Why This Vehicle is Special

Chevrolet has been making trucks for decades like the Advanced Design, Task Force, and the more recent C/K. We have a professional restoration of a 1946 Chevrolet Pickup here at Skyway Classics that has the unmistakable look of post-World War II pickups.

It has that rounded line, whitewall tires, and extensive chrome and has went through a restoration process that returned the body to its former shine with a green-black combination of exterior paint over a grey interior.

Mechanical

Under the hood sits the pristine numbers-matching 216 cubic inch inline-six cylinder engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission.

The engine has received regular service, including maintenance in March 2021 which included a transmission fluid change, gasket replacement, and the installation of a new radiator.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission and a floor-mounted shift lever.

Interior

The interior has a re-upholstered black vinyl bench, with metal portions of the interior being color-matched in green while the flooring is covered in a rubber liner. All of the interior was done as part of the 2016 restoration and is in good condition.

The cab has a green color-matched dash and some new parts were used for the build, but they were limited to the small things like the trim and handles, and also the gauges and steering wheel that adorn the dash.

Instrumentation in the dash within a chrome-trimmed rectangular bezel includes a 100-mph speedometer and surrounding gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage.

Exterior

This 1946 Chevrolet pickup was the recipient of a restoration in 2016 that included a full repaint, an interior overhaul, and replacement of bed planks and hardware.

Exterior treatment includes a waterfall-style chrome grille, wide whitewall tires, and scripted tailgate lettering.

Originally finished in two-tone red and cream paint, the body was refinished in green with a light green cab stripe that's offset with black fenders and running boards.

The exterior is described as being rust-free per the seller, comprised of original steel sheet metal with exception of the running boards and rear fenders which are fiberglass replacements.

This pickup has been garage-kept and displays a two-piece windshield, replacement wood planks and hardware in the cargo area, and good-condition brightwork for the bumpers, headlight rings, grille, and other exterior trim.

It rides on color-matched 15” steel wheels with bright Chevrolet-branded caps and wrapped in wide whitewall tires.

Conclusion

This professional restoration of a 1946 Chevrolet Pickup we have here at Skyway is a classic and one of the finest examples of a post-war Chevy truck you will find anywhere.

It is a must for any collector.
