Jim Krotzer of Poulsbo, Washington, is the owner of this unusual, impressive, and un-chopped 1937 Chevy Pickup that you may well mistake for a 1936 Chevy pickup. “I was looking for a ’36,” Krotzer explained. “But I found a ’37, so I just said that I’d make it into a ’36!”

Krotzer put a fiberglass grill shell, fenders, and running boards on the truck, but when he did, he used the parts that would have gone on the ’36. This almost subtle custom touch gave him the look that he wanted without making him do the extra searching to find the year of truck he wanted. It’s amazing what people can do with a little ingenuity, a lot of willpower, and a lack of the right parts! Or in this case, a lack of the correct year truck.

Krotzer started the build in 1986 and finished it eleven years later in 1997. It now has power steering, power brakes, and the independent front suspension out of a Mustang. “This was the first one that I build,” Krotzer explained. “And it is the one that I kept.”

This custom ride is powered by an unusual drivetrain that really piqued our interest. The engine is a 3.8 liter V6 out of a Buick and it’s powered by a pair of Weber 44IDAS3 carburetors! With an automatic transmission, 2.73:1 geared rearend out of a Nova, and an upgraded dash using Auto Meter gauges, this truck was meant for more than just looks.
