1954 Chevy 6400 5-window 2-ton Farm Truck--NO RESERVE

A note on the value of this truck: I have been told the cab alone is worth $2000 (which supposedly is the same cab as the 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton. 1 ton, etc) and the flatbed is worth $1000. That leaves the 261 and all running gear for the value of any shipping. I have removed the reserve and put the minimum bid at a bargain price. I just went out and started the engine without any issues--this truck is in great shape with no cancer and has started every time since I first got it started and has lots of potential. No need to offer a lower price--the truck is worth much more than the minimum bid.
1954 Chevrolet 6400 2-ton Flatbed with operating PTO tilt--dump truck. Possibly Chevrolet's best engine ever made--JobMaster 261 cubic inch 6-cylinder (see article by Jim Carter at jimcartertruckparts/Articles/261-Engine.) 4-speed transmission with 2-speed rear differential, dual-suspension. 5-window cab with original green paint. The 13' 3" flat bed is a dump bed, which was built in Portland for the new truck and is heavy duty solid. This truck is an eastern Oregon Farm Truck where there is almost no humidity so none to very little rust. The truck was still running on the farm. Since I bought it, I have it stored under cover and really enjoyed working on it. I spent a lot of time cleaning it up, then removed the head and had it inspected--passed inspection at local machine shop. I had new valves installed, and then rebuilt the carburetor, new battery, new coil, wires, cap, rotor, plugs, etc. The 261 starts every time and the truck drives--I drove it around the block. PTO operated and tilts the bed. Brake system is complete with hydro-vac. Master cylinder is rebuilt, but system needs to be bled and inspected for operation. Front pads are thin, but rear pads are thick. The Hand brake has drum on driveshaft, which is functional. Body is complete and in great shape. A dent on the back of the cab against the flatbed and the doors need to be adjusted to close properly. no holes in the floor boards and no visible rust at the bottom corners All windows are fine except both door windows. The windshield, back window and curved windows are all good. I heard this same cab is used as a 1/2 ton, 1 ton, 1 1/2 ton and 2 ton and the cab alone is worth $2000and the bed is worth $1000 alone.
Update: I drove the truck around the block a few weeks ago, using the hand brake to slow and stop the truck. I went through 1st and 2nd and 3rd gears--all functioned perfectly. Only reason I did not put it in 4th was because I was driving slow and relying on the hand brake to stop.
I will work with you on transportation/shipping arrangements.
