Chevrolet Other Pickups 1946 Description
I recently bought another truck to build so I'm going to sell this one. I bought this about 3 years ago from one of my good buddies I grew up with. Him and his dad were GM certified mechanics that started this truck and theres pictures back from when it was started on as a bare frame to body work etc and the book of pictures with all the receipts for building it come with the truck. Its neat to see it from the beginning and have pictures to show people. Since he worked at the chevy dealership here in our town they gave him a good deal and he ordered a BRAND NEW LS FUEL-INJECTED V8 and all the GM brakets,hardware,compressor,power-steering pump,and etc because he wanted it all GM. I have the receipts for when they purchased the motor from GM also. Just the motor and all the stuff with it was over 10k and they installed a NEW PAINLESS WIRING HARNESS so all the lights,blinkers and etc work great. His dad rebuilt a turbo 400 automatic and put it in but when I bought it I ordered a NEW 4L60E OVER-DRIVE from the same dealership here in our town and put it in about 1,000 miles ago and it runs so smooth going down the highway! At 70 mph it runs around 1400 RPM's which is great for fuel mileage and they put a highway gear in it for mileage so it runs excellent and is very quick. They put a new Heidts mustang 2 frontend on the original frame and DISC BRAKES in the front and installed a GM rear axle out of a monte carlo with leif springs and rear sway bar for stability. I just had ALL NEW STAINLESS DUAL EXHAUST that gave it a nice smooth sound and is much better now when driving. They put all new expensive ALUMINUM RADIATOR,AC CONDENSOR,TRANNY COOLER in the truck and did a beautiful job installing everything. When we did the over drive I had ITP build me a new drive shaft with all new u-joints so it turns smooth as well. The truck now has 6051 miles on the new SHARK STAINLESS SPEEDO CLUSTER but the new over-drive was put in appx 4800 miles or so its brand new with a receipt and GM WARRANTY!!! I had my buddy who owns a interior shop go all out with the inside and the leather and stitch work turned out amazing and he nailed it going over the headliner and roof section as well. Everything in the inside was redone including a custom seat, Pioneer Cd Player,new speakers in the floor kick panels and behind the seat. They also did a NEW ELECTRIC WINDOW KIT that works perfect and pop locks instead of doorhandles which can be changed but I left it because they already had done everything and put a NEW VINTAGE AIRCONDITIONG in it that blows ice cold and the heater will burn you out. Truck has a GM tilt steering column in it with a Grant woodgrain steering wheel and a new STAINLESS LOKAR SHIFTER and LOKAR GAS PEDAL. The windows are tinted but the driver side window has a little bitty crack on the bottom front corner which you can barely see and has been there a while but they are only 35.99 to replace just never got around to it, both windows role up and down great. They installed a NEW WINDSHEILD and rubbers for front and rear. The bed has a NEW STAINLESS OAK BED KIT with all the chrome strips that was put in 4 years ago and turned out great. When I bought it basically everything was done mechanically it just needed paint,interior and rims so I wanted to keep the original rim look and found a company that made them but now in a 17x9 which rides 10 times better and fits the fenders much cleaner on a set of Federal 275/40/17's. The truck has a 2 inch drop spindle on the front and blocks to lower in rear so its a daily driver with no tricks just turn the key and go. We painted it about a year ago and it turned out great. I wanted to go with something close to a original paint code but found a close color that had a lot of metallic and pearl in the blue and found a black pearl metallic for the fenders,head lights and running boards so now it looks like a updated color that it turned out beautiful and the body is lazer straight. This is a all steel body truck except the rear fenders were added because they wanted a 2 inch wider fender on the rear so it would look better with the wide front fenders so they did some high dollar brand of custom fiberglass rear fenders and I agree it looks much better with wider rear fenders. Since Its a driver it might have a few little bitty scratches or 1 little bitty ding but nothing that I would touch, or if you wanted you could buff them out, this truck looks great and everyone loves it everywhere you go. The best part about it is that it was built my really smart GM mechanics that took thousands of hours taking down to the frame and building it up I just had to make it pretty and ad a overdrive and exhaust. You can drive this truck everyday anywhere and sell your new high dollar payment truck or car, this truck has a GM CRATE LS V8,FUELINJECTION,OVER-DRIVE,DISC BRAKES,AIR-CONDITIONING,ELECTRIC WIPERS,WINDOWS BASICALLY YOUR GETTING A NEW PICK UP WITH A 46 BODY ON IT DRIVE IT EVERYWHERE GETTING 22 MPG!!!The only thing I can think of thatsomeone might want to ad is a cheap pair of seat belts and some better weatherstripping around the doors going down the road leak air other then that your good!I love this truck and kills me to let it go but to build my other truck I got to sell this one. Whoever buys this truck will love it because its not a play toy like the others this one can be used just like your new truck you see everyday if wanted and the value keeps going up up up. These 46 trucks are extremely hard to find and have a awesome frontend on them and look great going down the road especially this one. You cant go anywhere without getting tons of attention. Overall this will make someone a awesome little driver to enjoy and was built over many of years by very experienced mechanics and only used nothing but the best of the best for parts including crate motor and tranny and is RUST FREE!!!! Tons of Money,Labor and Time was spent and it paid off this truck is turned out better then we all ever imagined but its time for someone else to enjoy it.

I never installed seat belts in it because they don't have to have them in a 46 but you can buy the aftermarket ones really cheap that bolt right in if wanted.
