1941 Chevrolet Pickup, Light Duty 3/4 Ton on 2040-cars
Westphalia, Missouri, United States
|
Due to some unforeseen financial problems I am forced to sell
my 1941 Chevy pickup that I've been working on for some time.
In 1941 Chevrolet made two 3/4 ton trucks...the heavy duty
3/4 ton and the light duty 3/4 ton.
This is the light duty which is basically a 1/2 ton
long bed with a little heavier suspension.
This is the same wheelbase as the heavy duty but has
the 6 lug wheels and 11 inch brakes..the heavy duty had larger brakes and 8 lug
wheels. Truck has open drive shaft whereas the 1/2 ton had the enclosed Torque tube drive shaft.
This truck is very straight with hardly any rust through (
just a little in the bottoms of the doors) and about 95% complete...missing some
minor things like air cleaner, tail light, and light switch. Milage listed is what shows on speedometer but actual milage is unknown. Gauge cluster is complete and the gauges that are hooked up (oil and temp) both work...rest haven't been hooked up yet so may/may not work.
When I bought this it was pulled from a shed that was falling
down around it. (see last picture) Since then I have done quite a bit of work to it and bought
several parts for it.
Things I've done to it so far:
Seat has been reupholstered,
Brakes repaired...rebuilt master
cylinder, new wheel cylinders on all four wheels, new brake shoes front and
rear, new rubber brake hoses front and rear, two new steel brake
lines.
New exhaust pipe, muffler , and tail pipe.
New distributor cap, plugs, plug wires,
points, condenser.
Rebuilt starter.
New wiring harness (not installed, still
in the package)
New 6 volt battery. New radiator hoses. New fan belt
Engine has all new seals and gaskets
installed..(after reinstalling the engine, it is leaking oil when it
runs...I think I might have let the oil pan gasket move when I installed it but
haven't gotten around to checking it out.
Engine starts and runs good but has some blow-by and
the tappets rattle a little.
Doors open and close good, windows both roll up and
down.
Door glasses and rear window are both good...no glass in
windshield but inexpensive flat glass.
No rust in floorboard or wiper panel above
windshield.
Frame is rust free.
Overall this truck is straight and pretty much complete. Just
about everything left to do to it is cosmetic.
Entire front clip..fenders, hood, grille and lights are in
good shape.
Running boards need very little and are not rusted
out.
Bed panels are straight as is the front panel, even the
original tailgate is very restorable. Bed floor is steel.
Right rear fender needs a little welding but is better than
most I've seen.
Left rear fender needs very little work. As you can see in the pictures, I do not have the original wheels...they were not with it when I bought it. Tires are old but hold air and can be used until correct wheels & tires are installed. I have a clear Missouri title in my name.
Truck yard drives but I have not taken it out on the
street.
Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing looked good when
I had the engine out so I didn't replace them.
All of the gears work...granny low and second have the old
truck 4-speed growl.
Look at the pictures and bid accordingly.
I'd really like to keep this truck but that isn't financially
possible right now. Truck is located in Westphalia MO 65085 (central Missouri about 15 miles southeast of Jefferson City)
Truck is sold as is with low reserve...reserve is set below
what I can part it out for and considerably less than I've already invested in
it.
Shipping is the buyers responsibility.. I can help with the
loading.
$500 down payment to be made through Paypal within 48 hours
of auction ending, balance to be paid in cash when Item is picked
up.
Truck to be picked up within one week of auction end unless
other arrangements are approved by seller prior to auction end.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
