Mark Coe's 1946 Chevy 1/2-Ton

From Mark: 

      This is my 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton. This truck was built the first month production resumed in 1945 after the war (September). It is a blackout model, with painted grille and plastic door handles and window cranks.

      I am in the process of street-rodding it.

      I found it in a shed at an in-law's farm. It was my wife's great-grandfather's pickup. Her uncle was kind enough to give it to me for free as long as I agreed that it wouldn't be leaving the family once it was done. It had been in the shed since 1976.

      The pictures I have included are what it looked like last summer when I first got it home as well as some pictures of my progress.

      The LT1 motor and 6-speed tranny came out of a 1996 Camaro.

      Thanks for the great web site.
