1936 Chevrolet Low Cab Truck - 1.5 Ton Dually with 9' Stake Body

This 1936 Chevrolet Low Cab Truck is a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully restored pre-war Chevrolet dually that combines originality, character, and strong mechanical condition. Equipped with its original 207ci Stove bolt inline 6-cylinder engine rated at 79 horsepower, 4-speed manual transmission, and original 1.5-ton dual-wheel chassis, this truck remains true to its heritage while benefiting from extensive restoration and maintenance work.

Originally a Southwestern Pennsylvania farm truck, it remained in service until 1969 and was then stored in a garage until 2021. Showing approximately 55,000 original miles, it still retains its original paint and pinstriping on the cab and body, along with its original interior paint and gauges. The result is an exceptionally authentic truck with remarkable presence and originality.

Over the course of a five-year project, this truck was carefully restored to its current excellent condition. Purchased as a project to complete with my father, it has now reached the point where everything is finished and functioning as it should. It is being offered for sale only because he is no longer able to drive it.
