Description for Chevrolet Stake Bed 1940

This is one for the haulers, attention getters, and anyone who loves unique vintage trucks. After all, how often do you ever see a 1940 Chevrolet 3/4-ton stake bed on the road anymore? But this two-tone truck is a beautiful and reliable reminder of what an honest day's work really means.Do you have a business to promote or just want to make a splash at car shows? Imagine parking this vintage stake truck at your front door and/or taking up two spaces at an enthusiast event. People will marvel at this Chevy's well presented condition because most of the ones from this era were purchased to be lifelong workhorses. The two-tone green and black has a show-ready shine. We even love how the red accents within the hood's brightwork nicely match with the red steel wheels. But looking great doesn't mean it's retired from getting the job done. The stake sides make a complete pen, and as you peek inside, you'll see nice glossy wood on the flatbed. All of this straight and complete lumber has a cool appearance that tells you it has gone to work but always has been well maintained. That's exactly how you should view this classic pickup. So no matter if you want to put your company's logo on the side, or just want a showpiece to bring your motorcycle, this is your best way to grab some attention.Inside is a cab built for long-lasting function. The vinyl bench seat looks authentic but benefits from a recent re-cover. The door panels and rubber floor mat have a similar authentically reconditioned feeling. It's hard not to love sitting behind the large three-spoke steering wheel and gazing at the Art Deco dash. This one feels period-correct right down to the crank-out windshield and "air conditioner" fan borrowed from a premium GM Buick. When you pop the hood, you'll see a true industrial motor. It's a period-correct 216ci inline-six that helped earn Chevy its reputation for industrial power. And with this restored motor's exceptional clean presentation, you know the right investments were made to make sure this one could still get you to the job site if it wanted to. This one even has nice period-correct options like the oil bath air cleaner, and the very welcomed four-speed manual transmission that was reserved for heavy duty trucks. As expected, this kind of classic engine has a fantastic old truck exhaust note that chugs along like a freight train.So is this one your coolest advertising expense? Best looking hauler out there? Or just an affordable way to have some unique fun? For the right person, the answers to all of these is, "darn right!" So don't miss out, call today!
