1937 Chevrolet Pickup truck, original engine & trans., only 15k original miles!
1937 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 1500 truck
1937 Chevy Pickup ½ ton truck, original 6 cylinder engine with the factory manual 3-speed transmission and only 15,462 original miles!!! This extremely original 37 Chevy pickup was actually an original factory GM furniture store truck used at Wilberton’s Furniture in Beaver Falls, PA and was used until 1940 and was then taken out of service and garage kept until the early 1980’s. The pickup was then gone through from top to bottom, painted, restored and kept very original and correct to take to local shows and cruises! Since then it has always had the best of maintenance, store in a heated garage and driven around 2k miles since the 1980’s. It has always been a rust free truck and still has all of it’s original sheet metal. This is an extremely rare find that is in excellent running and driving condition. I have not found one advertised anywhere this original, with complete history, low miles and being in this nice of shape!!! This fine 37 Chevy provides an excellent example of an all purpose pickup for shows, cruises and cruising!
PAINT, BODY AND FRAME
The body, paint and panels are very straight and in extremely nice shape! The floor boards, doors, fenders, cab and bed have always been rust free and are original to the truck. When you look very close to all the detail on this pickup you will see how original and correct it is. The bottom inside edges of the doors are spotless and look fantastic! The frame is in excellent shape and the undercarriage is also very clean and neat with no rust. The beautiful black enamel paint was done around 1985 and looks absolutely beautiful! There are only a couple flaws in the paint and overall it is in extremely nice condition. The are a couple spots from glazing putty over time that looks like a several small blisters on the very front side of the front fenders and 1 small light scuff mark (quarter size) on the drivers side front fender. I have photo’s of these on the extra picture link below. All in all the paint is very nice and only if you would want to make it absolutely perfect would I recommend painting/blending in the front fenders!!! I am also very picky and critical, as well as honest so please do not hesitate to call me as I will be glad to discus every detail with you on the phone! Please call me at 412- 496- 1439 with any questions.
GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM
The glass is in very nice original condition for factory glass! The windshield opens out from the bottom and is also in very nice shape. The front and rear original bumpers have been re-chromed from one of the best in the business (Paul’s Chrome Plating in Mars, PA) and are in excellent condition. The original door handles (inside and out), hood ornament and headlight rings were also re-chromed at Paul’s. The very nice front grill is a newer reproduction stainless piece. The wooden planks in the bed have been replaced but the bed strips are original to the truck.
INTERIOR
The very original interior is in super nice shape and looks fantastic! The original seats have been reupholstered and look excellent. The headliner is still the factory original one and looks great. The dash cluster is in very nice condition and all factory gauges work and operate correctly. All lighting works as should including headlights, tail light, gauges and Hi/Low beams. The original E-brake even works excellent! The under the dash wiring is in perfect condition.
DRIVE TRAIN
The excellent smooth running original 6 cylinder engine has never been apart and runs/drives beautiful!!! Just installed a new fuel pump and new battery in January 2020.
The manual 3-speed transmission is in great shape and shifts nicely through the gears. It is an absolute blast to drive and you will not be disappointed! The pickup has excellent drivability and cools well even in stop and go traffic.
SUSPENSION, BRAKES AND WHEELS
The suspension has a front straight axle and front/rear leaf sprigs.All the brakes have been checked over and adjusted. It has newer brake pads (front and rear), rebuilt wheel cylinders and has excellent original factory drums. The beautiful 6.00-16 Coker tires are around 7 years old and are mounted on the original steel wheels.
