1941 Chevrolet AK Series Pickup (1941-1947)

This 1941 Chevrolet AK Series pickup is a modified example that was acquired by the seller approximately six years ago. Power comes from a fuel-injected 350ci V8 paired with a Turbo-Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission, and the truck features steel bodywork that has been refinished in charcoal gray with black fenders. Additional features include black leather upholstery, a Vintage Air A/C system, Mustang II-spec independent front suspension, power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes, a wood-lined bed, and 20” Coys wheels. This AK-Series pickup is now offered with photos from the build and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name. Previously finished in satin green, the steel bodywork was repainted its current shade of charcoal gray with black fenders in 2019. The bed was lined with replacement wood slats and chrome runners that same year, and the front and rear bumpers were also replaced. Additional exterior features include tinted windows, a windshield visor, LED taillights, and front fog lamps with yellow lenses. Polished 20” Coys wheels are mounted with Nankang tires, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted four-wheel discs with cross-drilled rotors up front. The truck rides lower than stock on Mustang II-spec independent front suspension with power rack-and-pinion steering. The cabin features a bench seat that has been reupholstered in black leather with perforated centers along with matching door panel inserts. The floors are lined with black rubber, and modifications consist of a Vintage Air A/C system, an aftermarket steering wheel, and a Pioneer CD stereo. A custom instrument panel houses white VDO gauges that include a 120-mph speedometer and displays for fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 1,700 miles, around 900 of which have been added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The 350ci V8 features Chevrolet-branded valve covers and is equipped with a FiTech electronic fuel injection system topped by an air cleaner cover reportedly sourced from a Cadillac. Additional equipment consists of an aluminum radiator, a fuel cell mounted under the bed, “shorty” headers, and a dual exhaust system with Flo-Pro mufflers. A handheld controller for the fuel injection system is included in the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Turbo-Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission. Additional underbody images are provided in the gallery below, along with a number of photos taken prior to the repaint.
