Does anyone have info on typical prices a buyer in 1937 would have paid for a 1937 Chevy 1/2 ton truck with the option of a 4 speed tranny? Thanks in advance. 37Blue

Blue,

A book I just happen to have right next to me at the moment doesn't have any truck prices, '37 or otherwise.

But, it does have the car's prices listed. The car prices range from the low of $619 for a Master 2 passenger Business Coupe to the high of $788 for a Master Deluxe 5 passenger Sport Sedan.

I suppose a 1/2 ton would be in the same range. Hope this helps til somebody comes up with the "exact" number....

Bill.

The factory Delivered prices are listed in the front of the parts book. I'll list a few here:
1937 Half ton "GC" 112" Wheelbase
Chassis = $360
Cab & Chassis = $450
Open Express = $475
Panel = $575
Canopy Express = $560
Suburban Carryall = $685


122¼" Wheelbase ¾ Ton "GD" and 1 Ton "GE"
Chassis $430 $465
Cab & Chassis 525 560
Open Express 565 600
Panel (Not Listed in 1937)
Stake 600 635


(I consider the 127" wheelbase taxi - Limo a passenger car even tho it is technically a ¾ ton sedan.)

131½" Wheel base Single rear wheel "SA" Dual "SB"
Cab & Chassis $590 $610
Utility Express (Not Listed)
Panel 765 (Not Listed)
Canopy Express 755 (Not Listed)
Stake (Not Listed) 780

157" WB Single "SC" "SD"
Cab $615 $635
Stake (Not Listed) 750

I haven't listed several utility prices.

Thanks guys. I checked my copy of the master parts catalog (1929-1950 edition) and didn't find the info. The table must be in an earlier edition of the book.
