For Sale is a 1954 Chevy truck I am selling for my girlfriend. Unfortunately it was her late husband's truck and a lot of the details have been lost with him. I have drove and inspected the truck and the following description is based on my knowledge and expertise in the automotive business.
The truck is originally from the south, very rust free.The body and paint work is about 10 years old and is very straight and shows well. Not perfect by any means but a very nice driver restoration. The frame was sandblasted and painted black. The truck has a front cross member and suspension from a late 50's or early 60's car. Coil springs and drum brakes with a manual steering gear. The motor is a 235 6 cylinder. Rebuilt carb and a recent tune-up. May be original? Not sure without checking numbers. Runs pretty well but struggles to exceed 45 mph. The transmission is a Saginaw 4 speed that is probably out of a Vega or Monza based on the shifter. The rear axle is a 10 bolt that looks to be out of a 70's car. All of the exterior chrome has been painted body color. Windshield is new as well as most of the seals and gaskets have also been replaced. The seat is out of a Toyota and sets a little low for my tastes but looks good in the truck. The braking system is still the original style manual 4 wheel drum brakes. The bed is the original wood for the truck, just refinished.
I will try to answer the questions you have the best I can. The truck is being sold because it is to painful for her to see and have around otherwise I would be keeping it. This is a must see truck, that with a few drive train and suspension upgrades would be a very nice truck.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
