Description: The 1928 Chevrolet AB National Truck represents an early chapter in automotive history, built during a time when vehicles were engineered for durability, simplicity and function.

As part of Chevrolet’s AB National range, these trucks played a key role in supporting industry and agriculture, becoming reliable workhorses across both the United States and Australia. Today, surviving examples are increasingly rare and highly regarded for their historical significance and unmistakable vintage character.

This particular vehicle has been fully restored by its previous owner and was regularly driven to vintage car club events, showcasing both its usability and the quality of the restoration. It is fitted with a 2.8L 4-cylinder engine and 3-speed manual transmission, offering an authentic driving experience true to the era.

Finished in classic green and black, the truck retains period-correct features including wooden spoke split rims — with 12-spoke fronts and 6-spoke rears — adding to its visual appeal and originality.

While the vehicle is reported to run and drive, it has not been recently tested, with its last known use in 2021. It operates on a 6-volt electrical system, consistent with vehicles of this era.

With club registration valid until November 10th, 2026, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully restored vintage truck with proven history in club use — ideal for collectors, displays or vintage motoring enthusiasts.

Buyer FAQs – How Our Auctions Work

How do I place a bid?

To place a bid, simply register for an account on our website. Once logged in, you can enter your bid amount directly on the item listing page. You’ll be notified if you’ve been outbid so you can place another.

Is there a buyer’s premium?

Yes. A buyer’s premium applies to all lots and is clearly listed on each item page. This is added to the final hammer price.

What is an ‘Elite Auction’?

Items listed as part of our Elite Auctions have undergone a 100-point inspection by a qualified mechanic. A detailed condition report is included with the listing to give buyers transparency and confidence. This only applies to items stamped with the Elite badge.

Can I inspect the item before bidding?

Some items listed with Mil & Co Auctions are available for inspection. If an inspection is available, this will be clearly stated in the listing. To arrange an inspection, you must contact our team via phone or email to book a time.

We encourage buyers to inspect items where possible, as all sales are final and no refunds are provided.

What happens if I win the auction?

If you’re the highest bidder at auction close and the reserve has been met, you’ll receive an email with a payment summary and next steps. You’ll then be required to make payment within the specified timeframe (usually within 48 hours).
If the reserve has not been met, your bid will be referred to the vendor for consideration. We will contact you shortly after the auction to advise whether the sale has been approved.

What does it mean if an item is ‘referred’?

If bidding ends and the reserve price hasn’t been met, the item is referred to the vendor. This means the vendor will review the highest bid and decide whether to accept, reject, or negotiate the offer. We will contact the highest bidder after the auction with the outcome.

How do I pay for my item?

After close of sale, you will receive an invoice that contains all payment instructions.

When do I get the item?

Once full payment has been received and cleared, you’ll receive a confirmation email. All items must be collected within 48 business hours unless other arrangements have been made with our team.

Can I get a quote for repairs or transport?

Yes. For Elite Auctions, inspection reports can be used to get third-party quotes for any repairs. For transport quotes, please contact us and we can connect you with one of our trusted providers.

What if I have questions about the item?

Each listing includes detailed descriptions and photos. If you still have questions, our team is happy to help — just give us a call or send an email and quote the listing number so we can assist you quickly.
