Vehicle Description
1928 Chevrolet LP 1-Ton Pickup Truck
Please note, this vehicle does not come with a battery.
Please note, this vehicle does not come with a key.
The LO series replaced the LM series in 1928, but then the LO was
succeeded at mid-year by the LP Series. Actually, the LO series was
almost identical to the LM series, and can be considered a
transitional vehicle. However, the LP series offered many
mechanical improvements over previous truck models. There was a new
4-speed transmission as standard equipment (a lighter version of a
4-speed transmission was an option before) and mechanical 4-wheel
brakes (LP is the first Chevrolet truck equipped with front
brakes). The 4-cylinder engine developed 35 hp.
For consignment a barn find condition 1-ton LP Chevrolet pickup
truck. With additional added options of running boards, fenders,
and a Chevrolet chassis on which is a wood bed and steel cab. Seats
and steering wheel are workable on the interior, however for the
mechanicals they will need some wrenching and TLC.
Exterior
Patina panels showing surface rust, aged paint, and some missing
add ons (A pillar light inserts) it is all metal and mostly there.
From its cowled radiator surround, to the flip up two sided hood,
cab enclosure with doors, and wood bed in nice condition, it has
the beginnings of a restoration within reach, not too far gone.
Fenders and running boards are intact as are wood spoked wheels and
the appearance of a newer front bumper, which seems out of place
given the rest of the truck's condition.
Interior
A nice condition (slightly dirty) black split seat full back bench
seat retains its springs, and upholstery remains in good condition
in its black vinyl state. A large wood rimmed steering wheel fronts
the original utilitarian dash showing a trio of inserts within the
surface rusted metal dash front. Floors and door panels are made of
wood, and a long gear shift rises up for the driver. Headliner is
metal and shows more surface rust, and all glass is in and not
cracked.
Drivetrain
171 cubes showing up as an inline 4 cylinder is within the
unrestored engine bay under the dual cowls. A 1-barrel carburetor
is atop, and a 4-speed manual on the back of the engine. This power
plant is not hooked up electrically or cooling wise, so it is in
not running or cranking condition.
Undercarriage
A strong metal frame with just slight surface rust supports the
wood bed, metal seat floorpan, and wood floor, as well as a
structurally sound engine mounting. Heavy surface rust is seen on
most parts, but no invasive damaging rust. This was the first year
for front drum brakes, and these are mechanical brakes which are on
all 4 corners. Leaf spring suspension is also seen throughout the
bottom.
An open palette with workable invasive rust-free steel panels.
Fenders and running boards, a wood bed, and all there interior,
definitely offers the ability to bring her back and have a nice
example of the LP series truck of a 1928 bowtie truck.
