Prewar chevy? I’m gonna guess ‘37.

My father in law had a 39 chevy. Looks very similar. I recall he told me that 37 or 38 to 41 were unchanged. Then production stopped for the war.

He died about 9 years ago and the truck just sat in his barn. I finally convinced my MIL to sell if a few months ago. I think she got about $9,000. I think she could have done a touch better but not much. It was in great shape but probably deteriorated a bit.

Yep - ‘37. I’m running a ‘57 straight-six coupled to a 700R4 automatic (I got tired of searching for antique transmissions). I put a Camaro axle with 355 gears in it so it behaves on the freeway.

Lot’s o fun ;’}
