I recently purchased a 1937 Chevy 1.5 Ton LWB from my neighbor I never knew he had. It looks to have spent most of its life in barns of NH. And was professionally restored sometime around 2005 by a collector/enthusiast that has since passed. It appears to be all original except with a 12v battery. I've yet to determine if it's been fully converted from 6v to 12v. Has the original 216 / 4spd /10lug running gear and shows 10,500 on the Odo. I did drive it about a mile and hit 40mph and checked braking before buying. All seems ok. Drove it home after purchase and then flatbedded/towed it to my dad's barn an hour away from me. I'm now really putting a light to everything and find the only rust is on the lower radiator mount and It is leaking radiator fluid. Looks like I'll be putting a radiator in soon-(any suggestions)? Truck is a solid 8 out of 10. I already have dibs on a running 235 from a 55 Chevy 1ton and possibly both, yes both a GMC 270 AND 302.. now attempting to find a SM420. If I keep this beautiful truck, I really want to drive it on nice days and want to preserve the original drivetrain. So toying with pulling the 216 and storing in the corner of the barn.
She's a little dirty from being outside and having curious onlookers crawl all over it when my neighbor had it for sale in his front yard/restaurant parking lot.
Any other Big Bolt owners in the Northeast?
