Just bought 1946 Chev 3100 with a 1955 or 56 Chev inline 6 motor. Ran fine for a week or so. After a short drive I went to put in reverse and it would not go so I just left in the neighbors driveway to let it sit for a bit. When I tried to start it an hour later I got absolute silence- no cranking , no ticking - nothing. It had an old battery so I put a new one in - still nothing. Tried tapping on the starter to see if it was on a bad spot no luck. I did confirm the press button on the starter is getting fully engaged by the pedal. I was able to push it in the garage and it rolls now so I know it is in neutral. Any thoughts on trouble shooting would be appreciated , just started getting into this and don't spend a fortune on blind fishing! Thank you!
