The market on these is weak. They were really popular 2-3 years ago and were bringing good money. Today an unrestored complete non-rusted and running 1946 canopy express may bring in $6-10,000. A rusted, non-running and incomplete 1946 will bring $2000-5000. It is worth a lot less if incomplete (missing tailgate and cab divider) There is a limited market for them and finding the tailgate and cab divider is very difficult.
These trucks were prone to rust because of the nature of the vehicle (open cab and/or produce and wet vegetables) and in the 60's when they no longer did door to door produce sales they went into the fields where many of them rusted away or were scrapped.
It is difficult to find information on them especially official doccumented information. They pop up on ebay occasionally, but they are either priced too high or they don't sell because of condition. The 47/55 are more popular, but the market has slumped on these too.
