Vehicle Description
HIGHLIGHTS: Super clean restored Chevy AK pickup! Nice
original-style resto in great condition! Same owner 20+ years!
Classic and uncommon GM truck!
BODY OVERVIEW: The beauty of this pickup is the cleanliness and
sharpness of the restoration. The body is straight, clean, and
unencumbered by large amounts of chrome. Truly, this truck appears
as if it drove right out of 1942 right into 2022! The black painted
wood bed was a great choice, and really drives the original 'basic
truck' look home. Complete with a lot of solid original sheet
metal, this truck is truly an impressive 80-year-old vehicle.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Much like the body, the paint simply
looks great! This is a freshly finished restoration, but the paint
is a few years old. Nonetheless, it presents well and the color is
sure to be an eye-catcher on this truck! When not optioned
otherwise, these trucks were all manufactured in Brewster Green,
and this truck was no exception. During the restoration process,
the owner opted for this factory available Boatswain Blue.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: As one would expect, the interior is
restored with new parts and materials. However, due to the length
of ownership, the owner opted to refinish and reuse original parts
whenever possible. The end result is a very clean, well-presented
original-style interior down to the hammered finish on the door
panels and dash.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Continuing with the mostly original theme,
under the hood is a 235ci Chevrolet inline 6-cylinder engine in
place of the original 216. The 235 six runs great, sounds great,
and is more than adequate power for casual cruising. Equipped with
a column-shift 3-speed manual transmission, this Chevrolet pickup
is sure to provide an authentic pre-war pickup truck
experience.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The clean look and original
styling. Sometimes, it's hard to beat that original look! Plus the
length of ownership!
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: At 80 years old, this truck
will dutifully deliver you an authentic 1940s truck experience,
however do bear in mind that it drives like a truck from the
1940s.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? The wipers, horn, and heater are not
operational at this time.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Anyone looking for a fun,
unique truck that hasn't been customized or modified should be all
over this! If you're after an original-style restored Chevy truck
from an uncommon model year, this could be a good fit.
