1946 Chevrolet
Year/Make 1946 Chevrolet
Owner: Jim Adams
The owner is Jim Adams of Pleasanton,
California! He has carefully rebuilt this 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton as one that would
have been seen in the 1950's. The big difference is that he created it as a
high-performance vehicle of 50 years ago during his high school years. For the
few that had money in those more difficult times, this is what many wanted to
build.
This little 1/2 ton spent its early life in Hayward, CA as a fruit and
vegetable delivery truck. Jim, about the fourth owner, bought it six years ago
in a storage lot mostly as a cab and chassis. The tired bed nearby had
numerous removed parts of questionable value.
At the beginning of the restoration, stock and reproduction parts were not too
difficult to find. It was the high performance equipment that was the real
challenge. They were gradually found with much time researching.
A few era additions used during the complete rebuilding are: A 3" dropped
front axle, Edmonds water warmed intake manifold, Fenton headers, 1957 Chevy
235 engine with 1/4 race camshaft, chrome valve cover, two Carter YF carbs,
and a high speed ring and pinion. Jim went modern on the brakes using disc on
the front as well as a vacuum power brake booster under the floor. Even the
seats are in a black vinyl roll and pleat design with a correct rubber floor
mat.
The completed package is just right., an excellent restoration, early year
high performance, and modern stopping ability. If it was in the 1950's this
little pickup would surely not take second place among any 6 cylinder or
flathead V-8 cars or trucks.
When in any car and truck show, this truck is the one that gets the crowds! It
is so unusual in these days of modern V-8's and high tech add-ons.
