1954 5 Window 3100 truck. This truck is in great shape. I have had it for 2 years and did everything I thought it should have to restore it to its original character. This has the original engine and most importantly the original 2 tone deluxe blue interior cab. The 2 tone deluxe interior was an upgrade in 1954 and this interior is very rare -- see the original Chevy brochure in the photos. I only know of a few other trucks with the original interior 2 tone deluxe paint.

The engine runs great. I have had two mechanics review the truck for all mechanical issues and none were found. This still has the original 6V system, which hold a full charge and never had any issues.

The bed is sealed IPE, a Brazilian hardwood, which is dense and has the luster of mahogany. All chrome on the truck is in great shape.

The truck comes with an original period correct fire extinguisher, to be located and installed by the next Owner. It also includes a cab visor which I removed because I liked the look of the truck without the visor better.

Here is a list of the items I tackled. Everything is documented with photos and receipts.

• New kingpins
• New fuel pump
• New heater and radiator hoses. All nuts and bolts used in my part of the restoration are stainless steel.
• New brake lines -- current drum brakes work extremely well.
• Restored original AM radio (rare) now gets AM, FM and can plug into a device like an IPhone
• New door windlace (be happy I did that -- it is not a fun task)
• Reconditioned the vacuum wiper control
• New speedometer
• New speedometer cable
• New cross sills and rear cross sill
• New stainless steel bed strips
• New neoprene tailgate trunion. Neoprene makes the tailgate operation almost silent as opposed to the metal trunions.
• Re-wired the rear lights and blinkers (all electric items on the truck work)
• New rear tail light chrome wire loom.
• Complete cleaning of the frame under the bed with primer and three coats of black satin paint.
• Restored Harrison heater / defroster
• New radial tires -- makes an incredible difference in driving
• New cowl vent gasket
• New passenger side window weather-stripping, cat whiskers and vent window gaskets
• New driver's side and passenger side seat belts
• Removed, cleaned, primed and under-coated each rear fender.
• Installed fender welt on the rear fenders
• Sourced and installed the proper under-bed tire carrier (rare)
• Currently priming and painting both bed side splash fenders. All parts sandblasted first.

Here's what I might do if I keep the truck:
• Install the driver's side door window weather-stripping (I have the kit and will include it with the truck)
• Remove, clean and paint the underside of the running boards
• Remove, clean, prime and under-coat each front fender.
• Install fender welt on the front fenders
• Adjust the parking brake
• Wash, wax and drive the truck as much as possible. There is really not much left except take care of this easy to drive and reliable truck.

This truck needs to go to someone who understands the legacy of these trucks and the value of preserving the history of this specific vehicle. This is a one-of-a-kind daily driver.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
