Hello all, Rosco here from WI.
Worked on many cars and trucks in my teens and 20s. Picked up a running, moving, but not stopping 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton truck project. Retired 2 years ago and always wanted to tinker with a car/truck project.
The truck does run and has a 261 installed in it according to the block numbers and the 'Captains Marks". The previous owner shifted it forward and backwards with the stock 3 speed but warned me that the brakes don't work. Body is decent for the age and has been skinned years ago. Came with the box walls and tailgate, 4 front fenders that need repair, and boxes of parts. Started on the brakes which have been dry for awhile due to broken lines. Next am tackling the rusty frame and leaf springs.
Will be needing lots of parts and tons of time. Hopefully I get enjoyment out of driving the truck someday after all the work. But I am sure you all know what that is like. Did
my first post about the engine and had very good responses to my question.
This sounds like a nice site with good people. Looking forward to keeping up on the site as time allows. Thanks
