Chassis no. BA424986. Green with black fenders over brown vinyl. 216-cid, 90hp six, 4-speed, hub caps and trim rings, Firestone wide whitewalls, varnished wood bed floor, stainless bed strips, floor shift, heater, radio.

Evaluation: Fresh restoration showing just 9 test miles, but done to truck standards. The engine bay looks fresh and gorgeous, but the paint shows lots of small blemishes and orange peel in a few spots. Very clean wheels and tires. Very good interior other than heavy orange peel on the painted dash. Fresh wood in the bed is too heavily varnished. Neat, clean chassis and underbody. A fun, charming old Chevy pickup.

Bottom Line: This ’46 Chevy pickup is thoroughly and sympathetically restored, probably at a cost (even with $0/hour labor) that couldn’t be duplicated for the price it brought here. For a farm, hardware store, or lumber yard this is a traffic draw and a sound value at this result.
