While surfing around the web and looking at various magazines, I have noticed that most aftermarket parts suppliers start off with supplying stuff from 1947 and newer. Why is that? Is there something about 46's that companies don't want to be bothered or will most 47 parts fit on 46's? while we all ponder that... heres a couple more pics of my new girlfriend!

Where I find issues is with frame mod. components - not a lot of bolt-on stuff available. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 | welcome you are correct most start at 47 try chevy of the 40s and jim carters look in the linkd section there are a few more also but that are the ones i use most

For all the '41 and '46's around you would think that parts would be easier to find, although there are more suppliers stocking parts for them than there was ever a few years ago. I'm sure that you will find a lot of help with parts and questions here!
