Tommy,

After trying to read up on your question, I couldn't find anything that indicated there was a specially sized "large boot" for the '46 coil to distributor wire. The Master Parts Books don't give a different part number for that wire anywhere I could see.

I did find one possible reproduction source (not mine) here: https://www.classychevusa.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=1832/mode=prod/prd1832.htm

This wire set is listed for '37-46 Chevy trucks, so evidently meant to fit your truck.

The provide picture shows a larger looking end boot for the single coil to distributor wire then those shown in other after market source ads, but looks like you have to buy the whole set to get what you want.

If this doesn't solve your problem, maybe a solution is to take the existing coil and distributor cap to your FLAPS of choice and ask them to check some available coil wires to see if you can find one that has a boot that will stay in place and match with your distributor cap.

Just a hopefully useful suggestion. headscratch

Let us know what you figure out as others may need the info sometime in the future. thumbs_up
