Hi Guys can anyone tell me what model this chevy is? And since it has nothing but the body is about 20 rusted, is it worth getting it on the road?

Looks like a '46 Chevy to me. Perhaps a small moving van originally. Jack

Already comes with wicked cool paint job !

46' probably a 6000 series chassis.

Thanks Guys, I thought it was a 43....Wonder if there is value in creating a rat rod out of it....?

As they say "a man's junk is another man's gold" The body would make a cool project on a modern chassis.

It is one of the "Art Deco" series made from 1942 thru 1947-1/2. Looks to be at least a 1.5, possibly 2 ton. They all remained unchanged during WWII until the "AD" (Advanced Design) series were introduced in 1947-1/2.

The axles and fenders are slightly different between the 1.5 & 2T. Everything else is pretty much the same on that series.

PS...the fact that this series remained unchanged all during the "war years" means there are more parts available than one might think.
