got his hands on it.

Heres 54 3600 a start for someone up in Vancouver WA

**mr48chev** · 09-22-2021, 02:22 PM

Solid looking truck that looks like it is in Eugene.

vintovka · 09-22-2021, 05:59 PM

Oops didn't see its been moved to Eugene!! I agree

**mr48chev** · 09-22-2021, 07:49 PM

I have a feeling that is where it has been all the time.

Rare, and hard to find in good shape, service boxes (They look like they in good shape from what the photos show) Comes with a nice 49 too $7900! Not mine.

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/...373357568.html

Barn find! 1949 Chevy 3100, utility Bell Telephone truck. 216 Inline 6, 4spd on floor feels tight, no seat or battery, floors are mostly rust free. Running boards in nice condition, some dents. needs new grill. Minor rust, mostly straight, compartment doors open with trays in great condition. Be a great restoration rig for a utility company, or a Flying A exhibit for your gas station. No title. Comes with bill of sale, ready to restore! Any questions, call or text. Serious inquiries only. $7,500 obo

**mr48chev** · 09-25-2021, 06:48 PM

That's one for someone to restore back to it's Bell Telephone glory.

I haven't seen the truck in over 30 years but a guy in this area who had worked for Bell bought his old service truck when the company sold/traded it and restored it to show quality way back then.

MiraclePieCo · 09-28-2021, 09:04 PM

New Ebay listing. 1950 S-10 conversion. "Amazing rat rod...running and driving at one time...gets a ton of attention." Too far for me to pick up but pretty near youngrodder. Now that he has his Suburban finished, this looks like the perfect next project. The hard part is already done.

vintovka · 09-28-2021, 09:30 PM

What engine is that?

**Dan in Pasadena** · 09-28-2021, 10:33 PM

That thing is rough as a cob. Based on its appearance I would NOT trust everything was done properly....but I could be wrong.

I'd like to have the door as garage art though.

PS: Depending on which year S10 was used it could be a 2.8 (bad) or a 4.3(good!) V6

Afraid you are correct, Its a mess.

**mr48chev** · 09-29-2021, 03:17 AM

Last time I edit this if someone notices, I can't tell what happened to that rust bucket, a lot of money to pay for a pair of 5 window quarter windows and little else that is usable. it looks like it was under water for a while.

**jweb** · 09-29-2021, 10:22 AM

Another "telephone" truck

**mr48chev** · 09-29-2021, 12:00 PM

Those guys who are into the "work truck look" right now will be all over that one. I'd restore it right back to how it should have looked on the first day on the job with the phone company though. That would be a great one to show up at the American Truck
Historic Society events with. They had one here in 2013 with hundreds of restored trucks

That fire truck is one solid looking truck. It looks like a fun rig to have just to drive in local parades.

MiraclePieCo · 10-02-2021, 02:26 AM

Unfinished project, professionally built, all parts included except gauges and glass. From being an amateur hot rod builder, I am aware that this truck has far more money invested in just parts than his $9995.00 asking price. Note that the paint job alone is claimed to have cost $10,000!

This fire truck is sweet. Typically they have low mileage and are well maintained. Original 265 V8 is very unique

MiraclePieCo · 10-03-2021, 04:15 AM

Bang! Sold in one day! I thought it was one heck of a deal.

There is actually seems to be such a thing as a mr_patina_head Kustom paint job but a guy would have to be a real fool to pay someone 10 K to make his truck look like a junk yard reject.

Still on that one the pretty solid body and a long parts list add up real quick to well over 10K.
