Re: Lets see your truck!
1946 Package Delivery. I had this for about 8 years now and I am hoping to get started at the end of this year. I will only be looking to do air bags and disc brakes suspension, restore the interior add glass, minor body work as needed to match whats there now and wheels.
I have most of the parts to get the plans above started. |

Check out any 35-47 ford car frame or 35-40 car pickup to get the ideal stepdown frame, light, avalable,, if you get the front wheels set forward by approx 10" you will have the right look. there is no way this truck will be right with the dime frame. ever met McDanials in Carlsbad? |

Thanks, this will be a lot of work, but it should be fun doing it. Maybe even start my first build thread. lol BTW. This has the short 127 inch wheelbase, the same as my 72 suburban. |

Re: Lets see your truck!
Here are a couple photos of a '41 Chevy. Unfortunately, it's not mine.

Re: Lets see your truck!
"nice truck......... is that a 8' bed ?"
This is a T-14 3/4 ton originally. And it has the extra long bed. 14" longer than a chevy short bed, 4" longer than a chevy long bed. I started to cut it down several times but the thought of having something different won over the thought of correct proportions. I plan on rolling it out in the spring with the GMC front end much to some saying that the front end is ugly. I like it to be different. There's not another one around that I have laid my eyes on. Lot's of short bed chevy's. |

its one of the coolest designs from the thirties - hands down. To me the so called "art Deco" bulbulous grills from 41 up is whats ugly, There is no more art deco anything automotive than a 37-8 gmc grill, They can be done like a volume control---turned down or all the way up! |

Painted up a set of wheels today and tossed on some smaller tires. Changed the look!

Re: Lets see your truck!
At a show. Traded the orange 65 and the blue 50 trucks for it. Having dogs that I take everywhere, suburbans make a great pooch rig.

Re: Lets see your truck!
tuckeez, I agree wqith you completely. I don't care much for the 41-46 front ends either. I can't wait to get the GMC front end on my truck. I have tried a few different paints to try to match the natural rust but not having much luck. I may just have to paint it a flat black and roll on. Or I could do with what I did to the chevy grill. It was Blue before I put it on the truck. I wire wheeled it and let it rust naturally.

Re: Lets see your truck!
Just realized I never posted a picture of mine. '46 with MII, 350 TBI/700R4.
It's been my daily driver for 10+ years now. Building the back-up truck now. ![]() Rob
