From Northern California, working on 1946 Ford pickup. Any help would be great all stock components right now. trying to keep it that way.

 

Moved to this forum.

 

Welcome! Keeping it all stock can be challenging. I’m in the same boat because not all pieces are reproduced or easily found. Good luck with it. Stu

 

Welcome ! I don't show up here regularly, but I have a small fleet of jailbar trucks. I cut this ad out of vintage truck magazine...

Greetings from So Cal. I've had quite a few of the 46-47. What parts are you having trouble finding?

 

At this time I am on a budget and looking at locating parts to build this truck up so it is reliable as a everyday driver. The more I dig in the more little things I find worn with a lot of play ect. Mainly engine and suspension parts at this time ,nothing specific. It took me 4 months to locate pistons for it along with correct head gaskets ect. Has the FH 6 G engine.

 

Thank you to everyones interest and support, I use Joes but have not used Chucks. I will check Chucks out too and bookmark.

hi nice looking truck .

 

Nice-looking truck! I'm in the middle of restoring a '46 1/2 ton pickup, which I bought as a basket case. Mine is a very conservative resto-mod,
so it has a modern transmisson, rear end, braking, but will look stock. my first truck was a '49 F-1, and I'm finding out that parts for the '46 are
exponentially more difficult to find. I have found parts at Dennis Carpenter in NC, a couple of things at Bob Drake, but a lot of what I needed and
great service through Midwest Early Ford in OH. The Early Ford Store in San Dimas, California has a good website for parts shopping as well.
