 Selling My pride and joy. This truck was my friends truck and he passed away. Wouldn't be selling, but life gets in the way. This is a 1949 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton 5 window cab truck. It has a few personal touches, but mostly original. To start, it has a Chevrolet 350 sbc engine that starts and runs unbelievably well. It is still carbureted. Not sure on the specifics of the engine, but does seem like a small cam installed. He had the engine built by a shop, but have no info on it. The truck was a garage queen. It sat in his garage and was usually only driven on the weekends since the rebuild. It still has the original factory 4 speed manual transmission.

The rear tires are 275-60-15 and are like new. The fronts are 195-75-14, and are around 40%. It sits nice with this set up,  I was hoping to drop it down just a little. I believe the rear axle was out of a camero, but not positive. It does have the 5 bolt wheel pattern. Never had the chance to look into it yet. They are buick rims on this truck and I will include a spare buick rim also with the sale.

It will need brake work. I only drove it a short distance twice, and around the yard. Seems like the master cylinder will need to be replaced and brakes bleed. Yesterday when I drove it out of the barn, the pedal stuck at the floor. A friend told me that's typical of these cause the spring goes bad. I did find the rebuild kit on here for $17.95 plus shipping.  The headlights and brake lights work, but not the tail lights. Unfortunately I don't have the time and resources to fix this at the moment.

It has a new interior headliner. The door panels were redone in wood, and he made a speaker box between the seats out of wood also. Not the fanciest, but nice touch. This is a stereo delete truck, and is no stereo in it, but I will include one to the winning bidder if you meet my reserve. The seats are very nice bucket seats, maybe out of a camero, and look great and very confortable.

The exhaust is dual exhaust with glass packs and in good condition. It will need shocks.

The body is a ratrod style. It has its usual Wisconsin rust issues. Someone had done some repairs, but not professionally. I took some pics, so you can see for yourself. From what I can tell, the floors seem fine. It does have outdoor green nylon plastic carpet glued on the floor. Battery is brand new and still located in factory original place below the passenger floor pan. There is wood bolted to the running boards, after looking at them, they are rusted. They also put wood on each side of the bedsides, not sure why but at one point, they put some real time in the staining it all. Unfortunately, time has taken its toll and the clear is pealing off the wood.

This truck has always been my dream truck, but fell into my hands in a unfortunate situation. However, it will make someone a awesome fun project to tinker with and make it there own. The truck has a clear title. With a few hours of brake work, this truck can be your driver. Hate to see it go, but hard times have caught up to us. I reserve the right to end the auction early, the truck is for sale locally. The truck is being sold as is where is, and is available to inspect if you contact me. I will not ship, but will try to assist your shipper as much as possible but not guarantied. The buyer takes full responsibility for any and all shipping costs. There are no warranties or guaranties implied. Any questions, please feel free to contact me before bidding. Thanks and good luck. Cell 262-745-6353

Engine block heater issues force GM to recall 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks

Tue, May 7 2019

General Motors has issued a recall on 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks that could be susceptible to short circuits, and consequently, potential fire. The recall affects several models of heavy duty Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras with optional engine block heaters. GM is recalling seven different truck models spread across three years. The recall affects the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2017-2019 Silverado 3500HD, 2019 Silverado 4500HD, 2019 Silverado 5500HD, and 2019 Silverado 6500HD, plus the 2017-2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD and 2017-2019 Sierra 3500HD. Specifically, it includes these models with the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engines and the optional engine block heater. The recall technically deals not with the engine block heater itself, but the way it is connected. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V328000, the engine block heater cord or the terminals that link the cord to the heater could short circuit. A short circuit could potentially damage engine components and result in a fire. According to The Detroit News, 19 fires have been reported but nobody has been injured. GM has yet to figure out a fix, and thus has not yet released a notification schedule for affected customers. If you believe your vehicle is part of the recall, contact GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733 and use reference number N182206310.

Chevy updates Silverado HD with new towing equipment

Sun, Sep 27 2015

Enamored by the updated Chevy Silverado released just the other day, but need something a little more heavy duty? Chevy isn't going to keep you around waiting for long, as it has now revealed a new Silverado HD as well. While the new Silverado 1500-series has been distinguished over the outgoing version principally by its revised styling, the updated Silverado HD is more about its enhanced equipment. It's got a new Digital Steering Assist system (on some models) designed to enable easier and safer towing. There's a new gooseneck/5th-wheel trailer prep package that enables Chevy's new heavy duty truck to tow as much as 23,200 pounds. And the interior equipment is augmented as well by a new MyLink system with seven- or available eight-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, wireless phone charging and more. Buyers will be able to choose between two versions (2500HD and 3500HD), four trim levels, three cab sizes, two cargo box lengths, and numerous powertrain and drivetrain configurations for a staggering array of combinations. There'll also be several special editions and packages, like the Z71 for off-road use and Custom Sport Edition for a sleeker look, as well as chassis cab and CNG versions. Scope out the full details in the press release below and the fresh batch of images in the gallery above.

New Digital Steering Assist power steering on some double cab and crew cab models helps make hauling and trailering easier and more confident, with electronic controls that enhance road holding and stability on the highway – particularly on crowned roads – regardless of whether the truck is loaded. It also offers greater responsiveness and an improved steering feel. Digital Steering Assist is not available on Work Truck models or regular cab. There's also a new Gooseneck/5th Wheel Trailering Prep Package, with a spray-in bedliner, that makes Silverado HD models ready to tow larger trailers right from the factory.
