The Chevrolet AK Series truck was a light duty truck sold under the Chevrolet brand, with production beginning in 1941 until 1947. It used the GM A platform, shared with the Chevrolet Deluxe. The AK series was also branded and sold at GMC locations, with the primary visual difference being the Chevrolet had vertical bars in the grille, while the GMC had horizontal bars. The 1941-45 GMC models were sold as C-Series and became the E-Series for the 1946 and 1947 model years. The AK series represented an appearance split from previous Chevrolet products where the passenger cars and pickup trucks shared a common appearance, as demonstrated in the Chevrolet Master truck. The Chevrolet Deluxe was an all-new appearance when it was introduced in 1941, and shared much of its mechanicals with the third generation Chevrolet Suburban. Features of this pro restored panel truck include : It has a 216 cubic incline 6 cylinder, 4 speed manual transmission, Apple Green exterior with black fenders, Fulton sun shade, single side mount spare, rear fender skirts, headlight covers, vintage under dash AM radio, under dash heater, 15 inch painted artillery wheels with Chevy hubcaps, wide white wall tires, wood bed, roll out windshield, and a vintage 1946 California license plate. The panel trucks were utilized for deliveries, commercial use, and as work vehicles. This example is in prime condition and like all panel trucks are a footnote in the history of American creativity. Thanks for viewing.
