1941 Chevrolet AK PICKUP 1/2 TON 115 INCH WHEELBASE Truck

This is the classic Chevrolet AK 1/2 Ton Pickup truck. The quintessential Art Deco truck debuted in 1941 and for the most part was limited in production due to World War II.  This Chevy received a restoration some years ago and shows very well. The interior is very clean and somewhat original in appearance, while the bed is super clean and the wood lining is very teak. These are so cool that even Steve McQueen owned one. His was black and recently sold on eBay for $66,099 several months ago.

The Pickup runs very well and shifts through all four gears with well.  Keep in mind these transmissions were not as synchronized as today's manual transmissions, but they were very sturdy and heavy duty. The Loadmaster 235cid inline six has plenty of power (93hp) and runs very strong. This truck can easily maintain easy highway speeds with comfort. 

It has the addition of a modern turn signal system and all lighting functions properly. The parking brake is nice and tight and works properly. The speedometer is working properly, the gas gauge, battery and oil pressure also. Overall, this AK Pickup offers a very pleasurable driving experience when you consider the vintage and lack of technology.

Here are a couple of videos to hear the motor and see it drive:
