History About Chevy's DB Master Pickup:
From 1932 to 1933, Chevrolet was facing stiff competition from
other American half-ton pickup truck manufacturers, like Ford and
Dodge, and needed something new and refreshing to differentiate
their line of pickups. Both Ford and Dodge were designing their
trucks independently from their other automobiles, and Chevrolet
needed to do the same to retain their place in the market. By 1934,
Chevrolet introduced a line of pickup trucks that did just that.
This new line-up of trucks introduced new styling with components
that were not interchangeable with their passenger car cousins.
Along with that these new pickup trucks would plant the seed for
Chevrolet trucks to grow and prosper as their own platform in the
future.
Introduced in December 1933, Chevrolet's new line of pickups was
drastically different than their predecessors. Styling was more
attractive and featured smoother and slightly more voluptuous
fenders, and the designers revised the grille; all of these updates
helped to increase the fluidity of the truck's design to make it
more appealing to customers. Engineers also stretched the wheelbase
to 112 inches and moved the engine placement further forward on the
chassis. The split between passenger cars and pickup trucks of this
year also allowed for the introduction of a brand-new frame. This
new frame was much sturdier and stronger than past frames in
Chevrolet's trucks, which allowed the new 1934 models to haul
heavier loads and function more effectively as trucks.
About Our Available Chevrolet DB Master Pickup Truck:
Manufactured in Tarrytown, New York, in 1934, this half-ton DB
Master Closed Cab Pickup is equipped with Chevrolet's 206-cubic
inch overhead valve inline six producing 60 horsepower, which is
mated to a three-speed manual transmission. As the recipient of a
full frame-off mechanical and cosmetic restoration in approximately
2013, it goes without saying that this truck is in fantastic
condition, inside and out. This Pickup has only been driven during
the summer months on fair weather days, and it will surely be
enjoyed by its new owner. It was recently treated to four brand new
wide whitewall tires and carburetor overhaul in December 2020. This
is a fantastic truck and an excellent example of an important year
and model within the history of the Chevrolet truck. Pickup trucks
of this era have garnered a lot of interest from collectors, and
this example would certainly receive many compliments while out and
about.
