Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 | Just letting everybody know that I just added a .pdf version of the "Gold Book" - Unit Designed Chevrolet Truck Bodies book to my 41-46 Chevy truck web page. This is a GREAT document that is pretty rare. It is a larger file (10MB) so be sure to have a good connection. Visit www.46chevytruck.com to download. Enjoy! Tim ps: it apprears that Brad's 41-46 web page has gone dormant and is no longer accessable. No worries, I have copies for pretty much all of the resources he once had published and will work to recreate it where possible. It will just take time.....

Thanks very much. That is an incredible book.
Nice scan-job, too.
| | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 | Happy to put it out there for everybody. It took years for me to find one and I had to pay a good price for it so I'm glad everybody has access to it now.
I would love to find the 1946 Chevy accessories book to post next.

In the Gallery | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 | Happy to host the site. I think I have it bought and paid for through next year but will likely just keep it going. My computer that I do all of the maintenance on died so have not been able to do any maintenance or add new docs for a few months.
I do have the 1946 Accessories book scanned and ready to upload. This one is really rare and I had to pay through the nose for it! I'll try to get that out there as soon as I fix my old computer (hard drive failure).

list for a while, most are in poor to very poor condition and the cost is nuts.
thanks again

Thanks for your work and for your committment to share the information with other old-truck-lovers. All of your books and manuals are excellant. > Question: Did you change or update the file that you mentioned at the beginning of this thread? I downloaded a "Unit Designed Chevrolet Truck Bodies" pdf from your site in either Sept 2012 or April 2013. I recorded the link and it is the same as the link on your website today ... http://www.46chevytruck.com/Unit%20Designed%20Chevrolet%20Truck%20Bodies.pdfThanks, - Lonnie
