I purchased my 1946 Chevy 1/2-ton truck from a gentleman in Illinois. My husband is helping me with the restoration. We're about 10 min from it arriving at the house. I affectionately named the truck Bruno, after my Grandpa).
He's got a 216 Babbitt that we're replacing, and a 6 volt battery (that I'd like to replace out of fear of needing a jump from a 12 V). Other than that, and the addition of a passenger side taillight (for safety, because he's going to be my daily driver) I'm going to keep him as original as possible.
Does anyone have any advice as to modifications, or suggestions on one brand vs another on anything? I'm a newbie to restoration, and I could use all the help I can get.
Thank you!
Maria
