1946 Chevy truck - could be a fun project

Hey guys I was wandering local CL ads and came across this diamond in the rough 😁. What a cool truck this could be . Would you put a LS in it ? Or maybe a diesel ? A Cummins straight six diesel mated to an Allison 6 speed auto would be fun . Just thinking out loud .

Electric. Hide the batteries and motor in diamond-plate toolbox, use the engine compartment for a trunk.

$3500 for what may be a problematic frame , no motor , no trans? Is there collector value there?

I think the value if any is just the cool factor because of its age . Like most automotive projects it doesn't make sense to an accountant 😁

If you are talking to me my ground up restoration days are over . I am retired and have the time but no longer have the desire to eat rust .

tease! That is a good looking truck though. It almost looks like someone converted it to a 4x4 with those wheels on it, which is kind of cool in it's own way.

Now you have me searching 46' chevy pickups. Thanks a bunch!

First Mover Disadvantage - let some other guy buy it, fix it up partway, and burnout on it - then you buy it
