1942 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 1500 base Additional Info:
Up for auction hard to find 1942 chevy pickup half ton. Overall this truck is very clean and in nice shape for its age. It runs very good and goes down the road just fine. I have put all new brakes, brake lines, master cylinder,cleaned thegas tank, put in new lines, rebuilt carburetorI have a clear title for it. The body has dents and wear but I think everything is definitely usable for sure. All together a very nice complete truck I know these trucks are super rare and hard to find.

The longer wheelbase was used to provide the driver with additional legroom and the seat back was reclined to a more comfortable angle. The seat cushion and back were also improved for better comfort and longer life through the use of more springs and additional cotton padding.
| The new half-ton was built on a 115-inch wheelbase. Body offerings included a pickup, panel, canopy and Suburban. The 3/4-ton had a 125 1/4-inch | |
| wheelbase and included a pickup, platform, stake and panel bodies. The one-ton series (now designated as medium-duty models) had the long 134 1/2-inch wheelbase and included a pickup, panel, canopy and stake. The automobile based Commercial cars, the Sedan Delivery, Coupe-Pickup and wooden-bodied Station Wagon also continued. | Chevrolet pickup's styling during the Art-Deco Era didn't change to my knowledge. The 1942 models like this 1942 half-ton pickup's body trim had paint in place of chrome, however. The truck shown is all-original and has only been driven a total of 9,000 miles. |
The 1942 Chevrolet pickups were essentially unchanged from 1941. Because America entered World War II in December 1941 the government halted all civilian truck production early in 1942. Chevrolet ceased building civilian models on January 30, 1942. Rationing of commercial vehicles commenced | |
| on March 9, 1942. |
