I have a chance to buy one but don't know if they were limited production or not | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | production got restarted in early 44, but there wasn't many produced in 44/45 - they were really the same as 42's - have never seen seperate production figures for 44/5 - they were considered "interim 46" models and many were titled as 46's - also would be "limited" because there was a strike at GM in late 45
considering all that, yes 45's could be called "limited production", but that doesn't really mean much unless it's 110% original and the vin tag confirms it and you're a museum!
book I have sez serial #s started at BK2127 up [1/2T pu], CK1001 up [1/2T pu and other models]

Very low production numbers.. but since the '41 '42 and '46 trucks are identical, I wouldn't count on that low production number effecting the price all that much, except to perhaps a small handfull of serious collectors or anal retentive types.
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

The one I am looking at has a 400ci in it and other mods. I was just curious if there were many others out there. see the 41's and 46's but no one says they have a 45. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 | Originally posted by GAZIM:

They were deteriorated and made the trans sag at the rear and had an effect on the crossmember. I ordered the wrong ones and had to reorder them :mad: . I'm just about got everything buttoned up now. I hope it works out! :rolleyes: I got a bunch of pictures that I'm going to repost on my album. :p | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 | thanks im4racin. betcha It is colder in N.dak than Mich.
