This listing is for my 1946 Chevrolet pickup truck, 1/2 ton. It's in excellent, basically original, condition. It's a 6 cylinder, 3-speed transmission. It starts and runs well, seems to hold good oil pressure too. It's unrestored, has been painted at some time in its history. It's been converted to 12 volt from the original 6 volt, starts right up easily. Has all glass in it, windshield does need replacing - crack on one side, discolorations on the other. Tires are good, battery is good, body is good. Fenders are really good - best I've ever seen on one of these. Hood is straight, doors are clean and straight, box is ok for a driver but would need work for show - does have some extra holes drilled here and there plus small dents. Tailgate is solid but dented - replacements are reasonable. Brakes could use some work, they do lose fluid over time. Last owner said it tends to overheat but I've not driven it enough to tell, I've driven it around the neighborhood without problem but haven't hit the highways with it due to brakes.
I think it's a nice old truck, probably nearly completely solid - I don't see any rust or rust hole repairs, cab floor is excellent too. I suppose some pinholes could show up if it were sandblasted but right now it looks very, very solid. It's not from the Midwest but not sure where it's from.
If you ever wanted a nice clean truck to either drive as is with minimal work or to restore, this may be one of the best you could find! If you want to see it for personal inspection, that would be fine.
It was purchased to do a full body-off restoration, I've done several others like this one and this is definitely the best I've had for a starting point, but I purchased a 1929 car and have decided to restore that instead. Parts for these are readily available, I've been using Jim Carter's truck parts and definitely have been pleased.
Truck can be stored for 30 days after auction if paid in full, shipping arrangements completely up to the buyer, I'm not a dealer, just a hobbyist that enjoys new projects.
Actual mileage unknown but the ebay listing format requires a number so I entered an arbitrary number, not actual mileage.
Paint is quite faded and does have some peeling and blisters, still looks somewhat presentable though!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
