This Chevrolet Advance Design Pickup (1947-1955) got away, but there are more like it here.

350-Powered 1947 Chevrolet Pickup

Sold for $42,000 on 6/16/23

This 1947 Chevrolet stepside pickup is said to have been acquired by the seller in 1988, and subsequent refurbishment work completed from 2013 through 2018 involved installing a replacement 350ci V8 and a three-speed automatic transmission along with replacing the tailgate and right quarter panel, refinishing the truck in yellow, reupholstering the interior in black vinyl, and fitting a 1960-style frame. Additional equipment includes 16″ steel wheels, front disc brakes, a wood-lined bed floor, running boards, a heater, lap belts, and a Custom Autosound retro-look stereo. This Advance Design pickup is offered with an assembly manual, service records, and a Washington State title in the seller’s name.

The truck was disassembled and fitted with a replacement tailgate and right quarter panel to correct rust concerns before the body was repainted in yellow and reportedly fitted over a 1960 Chevrolet pickup frame. Equipment includes a wood-lined bed floor with polished metal runners along with a split windshield, a pop-up cowl vent, Thriftmaster badging, running boards, and chrome trim, side mirrors, and bumpers. The seller notes that the vacuum-operated windshield wipers operate slowly. Electric-powered windshield wiper components are included in the sale.

Steel 16″ wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 225/60 Goodyear Eagle Sport tires with 2013 production date codes. Stopping power is provided by front disc brakes that were added under current ownership, while drums are retained at the rear.

The cab features a bench seat trimmed in black vinyl upholstery joined by gray-finished metal surfaces, while the door panels are fitted with gray and black inserts. Interior equipment includes a retro-look Custom Autosound push-button radio, a heater, a lockable glovebox, lap belts, black carpets, and Bowtie-branded rubber floor mats. The fuel tank was relocated inside the cab.

The three-spoke steering wheel is fitted with a spinner knob and fronts a Classic Instruments 140-mph speedometer and a combination gauge for engine temperature, fuel level, voltage, and oil pressure. The odometer shows 1,100 miles, and an estimated 5k miles were added during the past 35 years. Total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 350ci V8 crate engine was reportedly installed in 2018 and is fitted with an MSD ignition system, “ram-horn” exhaust manifolds, and a bright-finished air cleaner cover and valve covers. An oil change was performed in May 2023.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission that is said to have been fitted in 2018. The dual exhaust system is equipped with aftermarket mufflers.

The State of Washington assigned identification number is shown above and matches the VIN printed on the Washington title. The title is listed as a duplicate and carries a Classic brand.
