Umatilla, Florida, United States

1949 Chevy truck.  Shortbed 3100 on a 1994 Silverado Frame.  Truck has power steering, tilt column, power brakes, front disc brakes.  New shocks, 350 chevy engine with Holley 600 four barrell carb.  Steel headers and dual exhaust ran to the rear of the cab with two thrush mufflers.  This truck runs and drives great. The frame and drivetrain came out of a silverado with less than 80k miles on it.  Runs like a bear! Has new aluminum radiator with electric fan.  AC compressor is still on the engine for anyone who wants to add air. The frame swap was done right.  As you can see in the pics, the truck has a ton of new parts.  Im not going to go through and make a list.  Has all new glass and rubbers, upgraded to electric windshield wiper motor.  Has bi-xenon headlights.  All the lights work including turn signals. Seat is newly recovered with genuine leather  The dash has been customized to fit a kenwood dvd/ navigation stereo.  It is not currently installed or included.  Rear speakers are wired and installed.  I can include and install the stereo/gps for an additional $550 if the buyer choses to do so.  Paint is only a few months old. Color is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl. Its a great looking paint job, but it is not show quality or flawless.  Bed rails and bed floor are stained and varnished oak.  Wheels are 15 inch with new tires. Has new gauges that are all operational including electronic speedometer.  I have only put a few miles on the truck as of today, but I will be driving it all week to work out any possible small problems like squeaks or rattles.  Right now the truck needs a few minor details to be taken care of including front end alignment, carb adjustment (new), and some detailing.  Any questions, call me at 570-299-1755.  Truck has a clear 1949 FL title in my name ready for transfer.  I would consider a partial trade on a 1930-1954 chevy truck project with cash.  Nothing else.  This is a big boy toy, so check with your wife, your mother, your dog, or whoever you need to before you bid.  Call me with any reasonable offers, but dont call me to ask how much I want.  

I can help arrange transport if needed.  

My pics were taken while the truck was still a little dusty and dirty.  I will get more on during the auction


On Apr-22-14 at 13:00:00 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a few more pics now that the truck is clean.  Had a front end alignment done today and drove it around to get a few more miles on it.  Ive had a ton of questions about the truck.  The frame is a complete frame swap.  Not a partial clip.  Its a full size shortbed 94 silverado under the 49 body.  It drives just like a 94 silverado.  It drives great.  It needs a few small things to be complete.  Nothing major.  It needs carpet.  Right now the floor is sprayed with truck bedliner and mostly covered with sound deadening material as you can see in the pics.  The drivers window rolls up and down but it needs adjustment, or a new regulator.  It works but its a little grumpy.  I have a few people coming by for test drives tomorrow and Thurs.  I will likely have the truck at the Good Guys show in Kissimmee FL on friday or saturday.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
