Ted Hirn's1946 Chevy 1/2-Ton |
May 2000
From
Ted:
This is an updated pic of
my '46 Chevy truck. The paint is a Chevy medium blue mist. We got to take it
to our first car show two days after we got it back and my wife finally decided
she wanted to drive it to work! (that's the third time she's drove it in 3 years).
I got the bed laid with red oak and three coats of poly. It definately attracts attention!

From Ted:
This is my toy! I bought this truck off of a guy who
started on it and ran out of time and interest (typical). He had mounted it
on a '72 1/2-ton frame and put a (I hate to say it) Ford steering column in
it. That was a treat to wire!
I put a 350 4-bolt main
in it and have been slowly getting it together. It has power steering, brakes
and windows. I drive it daily and it gets a lot of attention. My
wife says it has to be ready to paint next spring, so I gotta get out there
and get to work!
The truck is a Chevy half
ton with a '39 bed on it. It has a bit of a different grille on it because the
guy I got it from cut it down to be different and I decided to leave it.
The license plate reads TTTTSIX ( fourTsix) and really makes people scratch their heads!
