Sheridan's 1946 Chevrolet Model 3104 1/2 Ton pick-up HELPFUL RESTORATIONS LINKS

Below are most of the links to the resources, companies, etc... that I used while rebuilding my truck.
I have found over the years that most people in the restoration hobby/business have been great to work with!!!

Reference

• Art Deco Series Site -- This is the first web page I found related to 41-46 trucks
• Brad's '41 to '46 Chevies -- Info site for the Art Deco trucks.
• Stovebolt.com - Probably the best reference source out there.  Draw fro the collective genius of thousands of other old GM truck fans.
• Vintage truck magazine
   

• OLD ONLINE CHEVY MANUALS - Information for the Pre & Post-War Chevrolet Passenger Cars & Trucks

• Vintage Chevy Club of America
