This listing is for my 1946 Chevrolet pickup truck, 1/2 ton. It's in excellent, basically original, condition. It's a 6 cylinder, 3-speed transmission. It starts and runs well, seems to hold good oil pressure too. It's unrestored, has been painted at some time in its history. It's been converted to 12 volt from the original 6 volt, starts right up easily. Has all glass in it, windshield does need replacing - crack on one side, discolorations on the other. Tires are good, battery is good, body is good. Fenders are really good - best I've ever seen on one of these. Hood is straight, doors are clean and straight, box is ok for a driver but would need work for show - does have some extra holes drilled here and there plus small dents. Tailgate is solid but dented - replacements are reasonable. Brakes could use some work, they do lose fluid over time. Last owner said it tends to overheat but I've not driven it enough to tell, I've driven it around the neighborhood without problem but haven't hit the highways with it due to brakes.
I think it's a nice old truck, probably nearly completely solid - I don't see any rust or rust hole repairs, cab floor is excellent too. I suppose some pinholes could show up if it were sandblasted but right now it looks very, very solid. It's not from the Midwest but not sure where it's from.
If you ever wanted a nice clean truck to either drive as is with minimal work or to restore, this may be one of the best you could find! If you want to see it for personal inspection, that would be fine.
It was purchased to do a full body-off restoration, I've done several others like this one and this is definitely the best I've had for a starting point, but I purchased a 1929 car and have decided to restore that instead. Parts for these are readily available, I've been using Jim Carter's truck parts and definitely have been pleased.
Truck can be stored for 30 days after auction if paid in full, shipping arrangements completely up to the buyer, I'm not a dealer, just a hobbyist that enjoys new projects.
Actual mileage unknown but the ebay listing format requires a number so I entered an arbitrary number, not actual mileage.
Paint is quite faded and does have some peeling and blisters, still looks somewhat presentable though!

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There'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.
