Up for sale at no reserve is my 1948 5 window Chevrolet pickup. It is a 3/4 ton with a steak bed that pulls out with ease. I have owned this truck for 17 years which 15 of those years it sat in a driveway after I had the motor tuned up and the interior redone in a saddle tan leather. This is an original AZ truck that has zero rust or cancer on the entire vehicle and that is after it sat outside for 15 years with rain and sun hitting it. A year ago with some hesitation I decided I wanted to get the truck running again but was terrified of how much money I would have to put in it again. After 4 new tires, fresh gas, oil & filter, new fuel pump, master cylinder and a battery it started right up and has been running the same ever since. The glass in all 5 windows is original and the dash is all intact, the cigarette lighter is still there. As you know there is no power steering which gives you some muscular arms and shoulders. All the lights work even the dome light. The only thing I have noticed is the rear lights work sometimes and don't work other times, obviously a loose connection somewhere but the brake lights work perfectly. The 6 cylinder motor is the only thing that isn't original the guy I bought it from put a 235 6 cylinder motor out of a GMC of the same period. It is a 4 speed with 1st gear being a granny gear. I just recently put new oak in the bed as well as sanded and stained the stake bed. I cheated when I did the bed by using a full piece of stained oak instead of buying the planks. I did however keep the original metal strips to divide the bed which I sanded and painted. I put everything back with all new hardware so it would last a long time and look better. I also have the original rear bumper as well as the sun visor, the only thing keeping me from putting it on is the center bracket that connects the visor to the center piece of the windshield. The speedometer stopped working just recently but I will assume that is an easy fix. This is a great running truck that doesn't smoke one bit and is very close to original. Yes it does leak a little oil but I mean a little. Thanks for taking a look and good luck.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
