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.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
