Due to some unforeseen financial problems I am forced to sell my 1941 Chevy pickup that I've been working on for some time.
 
In 1941 Chevrolet made two 3/4 ton trucks...the heavy duty 3/4 ton and the light duty 3/4 ton.
 
This is the light duty which is basically a 1/2 ton long bed with a little heavier suspension.
 
This is the same wheelbase as the heavy duty but has the 6 lug wheels and 11 inch brakes..the heavy duty had larger brakes and 8 lug wheels.

Truck has open drive shaft whereas the 1/2 ton had the enclosed Torque tube drive shaft.
 
This truck is very straight with hardly any rust through ( just a little in the bottoms of the doors) and about 95% complete...missing some minor things like air cleaner, tail light, and light switch.

Milage listed is what shows on speedometer but actual milage is unknown.

Gauge cluster is complete and the gauges that are hooked up (oil and temp) both work...rest haven't been hooked up yet so may/may not work.
 
When I bought this it was pulled from a shed that was falling down around it. (see last picture) Since then I have done quite a bit of work to it and bought several parts for it.
 
Things I've done to it so far:
Seat has been reupholstered,
Brakes repaired...rebuilt master cylinder, new wheel cylinders on all four wheels, new brake shoes front and rear, new rubber brake hoses front and rear, two new steel brake lines.
New exhaust pipe, muffler , and tail pipe.
New distributor cap, plugs, plug wires, points, condenser.
Rebuilt starter.
New wiring harness (not installed, still in the package)
New 6 volt battery.
New radiator hoses.
New fan belt
Engine has all new seals and gaskets installed..(after reinstalling the engine, it is leaking oil when it runs...I think I might have let the oil pan gasket move when I installed it but haven't gotten around to checking it out.
Engine starts and runs good but has some blow-by and the tappets rattle a little.
 
Doors open and close good, windows both roll up and down.
Door glasses and rear window are both good...no glass in windshield but inexpensive flat glass.
 
No rust in floorboard or wiper panel above windshield.
Frame is rust free.
 
Overall this truck is straight and pretty much complete. Just about everything left to do to it is cosmetic.
Entire front clip..fenders, hood, grille and lights are in good shape.
Running boards need very little and are not rusted out.
Bed panels are straight as is the front panel, even the original tailgate is very restorable.
Bed floor is steel.
Right rear fender needs a little welding but is better than most I've seen.
Left rear fender needs very little work.

As you can see in the pictures, I do not have the original wheels...they were not with it when I bought it.  Tires are old but hold air and can be used until correct wheels & tires are installed.

I have a clear Missouri title in my name.
 
Truck yard drives but I have not taken it out on the street.
Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing looked good when
I had the engine out so I didn't replace them.
All of the gears work...granny low and second have the old truck 4-speed growl.
 
Look at the pictures and bid accordingly.
 
I'd really like to keep this truck but that isn't financially possible right now.

Truck is located in Westphalia MO 65085 (central Missouri about 15 miles southeast of Jefferson City)
 
Truck is sold as is with low reserve...reserve is set below what I can part it out for and considerably less than I've already invested in it.
 
Shipping is the buyers responsibility.. I can help with the loading.
 
$500 down payment to be made through Paypal within 48 hours of  auction ending, balance to be paid in cash when Item is picked up.
 
Truck to be picked up within one week of auction end unless other arrangements are approved by seller prior to auction end.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Camaro chief: 'rock-star' 4-cylinder set for Mustang fight

Wed, Jul 8 2015

It was inevitable, the 2016 Chevy Camaro had to have a four-cylinder engine. The archrival Ford Mustang packs a spunky 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-banger, and everyone from BMW to Subaru uses four-cylinders to great effect to power their sports cars. Now it's Chevy's turn. Again. The Camaro ran the infamous Iron Duke four-cylinder with 88 to 92 horsepower in the 1980s. It was a fuel-economy play at a time when performance was not a priority. After the 1970s muscle-car era, output even for the V8s didn't top 200 hp again until the mid-'80s. Thankfully for enthusiasts, things have changed dramatically in the last 30 years. The gen six Camaro will offer a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder with 275 horsepower. It's the standard engine, slotting below the 335-hp V6 and the 455-hp V8. But don't mistake the new I4 for an Iron Duke encore. Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser called it a "rock star" and said cars equipped with it feel lighter than V6 models. The four-cylinder (295 pound-feet at 3,000-4,500 rpm) also summons more torque in quicker fashion than the V6 (284 lb-ft at 5,300 rpm). Chevy expects the Camaro to hit 60 miles per hour in "well under six seconds," according to press materials. The Mustang EcoBoost (310 hp, 320 lb-ft) clocks times in the low to mid five-second range. "We're not doing it just so we have one," Oppenheiser said. "We're not doing it because like in gen three you're forced to do it because of fuel economy. We're doing it because it belongs in the car. It has a distinct character." Speaking with Autoblog recently at the Detroit Grand Prix racecourse on Belle Isle, Oppenheiser said he expects the I4 to attract a younger crowd to the Camaro and will put up stiff competition against the V6 for sales. "I've read blogs where younger folks won't buy a Camaro because it doesn't have a 2.0-liter turbo or a turbocharged four-cylinder," he said. "So we're going to excite them." While we talked a lot about four-cylinder engines, Oppenheiser also elaborated on the V6 (It's pretty damn good, too. We drove it.) and the new Alpha platform that the Camaro borrowed from Cadillac. Here's the rest of our edited conversation. Autoblog: Talk a little bit about the four-cylinder – the first turbo four-cylinder ever for Camaro. Do you have any idea what the take rate's going to be? Al Oppenheiser: I think it's going to surprise a lot of people. It's actually a fun car to drive. It's got a really good balance of turbo noise and exhaust note.
