Vehicle Detail
1946 Chevrolet AK Series Pickup Truck. Remarkable original condition rust free one owner truck. Runs and drives just like it did in 1946 and has been used on the same farm every year since new. I have the original rear fenders and tailgate in great condition to go with the truck. They were removed in the winter of 1961 to install a hydraulic hoist which still operates faultlessly. Selling with No Reserve to the highest bidder. This Chevrolet AK Series has the straightest most rust free body I have ever witnessed on an un-restored truck of this era. The cab, floorboards, fenders, doors and bed are completely rust free. All paint is original and obviously shows it's age. There are a few farm work related dents but really much less than you would expect for a vehicle that has been used every summer for the past 72 years. The grille is in excellent condition. One hub cap is missing but these are easily sourced and I will try to find one before the auction ends. As mentioned above a hoist was installed as with most farm trucks. Fortunately great care was taken when this was done and it could easily be removed with no evidence that it was ever there. And the original rear fenders and tailgate could easliy be re-mounted. All glass is original and in great shape. Overall this is likely the cleanest most solid original body you'll find on an AK Series pickup truck. The interior is also in remarkable condition. All gauges work as good as new. It is all original other than a radio added in the 1970s and a seat cover. The dashboard, door panels and headliner are in excellent original condition which is fascinating to see in a truck of this age. You will not find an original interior of this era in better condition. Mechanically this truck is just as good as the body and interior. It has been used every summer of its life so has been very well maintained. It is all original still using the 6 volt system. It starts instantly hot or cold. It runs as smooth as a Swiss watch. The engine does not smoke. The brakes work very well with a good firm pedal. All lights work. It shifts very nicely with a smooth well adjusted clutch. It even still has its original starting handle. It does have a few small oil leaks as you would expect from a 72 year old engine thats never been apart or rebuilt but nothing major. The tires are also very old but still have plenty of tread and hold air. But I would certainly recommend new tires before regular highway driving. Overall it is a pleasure to drive. I can not emphasize enough how impressive the condition of this truck is and how original it is. All thanks to being owned and maintained by one family it's whole life. And being stored in a dry barn every winter from new. Bid with confidence and feel free to message with any questions. Selling with No Reserve to the highest bidder.

The process of moving the vehicle across the border to North Dakota is taken care of by us and fully paid for by us. You will incur absolutely no further charges above and beyond what you bid for the vehicle.There is certain border paperwork that is necessary for this process and for that we use a professional customs broker by the name of Cole International USA Inc.

These shippers are familiar with us, our inventory and our location. They are also very reasonably priced. If you decide to use an alternative shipper, please make them aware if the vehicle is a 'non-runner' and, therefore, will require a winch for loading and unloading. We are not responsible if you book a shipper who is incapable of loading the vehicle.Due to the nature of what we do, we are often on the road in search of new vehicles, so please be sure to make us aware of your shipping/collection arrangements ahead of time, so that we can arrange to be there to meet you or your shipper.

We started heading North to source these vehicles several years ago due to the severe lack of such vehicles in the US in recent times due to our huge car culture. Most American barn finds have long been found and tampered with by several owners yet North of the border there still seems to be an abundance of good solid original vehicles waiting to be brought back to life.We make these great vehicles available to the US market by importing them into the US and providing all required paperwork to acquire a Clear US Title in your own name in your home State.We also specialize in sourcing Mercury and Fargo trucks and have successfully imported and found new homes for dozens of fine original examples.We are passionate about finding the best that there is and understand that our customers want to see automobiles that have not been tampered with; the more original, the better. Our inventory is regularly updated, as new finds are unearthed. If there is something specific that you are looking for, then let us know and we'd be happy to see if we can help.The business we conduct is straightforward and honest. Whether you're looking for something that's all original, a starting point for a restoration project or solid bones for a custom build, Bison Brothers will deliver.
