Re: My '46 Chevy Pickup - The Innaugural Pre '47 Thread!
...a couple of detail pictures. The original seat that was in it was a MESS....no, worse than that, it could ACTUALLY put a steel spring in your rearend! I actually put a folding aluminum camping chair in it the first weekend so I could drive it "safely". Later I bought a 3rd row bench seat from a Dodge Ram 12 passenger van. I have since bought an original underseat gas tank sheet metal surround and found better original seat frames but frankly, the bench seat from the van is very comfortable. Haven't decided what to do yet.
The tailgate is from a '40. I understand correct tailgates are blank, but I like the script better, so I'm keeping it. It's not like thetruck is a restoration project.
The rims are off a '51-'52 Chevy car. I actually lost one of the caps early on and managed to find a replacement set on CL! I picked the best of them to replace my existing set.
All comments welcomed, Dan
