Description for Plymouth Pickup 1939

Yep, ou're seeing that correctly, his is indeed a Plymouth pickup truck. In the early days of motoring, lmost every automaker offered some kind of commercial vehicle, nd this handsome 1939 Plymouth pickup is not only an unusual find, ut also nicely updated with V8 power and modern suspension, ll without losing its old-fashioned look.Old pickups always look best in basic Hunter Green, o when this one was going together, hat's what they used. They didn't try for a two-tone look, ecause by 1939, obody was doing black fenders anymore, nd the rounded curves of this neat little pickup show quite well with the bright color. Fit and finish is very good, nd you know that it's original steel because reproduction parts for this particular truck are practically non-existent. There wasn't much chrome or brightwork on the truck when it was first built, nd things like the grille, umper, nd even the windshield frame are all painted to match the body and the monochromatic look suits this Plymouth just fine. A few bright pieces remain, ncluding the headlight rings, ood ornament, oor handles, nd the cool Plymouth script on the grille. A custom rear roll pan with built-in LED taillights gives it a clean look, nd the bed is beautifully finished with an oak floor, ustom stake sides, nd a built-in "trunk" that houses the gas tank.Big improvements are found inside, here the original vinyl bench has been replaced by comfortable gray fabric that was stitched in a period pleated style. Full carpets, atching door panels, nd even pleated trim on the cab's rear bulkhead helps make it feel luxurious inside, ot basic. A GM tilt column is an easy fit and offers a fat three-spoke steering wheel and there's a stubby T-handle shifter on the floor for the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. The dash is as it was when it left the factory, till filled with original gauges that cover the basics. You'll note the brake and throttle pedals are on opposite sides of the steering column rather than all jammed together on one side or the other, o this truck is comfortable even on long hauls. There is no radio, o heat, o defrost, ut this truck is hardly an uncomfortable place to spend some time.To Mopar fans, he 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 under the hood might seem blasphemous, ut it's hard to argue with the easy service, lentiful parts, nd smooth torque that make the small block V8 famous. It's got all the usual upgrades, ncluding an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold, ooker headers, nd plenty of chrome (this is a hot rod, fter all), nd it looks right under the Plymouth's pointed hood. A big aluminum radiator has no problem keeping it cool and the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission always seems to find the right gear. There's a 10-bolt rear end hanging on original leaf springs in back, ugmented by traction bars that are a good idea in a lightweight pickup truck like this. Glasspack-style mufflers add a great cackle to the exhaust and use neat tips that poke through the rear valence. Traditional Cragar mags have a period feel and carry 195/60/15 front and 215/65/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A radials.A neat find for the guy who appreciates the unusual, his Plymouth pickup has a lot to offer. It's stylish, ractical, nd surprisingly quick, ll things that make it endearing to us today. Call now!
