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.
