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.
