Vehicle Description
As Americans returned home from postwar Europe and returned to
work, demand for working vehicles soared. Auto companies went to
work revamping their aging truck offerings, and in 1947 Chevrolet
was first out of the gate with its Advanced Design series of
pickups. The new trucks were a completely modernized departure from
the previous generation. Headlights were integrated into the front
fenders, grilles resembled passenger car designs, and the roomy cab
was designed with full ventilation, abundant head and leg room and
a new dashboard that would inspire future car designs.
This beautifully restored truck is finished sparklingly in a pastel
teal color which is accented with a small white pinstripe around
the cab. All the trim and rubber pieces have been replaced or
restored to look brilliant against the mirror gloss paint. Other
features include chrome bumpers front and rear, new wood bed floor
and wooden stake side planks that give this rare truck character.
The wider than stock steel wheels are color-matched to the body and
fitted with bright bow-tie logo hubcaps and trim rings that are
wrapped with 235/75R-15 whitewall radial tires. The interior is
restored and exceptionally clean.
Under the hood is very clean and features a smooth-running 235
cubic-inch straight-six engine mated to a 3-speed manual
transmission. The engine has been upgraded with a split exhaust
manifold that allows for a true dual exhaust system with
glasspack-style resonators that sound fantastic.
