My name is Raphaël, I live in south of France. I m crazy about old American cars.
I have an 1950 ford (européen)custom project with 440 mopar engine (hope it will
be finished one day...), 70 corvette coupe and the new toy, a 1946, 2 ton Chevy truck
It's not easy to know the exact model, because I found nothing with the body number.
I will try to send a picture if I found how to do !
Sorry for my English 👨🏫

welcome to the Stovebolt. We can't wait to share your journey with your new truck. If you have photos of it on a hosting site, you could just include the link in a posting. Congratulations on obtaining your new toy! | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,470 Bond Villain | | Bond Villain Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,470 | Bienvenu a Stovebolt, Raphaël !! Pardonnez vous mon accent Quebecoise (tres horrible ...), but like Rusty says, your English is not only better than most of our French, it's probably better than most of our English, too ....  Anyway ... I just bumped Alain's (un autre Francais) post so you could better see it. You two should meet up! You are in the right spot! The gang here can help you figure out your truck! Hope to see you around ! Thanks for joining us! Regards, John
