1946 Chevrolet hot rod /rat rod pickup with a clear Nebraska 1946 Chevrolet 1/2 ton title. This is a fresh build with no expense spared. This truck was built on a new 2X3 tubing frame with a new Speedway 4-link rear suspension with coil overs and a Speedway drop axle front end with hair pin radius rods. The brakes are all new and rebuilt. The front are new Speedway disc setup. The rear are stock 9-inch drums that have new wheel cylinders, new shoes, and all new hardware. It has a new master cylinder from Speedway with residual pressure valves on both front and rear with a proportioning valve and all new hard lines and new rubber lines so it stops on a dime. The tires are new Coker Classic 3 inch www. The engine is a 350 four bolt main block that has been gone thru, with a slightly larger cam for that hot rod sound and topped off with an aluminum intake, a new Edelbrock carb with electric choke, and an HEI distributor to make it a maintenance free daily driver. The transmission is a turbo 350 that has been gone thru and resealed so it shifts great. The rear axle is a GM 10 bolt out of a 79 trans am with 2.56 gears - it will cruise down the highway no problem. It has new oil and was cleaned up, all brackets were removed and the new 4 link brackets were installed then it was finished in a black ceramic frame paint. The cab of the truck was chopped 3 inches, but was not channeled so the stock leg room was left intact. The roof of the truck was painted with a silver base then the gold lace and designs were applied along with the silver flake in the center panel. It received 4 coats of House of Colors Kandy Tangerine then two coats of orange pearl before the clear was applied. The bed is from a early 50s International pickup that was shortened and topped with a very nice cover wrapped in marine grade vinyl that will withstand the elements. The fuel tank is hidden under a hinged door and the ammo can in the bed holds the battery and a fuse panel. The taillights are 59 caddy the headlights are new from speedway. We retained enough of the original bed for that cooler so you can still bring your cold beer to those car shows. The radiator is a new BE Cool unit wrapped in an original model A shell. The interior is painted a tan color with a new fabricated bench seat, all new gauges, and a new B and M shifter. This is a very neat old truck that has only been shown once with very good reception from young and old alike.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
