Vehicle Description
1942 Chevrolet 1/2-Ton Pickup
The Chevrolet AK Series truck was a light duty truck sold under the
Chevrolet brand, with production beginning in 1941 until 1947. It
used the GM A platform, shared with the Chevrolet Deluxe. The AK
series was also branded and sold at GMC locations, with the primary
visual difference being the Chevrolet had vertical bars in the
grille, while the GMC had horizontal bars.
This truck's claim to fame is there is an actual Winross Truck
Model patterned after it. The restoration is that beautiful, with a
stunning color combination, straight steel, and eye-catching white
grille, this truck is more comfortable taking you to the local
country club, than hauling hay to the barn.
Exterior
With green cab, hood and bed sides, and contrasting black fenders,
running boards and large headlights, fronted by a fascinating white
painted horizontal and vertical bar integrated grille, this truck
drips with 1940's design. Chrome and trim are all beautiful and
nearly better than new from the factory. Matching body color green
wheels are adorned with Chevrolet logo moon style polished chrome
hubcaps, and white white sidewall and thin tire radials. A newly
installed white oak wood bed is noted and none of it has a mark on
it.
Interior
Matte light gun metal gray sprays the metal door panels, and dash.
Warm chocolate brown in rectangular form houses the simple gauge
cluster in front of the steering wheel. A few cream bakelite knobs
are seen within the dash, as well as a newly covered chocolate
textured vinyl bench seat. A vinyl headliner, and sprayed gun metal
gray panels make up the interior roof of the cab. Utilitarian
rubber in black covers the floors.
Drivetrain
Opening either side of the center hinged hood, we can see a
perfectly restored 216ci inline 6-cylinder popper, with a 1-barrel
side draft carburetor. A 3-speed manual transmission is attached to
the rear of the I6 and shifts effortlessly.
Undercarriage
Due to the restoration quality, there are absolutely no faults to
remark about underneath. New running boards have also recently been
put on.
A vintage beautifully designed pickup, in Concours condition, near
perfect paint, an overall great restoration, has literally made a
silk purse out of a sow's ear. "With a cluck cluck here and a moo
moo there" I'll see you at the country club! It is now ready for
"pickup" at the Classic Auto Mall.
