See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"You are viewing a very nice partially restored 1959 GMC dually flatbed. The title does say GMC but for all practical purposes all one will see is Chevy emblems upon inspection. I know this will be an issue for some purists but if you get past that you will see one beautiful truck in traditional trim that was put together very well. In fact, as far as I can tell most of the truck is original including motor, transmission, glass, split rims, ect. The pictures represent the truck very well and I think the entire cab is as good as one can be for the year. The bed itself is solid rough oak in a steel frame measuring just over 10 feet in length and just under 8 feet in width rail to rail with a wheelbase of 11 feet 4 in. Tires are 7.00 x 18 mounted on split rims and presently hold air, they are worn and show some weather checking and I simply do not drive to far from home with them. The truck starts, runs, and drives as you would expect of a 59 model. Please call 417-428-3663 with questions."

You are viewing a 1959 GMC dually flatbed finished in Chevy trim. I know to the purist that putting Chevy emblems on a GMC simply would not be proper but if you can get past that I believe you will see a beautiful old truck in era correct trim that is simply wonderful to look at. The pictures are recent and represent the truck well. As far as I can tell everything on the truck is original or era correct including all running parts, gauges, glass, motor, transmissiom and wheels. Lights, instruments, horn and heater work. Truck starts, runs, drives, and stops as a big old 59 should so please keep that in mind if you are not familiar with this type of truck. There is no power steering or brakes, no AC and no radio. Driving this truck is an experience from the past and having expectations of modern truck performance will leave one disappointed and is not really fair to the truck as I say it runs like it should for a 1959. The truck has been professionally and tastefully painted in a Peach base and cream roof and wheels. Original seat, headliner and visor have been professionally covered as well. The fuel tank is new but for some reason the fuel gauge always reads full. The 7.00 x 18 tires are mounted on split rims showing about 50% tread but are significantly weather checked and I would not advise travelling to far from home on them. Other than tires the truck does not need any immediate attention and is ready to enjoy as is. Please call with any questions at 417-428-3663

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
