Hello All
I'm new here. I've always wanted an antique truck - I got lucky and found a beautiful 1946 GMC pickup. She's an EC152, but she's been shortened to a shortbed length. I wasn't sure what I was doing with her - I've had many other projects, but nothing this old. Over time I've fallen in love with this pickup... the beautiful purr of her 228, the starter peddle on the floor, etc.
She came with an old AM radio - a beast of a thing; the size of a toolbox with tubes! But when I got the truck, the previous owner got a Painful wiring harness and stopped after butchering the existing wiring. I've since installed an American Autowire harness, a 12v alternator, new instruments, new windshield, new brakes all around, new brake cylinder, etc.
Maybe one of you can tell me about the various tags around the pickup. Below is a pic of one in the engine bay on the driver's side. This is clearly different than the manufactures identifying tag (often called a cowl tag). There is another tag on the bed.
Enough rambling. Here are a few pics of her current state...
