Chevrolet's first light truck series modern pickup era began in 1937. It shared styling traits with its passenger cars and featured a redesigned cab offering improved driver comfort and convenience with instruments and controls clustered for ease of use.
This 1937 Chevy half-ton pickup is in overall very good condition. It sat with only occasional starting for nearly 20 years inside a shed. Powered by a liquid-cooled, six-cylinder, in-line, cast-iron, overhead valve engine displacing 216.5 cubic inches, it features GM's "Blue Flame" combustion chamber design. The owners have also added a fan with a switch shown in the picture on the left side of the dash to help cool the engine. The windshield opens to provide ventilation for the passenger compartment.
The engine drives the rear wheels through a manual transmission offering 3 forward speeds and 1 reverse w/synchronous meshing 2nd and 3rd gears, connected to the engine by a single-plate dry cutch. The transmission connects to the semi-floating rear drive axle via s steel drive shaft. It has an 18 gallon fuel capacity and a 6-volt negative-ground electrical system powered by an on-board generator.
It has a steel frame and 5 cross members, with a steel cab and bed attached to the frame. Front suspension is a steel I-beam, solid axle with a semi-elliptic, leaf spring at each end. The rear axle also hangs from semi-elliptic leaf springs at each end. The chassis has a single-acting hydraulic shock absorber at each wheel, a manual worm-and-sector steering gear and 4-wheel manual hydraulic drum brakes.
While there are a couple things you might want to upgrade, this is an overall good looking, good running truck!
