In 1947 GM introduced the Advance Design series of trucks which they sold through the 55 model year. It was GM's first major redesign post World War II and was billed as a bigger, stronger and sleeker design. Apart from some functional changes to the 49s, the 48-49 Chevrolet trucks were nearly identical to the 47s. Since the frame-mounted fuel tank interfered with certain body types Chevrolet moved it inside the cab on pickups and they also added X-bracing to the radiator support frame, reinforced the bottom of the radiator and added cross braces to the hood in 1949. This particular example was exported to Jalisco, Mexico in 1977 where it stayed until 2013. It was restored in the late 80’s at which time the truck had less than 70,000 original miles. During the restoration its original 216 ci 6 cylinder engine was completely rebuilt and odometer was reset to zero. It currently shows 6,339 miles which is the total mileage since being restored. It was restored to be as original as possible with the exception of being converted to a 12 volt electrical system. Everything is working as it should and it is a pleasure to drive. We would classify this as #2 vehicle and would appraise it at $29,550 accordingly. We know that it is still a buyers market and have priced this truck aggressively for a quick sale. If you could see yourself cruising in this timeless classic you better get a hold of us before it’s too late! For more pictures and a video of the engine visit: HotRodsChoppers.com SOLD
