1946 CHEVY HOT ROD PICKUP

This is one super cool truck. It's professionally built all the way, and is not one of these deathtraps that people seem to be calling a rat rod these days. This truck is one of a kind, with a well thought out build, and lots of money and time put into it. It wasn't thrown together with junky swapmeet and junk yard parts. Most everything except the body and accent pieces were new, but made to look like a 50 year old hot rod. If that's your definition of a rat rod, then this is it. This truck will hold it's own and draw a crowd at any car show or anywhere you park it.

I drive it all over, I haul my wife and kids around in it, and I never worry about safety issues or having it break down on me. You could fly in from anywhere and drive it home. I have a few old cars, and when I want to jump in one and go, and not worry about whether or not it will start or give me issues, this is the one I get in.

The truck has lots of awesome pinstriping done by Skratch, who you may have seen on Overhaulin'. He was on that show for about 4 years and does a lot of stuff for Chip Foose and a lot of high end cars all over.

I absolutely hate to sell it, but I have a new project to build and I need to sell it to make a parking space.

 

Now the details:

The cab is a 1946 Chevy pickup, unchopped, but channeled over the frame. My buddy who did the build is about 6'4" and fits in it comfortably. I'm 5'9" and have tons of room. The bed is a 1953 Chevy pickup bed that has been shortened and narrowed with a removable metal framework/ wood floor. The grille is a 1935 Chevy.

The doors have been completely gone through, dynamatted, everything in them rebuilt, new glass, new felt, etc.

The front windshield regulator has been rebuilt and the windshield cranks out great. The cowl vent has been rebuilt and works great too.

There is an awesome stereo under the seat that works off of your ipod, phone, mp3, or whatever you want to plug up to it.

Gauges are in the glove box. No speedometer. The cops are too blown away by how cool it is to worry about how fast you are going.

The seat is awesome. Black with red "ostrich" inserts. And seat belts.

Front and rear glass are cracked, spiderwebbed, have a bullet hole or two, and are original like we found it. They are too cool to replace with new glass.

 

Drivetrain:

Super solid 350. 010 4 bolt block..Not radical, but fast, loud, reliable, and looks great. Old school high rise 2 4 barrel edelbrock intake with 2 660 center squirter Hollys, custom ordered as a matching pair in the late 60's and treated to a high dollar rebuild job a few years back.

Custom ordered lake style headers with flame throwers. Yep, they work. I also have 2 other really cool sets of exhaust that were custom built for it that I will throw in.

350 Turbo with 2500 stall.

Rear end is 9" Ford with 3.08 gears and a spool. Four link set up with coilovers.

Disc Brakes on all 4 corners.

Fuel cell under the bed. Receiver hitch if you want to haul a trailer!

 

The frame is 2x4 rectangular tubing, built right. It sits right and is super low, but doesn't bottom out ever.

Chrome dropped I-beam front axel, hairpin radius rods, new reversed corvair steering box.

Wide whitewalls all the way around. Radials on the front, FIRESTONE DRAGSTERS on the rear.

 

This truck is a blast to drive. Rolls down the highway at 85 with one finger on the wheel. Runs good, stops good, and handles good. Doesn't roadwalk, goes straight, doesn't rattle. It's tagged and has a clear title in my name.

It is located in Athens, Texas and I encourage anyone who is seriously interested to come see it in person.

As it is an "old car" it will be sold "as-is, no warranty". $1000 deposit is due by wire transfer or paypal within 24 hours of auction ending, and the balance within 5 business days--wire transfer or cash. I will gladly help coordinate with a shipper if needed.

I'm not interested in any trades because the only reason I'm selling this is that I need the room. Like I said, It's a great vehicle and I don't want to part with it.

Thanks for looking! Please contact me if you have any questions.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war

Mon, Jun 4 2018

Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
