The 1947 Chevy Half Ton Collector Truck

The 1947 Chevy Half Ton is a milestone vehicle with plenty of collector interest. It is often referred to as one of the most recognized and most sought after pickup trucks ever built. The model kicked off the Advance Design Series which lasted into the mid 1950’s. Chevrolet was able to introduce a new post war model truck quicker than others because of styling work done just prior to the war.
