click above arrow for video of this 1941 chevy truck barnfind! (if doesnt play, try watching on non mobile device)
I found this 1941 chevy 1/2 ton pick up truck in a barnof a farmer who's plan was to take this body off of the frame which had considerable rust and put it on a s10 chassi and make it a hot rod. He became too old to do any of his own work any longer and decided to sell it to me. I will never forget walking in the barn and seeing it covered in dust and pigeon crap and thinking what a cool patina this would make on a hot rod.
I got it home and noticed that the frame was very rotted, so I had my guys reinforce it so it can be rolled on a trailer etc. The frame in my opinion is not usable. like I said, The body has great patina and would be a great start for any rat rod or hot rod. Notice the cool vintage writing on the doors!
It is a complete 1/2 ton truck with the engine and trans. The engine was not free. The original seat is there as pictured. The guages and dash are all there and the window glass is there for the windshield and side windows as pictured. The rear glass is missing. The bed has a sheet of plywood in it. The body on this truck looks very vintage and had some rust areas and dents etc,look at the pics and video to get a idea of the overall condition of it as i focused on any larger stuff I saw.Definitely in my opinion a great start for a hot rod etc or bring it back to its old glory. The wheels do roll and the tires are old. The front wheels do turn with the steering wheel. This truck comes with a bill of sale only and has the data tag, numbers etc. strong>
