Vehicle Description
1936 Chevrolet � Ton Pickup
"As rare as this Chevy is now, it started out like one of the other
204,344 Chevy trucks produced for 1936. The only engine available
was a 206.8 cubic inch inline six cylinder, producing 79hp. It was
linked to a 3-speed standard transmission and sat on a 112-inch
wheelbase. New for 1936 were horizontal hood louvers replacing
vertical openings found on the 1935 models. The list price started
at $475. Options included a rear bumper, outside rearview mirror,
dual windshield wipers, heater, clock, cigarette lighter, radio and
white sidewall tires." Thxleaderpost.com
For consignment, a 1936 Chevrolet � ton pickup truck showing 55,868
miles, but the true miles are unknown on this street rodded example
now housing a V8 up front atop a Mustang II front end. This truck
is clean inside and out and represents the promise of some good
times this car show season!
Exterior
Can't miss it red adorns every inch of the truck from the tall 1936
grille and headlight buckets back to the flat tailgate and valance.
It's not without some special touches though, including a
pinstriping flourish on the radiator shell, a painted bowtie on
that same nose, a painted silver stripe with red and green
pinstripes and bowties encircling the cabin, and CLASS OF '36 on
the tailgate along with more pinstripe designs. A bowtie also
adorns the steel step plates on the wide running boards which
connect the rounded fenders lowered over 15-inch polished American
Racing Torque Thrust wheels with widely staggered size tires. An
oval rear window looks over wood planks and stainless rails in the
bed along with a wooden travel trunk to carry some goods.
Imperfections include numerous touches up chips, some random
scratches, and some damage on the body below the radiator.
Interior
Simple pleated tan leather door panels include some orange
stitching and present cleanly on both doors while the front buckets
come together like a flat bench with a padded armrest in the center
for both occupants to share along with the continuation of orange
stitching, all in clean condition. A wood rimmed, banjo style
steering wheel provides a glossy handle that leads to a red dash
with VDO white faced gauges and an added tachometer below. Billet
style knobs top all stalks on the column including the shifter and
a blue Chevrolet bowtie is front and center. Meanwhile gray loop
carpet provides a nice floor covering and tan suede leather covers
the ceiling and cab walls.
Drivetrain
Lots of polished metal dress up the 350ci in the engine compartment
which is open for viewing. The engine is topped by an Edelbrock
intake and 4-barrel carburetor and is mated to a TH350 3-speed
automatic sending power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Power brakes are
supplied with discs up front and drums in the back.
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with some surface rust, residual oil and
some on the rear differential, some spray foam, a piece of cracked
wood where a screw entered, and a rough seam. The dual exhaust
includes glasspack style mufflers, then exits out the back via big
oval chrome tips. Mustang II makes up the front suspension with
leaf springs taking up the rear.
Drive-Ability
A pump of the gas and a turn of the key and the trusty 350 with a
1969-1979 engine casting number fires right up, emitting a healthy
exhaust note that sounds beefy but won't wake most neighbors. The
lowered street rod provides a comfortable cabin and great forward
visibility with side mirrors to assist in the back. This is a
nicely built truck and as a result, all functions operate as one
would expect. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
Good looks, retro pinstriping, a comfortable and clean interior.
And let's not forget about that show ready, gleaming, beaming 350
cuber! This is the complete package and the only thing it's missing
is a new garage. We're sure it will fit yours, but we're happy to
get you the dimensions! In our book, vintage street rodded trucks
are just the right size!
