My son's 46 Chevy build
I picked up a 46 Chevy truck a few years back to build with/for my youngest son. He is 16 now and learning to drive so we started on the truck. When I purchased the truck the old owner had been gathering parts and we have 2 of almost all the body parts. The truck has not been on the road since 1973 and is in poor shape.

Re: My son's 46 Chevy build
The frame was in bad shape so we are going with an S10 chassis. We found this one for 250 bucks. I had to take the truck and everything on it.....
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...344/1946_3.jpg We had the body stripped off in no time http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...344/1946_4.jpg Time for some cleaning and then cutting off anything we are not going to use. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/data/500/1946_5.jpg http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...344/1946_6.jpg |

Making some progress. We have completed the chassis. Getting ready to get the engine and tranny in.

Re: My son's 46 Chevy build
Nice progress on the frame. It cleaned up well. What are the plans for power?

Re: My son's 46 Chevy build
Looks good. Lookin forward to more.

Re: My son's 46 Chevy build
I'm not a fan of S-10 swaps just for the sake of swapping frames but when you don't have a good frame to work with they do work out pretty nice.
Keep those progress reports coming. When I lived in Texas in the early 70's my buddy had a 41 1/2 ton that he redid with a 396, 4 speed and rear axle out of his 69 Chevelle that had seen better days body wise. |

We scored a low mileage TBI 350 and 700r4 tranny a while back that is going in this truck. Its old outdated fuel injection but is very reliable and easy to wire. It will be plenty for a16 year old

Re: My son's 46 Chevy build
I am starting another 42 and have no frame. I do have an s10 frame. What kit are using to adapt the body to the frame? The project is looking great
