Vehicle Description
For consignment, an unbelievable fully restored example of a 1928 Chevrolet AB National Huckster truck from which to sell your "goods". It is all in excellent condition, is a snappy two tone black and green with lime accenting artillery style steel wheels, and full canvas rear bed side wall coverings. Sell sell sell!
Exterior
A steel hood, radiator cowl, body, and bumpers are bathed in a beautiful coat of shiny green that is well applied. Black paint covers the curved fenders and running boards as well as the dual bar bumpers front and rear. A two seat cab with a small rectangular rear glass section prior to the bed is noted. The roofline extends from the front windscreen to totally covering the bed. The bed sides are steel and the base is green shiny painted wood planks and these are in unused condition. Steel bars extend upward from the inner corners of the back of the bed next to the tailgate. These support the covering of the roof and bed. Here we have a like new canvas top to keep your goods and sundries safe during transport. This canvas also presents itself on the sides and back so the bed and goods within can be totally covered. 21-inch lime green total steel artillery styled wheels are on all 4 corners and are wrapped in like new 4.40/4.50-21 rubber. There is a spare tire attached to the passenger's side.
Interior
A newly refurbished and wrapped in black vinyl bench seat runs the width of the cab resting atop a box style mount. To the sides are the door panels covered in simple black smooth vinyl and the dash is steel, framed by some lime green paint on the upper dash with a nice curve. I nside this dash is an oval aluminum panel that houses a trio of oval instruments in perfect condition. Varnished pine wraps the original steering wheel, and s with throttle and spark advance . Rubber flooring has been installed, and the interior roof, (headliner), of the cab is green painted steel which turns to vinyl/canvas for the bed. Very nicely restored, all in nearly perfect condition.
Drivetrain
Under the vented green painted cowled hood is a pristine fully restored 171ci inline 4 cylinder. It has a 1-barrel carburetor to feed it, and a 3-speed manual transmission on the back. The rear axle weighs in at 4.18. All fully functional, and looking good.
Undercarriage
A showpiece if you will with no rust or even road dirt. All painted black steel mixes with green painted wood for the undercarriage. Here we see leaf springs on each corner, and mechanical drum brakes on all 4 corners as well. A single clean rust free exhaust is wiring its way from front to rear.
Drive-Ability
This truck fired right up and off to the test track where it did very well. Smooth acceleration, good handling and easy steering despite it being manual. The brakes drag just a bit but it still stops on a dime. All functions were operating as they should but I could not get the headlights to work.
For a truck collector, this truck is an excellent example of a truly rare find. A truck with a covered bed and canvas sides form. Many AB models were constructed in 1928, but very few were in Huckster trucks with bed form. A great promo piece, advertising your business, or just a fun driver, fully working to take you out to a show on the weekends. All the work has been done!
