We go look at a 1946 Chevrolet truck that is up for sale. I decide to buy it and bring it back to my workshop on the farm!

I'm shocked to see how well this truck has lasted over that much time.

Quite amazing yes. It spent its whole life in a desert area with little rust

Looking forward to a complete build series. I'm surprised it isn't a dually.

Hey Div. That's a cool old truck. My 1940 Buick has the same rear shocks. They are some kind of hydraulic. I haven't done anything with mine yet. I will be working on mine this winter. Your truck will be a fun build. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

What a beauty ! Your truck is definitely a 46 or 47 . I don't believe any non-military trucks were produced during the WW2 years , and the Chevy truck body style changed in 48. I would guess your truck is what we call in the states a 2 ton. The inline 6 is probably a 216 Babbitt rod engine. If you don't know what that is I would have you look it up for a better explanation than I can provide. I had a 49 Chevy 1/2 ton when I was a kid. It had a 216 and was not worth overhauling so I dropped in a 235 inline 6 with actual rod bearings from a 62 truck. What a great score you made !!!!!!! And Dude , your wife is on board with it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info! According to the little info I could find on Google thus far, this body style was produced 41 - 47 and the next body style 47 - 55. So in 1947 you got both designs! I thought it safer to call it a 46 to avoid confusion. When I first Googled 1947 Chevy, the pictures all looked different to what I have. I find it quite amazing that a RHD version was built back then. Ja, I was astounded when the wife showed me the ad! At other times she moans that I collect too much junk...😆

Hay man how's it going , me again from Missouri. I saw her in an other vido and now I find out that she is a twin to mine. So what you have is an early 1947, 1 1/2 ton . Normal production was resumed 1946 but was a new body in '47 so the left over parts were used up in early '47. So she is one of the very last production truck to have-- crank out windshield, split hood and the external headlights. You have a good find there and just think with air bags, power steering and new drivetrain you could handle that road of yours. well I will get off my soap box and let you get back to work , that's what I'm late for. Thank god I am the boss ..Have a great day.

Hey Shane! Great info, thanks. I love that truck man! For now she's just safely parked inside my shop, but will get going on it one day...
