1946 Chevrolet Half-Ton Pickup

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1946 Chevrolet Half-Ton Pickup marked Chevrolet’s return to full civilian truck production after World War II. Built as part of Chevrolet’s AK Series trucks, the ’46 model was essentially a continuation of the prewar design, reflecting the industry’s focus on meeting strong postwar demand rather than introducing all-new styling.

Chevrolet’s rugged half-ton featured a 115” wheelbase, a durable ladder-frame chassis, and a reliable 216.5ci inline six-cylinder engine that was mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Its simple mechanical design made maintenance straightforward, helping establish Chevrolet’s reputation for durable work vehicles.

This example has been in the same family for 39 years and was refurbished over several years during an extensive search for correct replacement parts. The truck wears two-tone light green and black paint, green-painted steel wheels with chrome dog dish hubcaps, a wood-planked bed, and a brown and light green interior with brown vinyl upholstery.

The pickup also features a crank-out ventilating windshield, bench seat, floor-mounted shifter, foot-operated starter switch, and a floor heater.
