The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk I just bought a 1945 Pickup . . . Was this a 1/2 ton?

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 1945 Chevy Pickup. I was told by the previous owner that it was a 1/2 ton, and he recently pulled the body off and put it on an S10 frame.

I was surprised because the Title actually says "1945" . . .

The VIN # is BK43 7857

I didn't think that Chevrolet made a 1/2 ton truck in 1945, but here it is.

I tried to search the VIN, but couldn't find anything.

If anyone might be able to provide me with some info, I would be grateful.

Thank you!
