1946 pickup

[oldford2]

A few years ago I rebuilt an engine for a friends 46 pickup. He installed it and continued to work on it. He had early dementia and puttered around with it for a couple of years and then moved to a nursing home. His faithful wife kept it in in a heated barn and I went up every spring and fall to service it. Never got out on the road.
So now I brought it to my shop to get it "road worthy".
He tried to convert it to 12 volts and wires are everywhere. Carb, ignition, clutch, brakes and lighting need work.
So a project for me. Just for fun and keep me busy. CharlieNY has generously rebuilt the fuel pump. I will keep you posted

Looks like a nice truck.

I agree. It looks really solid from this angle. Wiring is a lot easier than fixing up a rotted out body for sure! Looks like a fun project. Dig in and take pictures.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

It's good, though, that the truck fell into the hands of someone who will look after it.

I rewired my 41 pu from scratch. It's not too difficult a job.

Mart.

I sent you a PM regarding your wiring.
