1947 Chevrolet Loadmaster 3800 truck. Advance Design trucks were offered in different several models, identified by a four-digit number displayed on both sides of the hood. Half-ton trucks were 3100 series, with 3/4 ton trucks getting a 3600 designation. Chevy's 216-cid straight-six motor was retained, receiving only minor engine improvements. The carburetor accelerator pump was moved into the float bowl to keep the leather piston wet, and to help cold-engine driveability, the hand-choke activated a carb-mounted fast-idle cam. Older, ream-fit main bearings were replaced with the modern precision-type. Was an Active Food truck until we recently moved into a storefront. Great truck, starts, runs, active driver truck. Can send videos of truck driving down highway, engine running etc. we do have the original side panels and will include with sale.
