I purchased a 1937 chev pick up from a chap who had recently moved to a rest home. He bought the truck in 1947 and it was his only car til he sold it to me.
the truck has canadian id tags on it but it is Right hand drive so maybe assembled here in New Zealand.
The truck had a warrant of fitness 2009 but I currently have it in bits
This is my first project!

Loved the pull handles on the inside of the door. The lower edge of the window surround. Just enough room for 2 people. Glad you joined!

Is your '37 a steel cab or the wooden framed colonial one?
Did you get the oil line issue sorter?
