The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"1946 GMC one ton pick-up with a 9 foot box, frame-off restoration, all original, matching numbers, engine re-built. Looks as if it came right out of the showroom. Real head turner at the Detroit dream cruise."
I found this vehicle in an old barn in northern Saskatchewan where it was used as a farm truck. There was no rust on the vehicle when I got it, although the box was in really rough shape. The truck is a 1 ton (9 foot box) 1946 GMC, built in Oshawa, Ontario. It went through a complete frame-off restoration over the last 10 years. The 216 cu in engine was totally rebuilt professionally, as was all the body work and painting. The paint colors are original for 1946 GMC. All rubber is new and all components are either new or rebuilt. The frame and springs were in such good condition, they still had their parts numbers on them. The rear axle and the 4 speed transmission were running fine, so new reworks were required. Engine and cab numbers match.
The vehicle has a top speed of about 43 MPH and rides incredibly smooth considering it's vintage. This is "an original type " vehicle- the only thing that has been changed from its original state is the conversion from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system. I also added turn signals to make driving a lot easier . The rear fenders on the box look as new; however they are fiberglass since I was unable to locate original replacements. Spare tire and wheel assembly will be included.
I have a copy of the original vehicle ownership, shop manual, vehicle operating manual, and sales brochure.
This is in "like new" condition and could be on display in any showroom . Took it to the Woodward Dream cruise in Detroit and got thumbs up from all!
I love this vehicle, but need to sell, due to moving.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes
Thu, Feb 5 2015General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
