Re: Newbie help
looks right to me, nice find! the 41-46 didnt have a chevy stamp in the tailgate. thats got a later model rear end under it, based on the 5 lug. the belt line doesnt look rusty.
I forgot a couple problem area. one is the windshield regulators, the windshields crank out and the regulator is made of pot metal while the gear is steel, so it wears on the pot metal as you use it. I have bought 5 of these trucks and 1 has had a usable regulator. a worn regulator wont hold the windshield tight and they are pretty expensive.
another is the windshield frame, its a multipiece setup and water gets in the gap at the bottom. a couple freeze/thaw cycles and it stretches out the steel at that point and needs rewelded or the frame replaced if its bad enough. if you need a new frame, take my advice and buy a COMPLETE and ASSEMBLED ONE. putting one together is a mother.
