The year 2027 sounds so futuristic to me, yet it’s just about here. Before we know it, we’ll be at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale kicking off the new year with some incredible classics. Our Pick of the Day, a 1937 GMC T-14 Truck, is going to turn 90 years old in the coming year. It is currently listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Huntington Beach, California.
The light-duty GMC T-14 pickup was styled by Harley Earl’s team with classic Art Deco design. It shared a platform with Chevrolet’s “Master” trucks, but it was positioned as a slightly costlier commercial vehicle. For decades, trucks from the 1930s have served as popular platforms for customization, and this restomod has a lot of fresh tricks up its sleeve indeed.
The cab has been chopped by four inches, and the body rides on a Chevrolet S-10 frame. Come to think of it, probably very few nuts or bolts are original to the 1937 assembly.
Exterior features include Viper Red paint, antenna, dual side mirrors, custom taillights, and staggered five-spoke chrome wheels. The bed is lined with white oak planks and stainless-steel hardware. The seller says the truck has “Done well in shows — Fallbrook, San Juan Capistrano, Chino Corn Feed, Ruby’s Diner, as well as local car shows around the Inland Empire.”
The interior is equipped with tan vinyl bucket seats, lap belts, Vintage Air A/C, tilt steering wheel, power steering, and manual-crank windows. The odometer in the aftermarket gauges shows 11,800 miles.
Under the side-opening hood is a 350ci small-block V-8 mated to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission.
The truck’s underside itself is a work of art that most people will never get to see. It features a ceramic-coated dual exhaust system and a pair of Flowmaster mufflers with outlets just forward of the rear tires. Be sure to check out the seller’s minute-long YouTube video showing the truck’s exterior, interior, and rhythmic exhaust note. Wilwood power disc brakes up front add an element of safety.
If you act soon, you’ll have the chance to own this 1937 GMC T-14 Truck and celebrate its 90th birthday in style very soon — asking price is $42,000 or best offer.
