Leif in Calif Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Very usable vehicle, the price is high but not crazy. Couldn't they pull it out to take the pictures? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/santa-rosa-1940-chevy-2ton-pickup-truck/7578180059.html Solid rust free 1940 Chevrolet pick up truck. 235 CI six cyl. with exhaust headers. new boards in truck bed. runs good. must see to appreciate and I will wash it before you take it home, been sitting so it is just a little dusty. email: 0020e13497c3341190dbba527c47bd3f@sale.craigslist.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I'm a little suspect of the exhaust headers. Other than that it looks like a good solid vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthcranbrook Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I can’t help but wonder what the discount is for buying it dirty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I am a truck fan, I subscribe to Vintage Truck magazine, but truck sellers are doing the same thing as car sellers in this post-pandemic inflation fueled market = adding $9,000 or more to what they would normally ask. Hand painted? Seriously? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 From what can be seen it looks like a solid old truck. Would be a nice driver as is. Might be priced a bit high but not outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be priced a bit high but not outrageous. It is priced way high. I can save 15-20 of these a day on facebook marketplace in better or the same condition for $3,000 to $7,500, and most of those are not selling at those prices. Most GM, Ford, and Mopar trucks are well supported by a few catalogs and specialty firms. When I look at a truck project, I am looking for a low rust or surface rust only cab - most beds are available from a catalog. I am looking for completeness. I am looking for a restorable grille, and even then you can often get a repop grille. In the case of the Chevy's up to 1953, the Stovebolts with unpressurized 6 cylinders are almost throwaways to me. I had a 1948 Chevy Suburban (wish I still had it) and I bought a full oil pressure late 50's Chevy motor for it. Looks "very" similar so reliable performance was more important to me.

TAKerry Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just for the sake of argument (assuming the ad is correct and this truck runs), Please point me in the direction of the other 1940 running pickups with an asking price of 3k-7k. I will buy everyone. In my area rust bucket 1980 pickup trucks sell for that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
