Ok I gotta ask for a friend, how come the year 47 is always the start of almost all catologs? My bud has a 46 chevy and needs some parts. is there a big difference from 47 to 46? Is it because of the war at the time? Just wondering

Most OEM's stayed with the same style through the war years. Even after the war the first trucks were just warmed over Pre-war versions. Even for 1947 the first trucks were basically a 1946 which is why we have a "1947 1st series" then later the NEW retooled/styled 1947 Advanced Design truck.
So basically from about 41 thru 46 they were pretty much the same. Then the AD years 1947-1955 1st series.

At least this is close!! The experts may chime in.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Check Jim Carter, he has a catalog that goes from 34 or 36 to 46, with lots of parts for the 41 to 46 trucks. Dave

If you have time to waste, and you are interested in changes made in the Advance-Design series in 1947, here is a reproduction of a GM document about the new Advance-Design series of trucks. (Advance-Design, not Advanced Design)
