front of your business and watch the people flock in. This restored
truck has been dressed in a light green as it gets ready to move
into its second century of life. The paint and trim are in overall
very good order, the bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay
is extremely tidy and the truck has no bumpers. There is a small
wooden space for tools or other cargo between the 95-gallon tank
and the cab. Note the driver-side windshield wiper, external sun
visor and the dual taillights.The 95-gallon fuel tank is
Brown-certified from Brown Sheet Iron and Steel (Not for commercial
use) This truck rolls on Michelin tires, size 6.50-20, at every
corner. These tires are mounted on wooden artillery wheels. The
wheels and tires are all in very good shape. The truck has
two-wheel drums brakes, mounted in the rear. Under the hood is
Chevrolet?s 171 CID OHV four-cylinder engine, a company mainstay by
the late 1920s. It was launched in 1913 and featured splash
lubrication. This model year would be the next-to-last one for
motor. It is connected here to a three-speed manual transmission
with a 3.82:1 rear end. Inside, the black cloth bench seat is in
excellent shape while there are mats on the floor, not carpeting. A
gorgeous wooden headliner is above the driver and a four-spoke
steering wheel with a wood rim. The body-colored metal instrument
panel has center-mounted gauges and the inner door liners are made
of wood and look good. A floor-mounted shifter completes the
interior. Competing half-ton trucks in 1927 included Ford, Dodge,
GMC, International, Plymouth and many more in the pre-World War II
market. If you collect trucks of all vintage, stripes and uses, you
