For Sale: 1941 Chevrolet 1/2-Ton Pickup in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1941 Chevrolet � Ton Pickup

From 1941 to 1947, Chevrolet offered a series of pickup trucks known as the AK series, assembled at 10 different plants around the country. The trucks were also branded and sold at GMC dealerships and the distinct, vertical grille was turned sideways for the GMC trucks which were otherwise identical.

For consignment, a 1941 Chevrolet � ton pickup truck showing 36,759 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Don't let the Mater-like outer appearance fool you, this truck is fully built with lots of 70's and 80's Caprice components lending to its custom configuration.

Exterior
Fans of Roadkill might liken the exterior of this truck to the Muscle Truck with its varying panels. Here we have mostly primer red with some sweet, authentic patina that's nearly impossible to recreate accurately, and like the Muscle Truck, one shiny rear fender! That telltale grille still shines, standing out amongst the uneven shades of red with rust, scratches, and even cracking filler. The bed was probably dark blue at some point but now it's a chalky mix of gray and blue while the bed rails and wood bed floor looks like they've been cooking in the sun for a few decades. Contrast is found again in the glossy rear bumper and black spoked 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. The '41 plate is consistent in condition and caps a virtual work of art. That plate, by the way, can be transferred if the truck is bought and registered in Pennsylvania.

Interior
Are glossy black door panels with tweed inserts and billet handles a sign of things to come? Indeed, they lead to a bench seat with black cloth around tweed inserts in clean condition with a tear on the ingress point only. Up front, the street rod steering wheel leads to a polished faceplate around white faced AutoMeter gauges all contained in a glossy black dashboard. Carpeted mats protect the floor and a grain vinyl headliner is above as a console holds an AM/FM radio and speakers on high.

Drivetrain
Behind the vented engine cover is a 350ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the Ford 8" axle in back. We would call this engine bay driver quality in its esthetic appearance and the truck runs on a 12 volt system.

Undercarriage
More Ford influence is found underneath with the Mustang II front end which provides power steering and is paired with leaf springs in back. Power brakes are supplied with disc in front and drums in the back and the dual exhaust runs through glasspack style mufflers and finds a straight pipe exit out the back. There's surface rust underneath as expected, but not apparent leaks or invasive rust.

Drive-Ability
It might not look it from the outside, but the truck is fully functional and rolls onto the test loop without issue. We are on very old tires, so won't be flogging this truck and unlike Roadkill's Stubby Bob, there will be no wheelies. Meanwhile, what functions do exist in the truck all operate as they should in this completely usable vehicle. 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.

They say don't judge a book by its cover and that's the case here as the '41 has a reliable 350 under the hood and even power steering! When it's time for the show, you won't be spending hours polishing the paint. Jump in, turn the key, and go. Lots of potential with this one and we're hoping our first 1941 Chevrolet pickup will find a loving new owner!
