Custom ’41 Plymouth PT-125 Hits BringATrailer

Plymouth only built the PT-125 pickup for a short window, and you don’t see many of them on the road today—especially not like this one. Now live on BringATrailer.com, this custom 1941 Plymouth PT-125 blends pre-war styling with a healthy dose of hot-rod attitude, modern updates, and tasteful craftsmanship. Bidding wraps up tomorrow, Wednesday, November 19 at 2:57 p.m. EDT, and this one is shaping up to be a standout for anyone who appreciates old-school Mopar trucks that were built to be driven.

A Pre-War Workhorse Reimagined –

This truck went through a full refurbishment and custom build between 2004 and 2006. Instead of simply restoring it to factory spec, the prior owner decided to give it a more muscular personality—without ditching the vintage charm. The body was refinished in Standox matte gray and decorated with hand-painted pinstriping and lettering, giving it a classic shop-truck vibe. A louvered hood, visored headlights, stacked taillights, and cowl-mounted spotlights keep the pre-war look authentic, while a few imperfections like paint bubbling on the tailgate and a fender hole add a touch of honest character.

Out back, red bedliner material protects the cargo area, and in true hot-rod fashion, a vintage Coca-Cola cooler doubles as the battery box.

Red Wheels, Whitewalls, and a Better Stance –

A classic hot-rod combo—red 16-inch steel wheels, chrome trim rings, and Coker American Classic whitewalls—sets the tone. The front end rides on a Nostalgia Sid’s 3-inch-drop axle with updated kingpins and disc brakes, while the rear retains drum brakes that were refreshed during the build. The stance is low, clean, and period-appropriate.

A Hot-Rodded Flathead That Looks the Part –

Under the hood sits a 240ci flathead inline-six sourced from a ’47 Plymouth. It’s been heavily upgraded with an Edgy finned-aluminum head, Offenhauser intake, dual Speedway Motors 9 Super 7 carburetors, and Fenton headers feeding Smithy’s glasspack mufflers. The setup gives the long-stroke flathead more breathing room, better sound, and that unmistakable vintage hot-rod look.

The truck now runs a 12-volt system with an alternator and electronic ignition for improved reliability. Records show the oil, gaskets, and battery were serviced in 2020.

Modern Drivability with a 700R4 –

One of the smartest upgrades is the 700R4 four-speed automatic installed in 2016 using a Wilcap adapter. Paired with an 8.75-inch rear end and 3.92 gears, it makes this truck far more street-friendly than the original manual setup ever could.

A Custom Cab with Style –

Inside, the cab continues the red theme with painted and upholstered surfaces, black-insert seats, and hand-striped accents throughout. Mopar heater, dome light, dice-themed details, and a billet steering wheel with a brodie knob all blend vintage flair with custom-car fun. A Sun tachometer sits proudly on the dash, complementing the factory 80-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The odometer shows 6,000 miles since the build.

Ready for Its Next Mopar Enthusiast –

Offered on dealer consignment with a clean Idaho title, workshop manual, notes, and records, this PT-125 is a rare mix of pre-war Mopar history and hot-rod personality. If you’re looking for a unique, usable, conversation-starting truck, this one checks every box—and it’s live now on BringATrailer.com.
