When Chevrolet debuted the all new 1941 model pickup with its famous "waterfall grille and detailed design touches throughout, it took truck styling to a whole new level. This wonderful Revell kit from modern-era tooling perfectly captures this historically important pickup. Build her bone stock with stock heads and air cleaner, or spruce her up with the custom engine treatment.

Underhood was Chevy’s tried and true 216.5 cubic inch valve-in-head six cylinder engine. This version of the “Stovebolt” sported redesigned combustion chambers, 6.5:1 compression, and was good for 90 horsepower at 3300 rpm and 174 lbs.-ft. of torque peaking at a burbling 1200-2000 rpm. Standard half-ton ‘41 Chevy trucks rode on a 116-inch wheelbase chassis, with parallel leaf springs and solid front and rear axles with hydraulic-actuated drum brakes all around. Almost all pickups of this vintage drove “like a truck”, with a harsh ride and very few creature comforts, and the ‘41 Chevy was no different. But its striking styling and technological advancements earn it an important place in the evolution of the American pickup truck.
