Got my Grandfathers 1946 Chevrolet 3/4 ton farm truck. It is in very good condition with the usual farm dents and dings.
It is all original except for the 1953 powerglide 235 engine and a replacement radiator. I would like to keep it as original as possible.
I cherish the smells of my childhood while riding in the truck with Grandpa. Not sure if it is the dust/oil/grease/grain smell, but it sure brings back memories.
The truck did it work by Roseau, MN from 1947 till I got it in 2010.
It has been fun learning about the starter button, crank start, wood used in the truck body, crank open windshield, gas tank under the seat, one brake light, etc.
I would like to find other Art Deco style truck owners in the Twin Cities of MN.

Welcome!
I grew up with a '46 1 ton pickup in southern Minnesota. Ours had a '54 engine in it.
Glad you get the chance to preserve a family heirloom. Plenty of good help and info available here.

Welcome! Great to see another Art Deco truck being revived. Though it sound like yours was never really retired. Looking forward to some pix.
