Finished in Forrest Green, this '48 Chevrolet has been lovingly restored to original specifications with a few updates. The wiring system and fuse box have been updated throughout. The paint, chrome, and driveline are in great shape. This is a truck that can be driven and enjoyed. It was restored about 5 years ago and shows well today. Tens of Thousands were invested in the restoration effort. Be sure to play our video of this antique Chevrolet in action. Feel free to contact Dave at 214-213-7072 or Maris at 214-616-2317 with any questions.

This heavy-duty 1-ton truck is a pleasure to drive. The suspension is ready for what you throw at it. Be sure to play our video of this great old truck in action.

The flat bed rests atop the heavy-duty dually axle.

The attractive 5-Window Cab is in great shape. The glass and seals have been replaced. The fresh air cowl vent is still in place. The Forrest Green paint shows well throughout with only a few flaws. The paint and body are in exceptional condition.

Chevrolet's Advanced Series Pickup Trucks debuted in late 1947 and were produced until 1955. They were touted as a bigger, stronger, and sleeker design.

The front end displays the prominent grille & hood. The bumpers and grille show very well. Turn signals are mounted on the fenders.

Under the hood is the thriftmaster 6 cylinder. This powerplant runs out good and is paired with a 4-speed manual shift transmission. The charging system has been converted to 12-volt. Further inspection will reveal original sheetmetal throughout the firewall, inner fenders and core support.

The interior keeps true to tradition, its spartan at best, but it does have a working heater & factory gauges. The 4-speed standard transmission shifts through the gears as it should. The steering wheel of choice is the great old stock one.

The vinyl bench seat is in great shape.

The dash is clean and detailed, refinished in green with the factory gauges intact and brightwork showing well throughout.

The chassis underbody is very solid and in great shape. This includes the flooring, cab corners, suspension and framework throughout.

All of the tires were replaced with these heavy-duty radials during the restoration work.

Enjoy our remaining photos and again feel free to contact Dave at 214-213-7072 or Maris at 214-616-2317 with any questions.

Note the paint cracking seen above, this is the worst paint flaw on the truck. It cracked right along the seam, the body is smooth and solid underneath.

The door weatherstrip was replaced and the door metal is in excellent condition left and right.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
