He checked and came back saying they may have one for the C/K series. I asked him if that was correct, and he said that's what they called them back then, since they didn't have names like Silverado, etc.
Is that right? Sounds to me like he's got it confused with a pickup. Maybe there is only one type resto kit, I guess I don't know for sure. Has anyone else tried to get one for their 1-1/2 to 2 ton truck?? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 454 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 454 | Restoration packs are specific to the year, not the model. There will be information covering all of the truck models.

The C and K designations didn't come around until the 60s, at the earliest. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 159 | Hi Stephen, Does this page help? 1946 Resto-Pack | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,722 24601 | | 24601 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,722 | Stephen,
I got a nice resto pack from Chevrolet specific to my '49 1.5-ton. Sounds like you talked to a new guy. Try again and see if you can talk to somebody else who knows what they're doing.

Has anyone else tried to get one for their 1-1/2 to 2 ton truck?? The guy doesn't know what he is talking about. I don't think the C/K designations started before the 60's. I have several restoration packs starting with 1947. They each cover all light and medium duty trucks.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 116 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 116 | Yup, got the stuff yesterday and just looked at it. There is a pack of info on specialty shops and GM licensees and there is a pack of information for PASSENGER CARS!!  Thanks khardy! That link shows that what I got it exactly the passenger car resto pack, not even close. I shoulda known. So, should I call back and get the truck set or just use the online info (print it out)? I have the guy's name and extension, so I know who NOT to talk to. :rolleyes: | | | | | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 3 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 3 | Glad to hear you fella`s talking this topic.
