The best resto-mods are the purest: they look mostly stock on the outside, but offer modern performance and all-day comfort underneath. This 1946 Chevrolet 3-Window Restomod pickup truck is a perfect example of a modern restoration done tight. At first glance, it's a beautifully restored old pickup, but under the hood there's a 5.7L LT1 V8 engine, an automatic overdrive transmission, and all the performance and comfort of a newer machine. Coupled with a handsome, leather-clad A/C interior in the cab, this all-steel vintage hauler is one of the coolest early Bowtie pickups we've ever featured.
Although WWII was technically over in 1946, American automakers still had pre-war cars and trucks they needed to liquidate after a long hiatus where they were pressed into service of the war effort. So, if you've ever wondered why trucks like this '46 model look eerily similar to the '41-'42 models, now you know. We happen to love that there was an extension of the AK Series model run, because these beautiful 'Art Deco' haulers are some of the coolest pickups ever designed. Torch Red paint is always a wonderful choice for an old pickup, and it work exceptionally well on the 3-Window design. We can all envision a truck just like this, which years ago was working in a field with a denim-clad farmer tossing hay bales into the bed. Today it has been restored to better than new condition, with a glistening, miles-deep paint job that really pops under our photo-booth lights. A lot of these Chevy pickups were worked to death out on the farm, but by the looks of the laser-straight and evenly gapped sheet metal it seems this one lived an easy life since day one. '40s pickups have become collector's items in their own right, combining timeless good looks with great drivability, and this one seems to have distilled the essence of that idea into sharper focus. The bumpers were deleted and there's not a ton of chrome or brightwork contrasting the red finish, but you do get a highly polished waterfall grille up front, chrome hood trim, and those bright, flashy wheels. Out back, the oak bed is as clean as a dance floor, with beautifully finished wood separated by chrome slats. It looks so darn good you'll think twice before filling it with dirt, although it's certainly still capable of hauling half of Home Depot away with you.
Inside, the basics are a lot less basic than they were in 1946, with fresh materials found throughout the cozy cab. Although the goal was to make this a truck capable of cruising like a modern vehicle, the builder didn't want to lose the flavor of a vintage machine. So, there's a bench seat still in place - although it's now upholstered in plush tan leather - and the original metal dash has been painted and restored, but not overly modified. Inside the chrome gauge panel ahead of the driver is a full set of white-faced Dolphin gauges, including a digital/analog speedometer. A leather-wrapped banjo three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, so the driver can get comfortable behind the wheel, and a Lokar-style floor shifter is just a short reach away. Options include a Vintage A/C unit that was neatly installed under the dash, power windows, and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit that manages the upgraded speakers tucked away in the kick panels. Plush tan carpets replace the original rubber mats and help insulate the cab, and the custom headliner above was bespoke-built to match the seat.
The original six-cylinder engine and stump-pulling gears are long gone, replaced by a rebuilt, fuel-injected 350 LT1 V8. The motor has plenty pop, although the primary goal wasn't tire-shredding horsepower, but rather comfortable cruising without disturbing the character of the original vehicle. And in that regard, it is extremely successful. The engine runs without a fuss, inhaling through a modern fuel-injection system up top and exhaling through a great-sounding dual exhaust system with Flo-Pro Max mufflers underneath. The engine bay was designed to show off, with a smoothed red firewall and matching inner fenders, plenty of polished and chrome pieces on the block, and a big aluminum radiator with an auxiliary fan that keeps it all nice and cool. Managing that added power is a modern 4L60E automatic transmission with overdrive, and it spins a durable 10-bolt rear end that cruises effortlessly at high speeds. A TCI front suspension sets the stance and plants the truck on the road, there are upgraded shocks and springs throughout, and the power rack-and-pinion system and power front disc brake system means this Chevy has great road manners. Chrome Cragar wheels add plenty of flash and wear staggered 275/60/15 front and 235/60/15 rear blackwall radials that fill the fenders perfectly.
If you're attracted to an original truck but would like to have one with a wider operating range and the comforts of a modern machine, here you go. With only 15k miles on the build, this '46 Chevy Restomod is ready to work for years to come. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
