General Description
This is a 1949 chevy 3100 3 window cab with a 1974 Camaro, we bought a fully running Camaro to build this truck we used everything possible out of the doner car to get this truck upgraded to power steering, power brakes, disk brakes in front. The truck came from a small town called Cuba in northern New Mexico from an old man on a small property in town he had lost the title and so when I researched it, it was totally out of the system he said it had been parked since the 70s. So the local MVD has no record of it. This is a poor mans truck or poor boy style with the original swamp cooler and jerry can we even have an old aftermarket heater that came with the truck which will also be included. 

RUST 
The trucks main rust issue was in the front cab corners. We decided to leave this truck as it was when we pulled it out of the field but we also wanted to make it fully functional so the outer cab corner skins were left as is but the floor was repaired and is now very solid the truck has its natural surface rust throughout the body also the bed has rust in the rear bed pillar corners behind the taillights.

ENGINE
This was the original engine out of the 74 Camaro numbers matching original two barrel carburetor has very good compression car ran rough when was purchased it, needed new wires and plugs and it ran very strong after some tuning was done then we were able to drive the car with no problem.
Has a HEI distributor new intake, valve cover, and oil pan gaskets as far as the millage on the engine its is unknown.

TRANSMISSION
Equipped with a turbo 350 short tail shaft ran great but was not shifting into 3rd gear so we had it rebuilt  

SUSPENSION
1974 Camaro subframe with disk brakes, power steering, power brakes, and air bags. Rear suspension is also out of the Camaro 10 bolt and leaf springs C-notched with air bags over rear axle. The complete truck came off the frame in order to make the modification more easier and accurate this truck is squared and modified correctly (SEE OUR PREVIOUS BUILDS TOWARDS BOTTOM)  This is not our first build.

AIR RIDE SYSTEM
This is a very simple system consisting of 1 Viair compressor, one 5 gallon tank, 4 AirSlammit dumps that are controlled by two switches in the dash. 1 front up and down and 1 rear up and down. pressure switch is a 140 psi on and 180 off. System operates only when key switch is on

WIRE HARNESS & ELECTRICAL
Everything is powered by the Camaro wire harness the following circuits are operational. Fuel gauge, dash lights, running lights, high beams, taillights, stop lights, turn signals, four way flashers, dome light oil pressure coolant temperature and cigarette lighters. Non working components are windshield wipers speedometer and grille parking lamps

INTERIOR
We also decided to keep the original patina in the interior and just added the door panels and kick panels no head liner. The seat is the rear seat from the Camaro and was modified to fit the original seat frame but sits lower and more comfortable than the original. New carpet with padding underneath 

GLASS 
We have installed a new windshield glass along with new rubber the driver side is not cracked but is old the passanger and rear glass is cracked

HOW DOES IT RIDE?
Breaks have excellent response engine is strong transmission is smooth and can cruise 80 down the highway no problem. The ride can be bumpy or very bouncy if air is not adjusted right. especially since there are no shocks on the truck. She is fast for a two barrel and not as fuel hungry and can still burn rubber.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

GM delays 3.0-liter Duramax diesel in Silverado and Sierra pickups

Thu, May 23 2019

Stricter testing protocols around the world are making it harder for automakers to predict launch timelines. GM is the latest to get caught in emissions nettles, the Detroit carmaker forced to delay the launch of its new Duramax 3.0-liter inline-six diesel for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. That's what company reps told dealers in a memo seen by Automotive News this week. Dealers and buyers had been promised the Flint, Mich.-built oil-burner in early 2019, but AN wrote that the EPA certification hiccup has turned into a "slight delay." A GM spokesman told Motor1, "[We] did not attribute [the delay] to a single entity, as the truth is this is a collaborative effort between GM and several government entities. We will make the 2020MY Duramax available for dealers orders soon, and expect to deliver the first trucks to customers soon after emissions testing is complete." We know the new 3.0-liter Duramax diesel has 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, outdoing Ford's 3.0-liter PowerStroke diesel by 27 hp and 20 lb-ft. But without final EPA paperwork, GM can't release the numbers that will show how the two engines stack up when considering fuel economy and tow ratings. The certification process has been sticky for a few other makers of late, especially since the Volkswagen Group situation in 2015. BMW had to delay the launch of four diesel models in 2016 over EPA testing. The new Ram 1500 dribbled out in a trickle last year for reasons thought to deal with EPA testing, coming as it did a year after the EPA investigated Ram's EcoDiesel engines in 2017 and 2018. More recently, WLTP testing in Europe caught out just about every automaker over there. Since we're almost halfway through 2019, the delay until the 2020 model year is only a few months. Still, GM told dealers to cancel any orders for the engine for this model year. Dealers will need to resubmit the orders once opening begins, but GM hasn't said when production will begin other than "soon." The company said that it will offer 2020-model-year replacement vehicles to customers and dealers. If prices hold into the next model year, the 2020 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 with the inline-six diesel will come at a $3,890 premium over the 2.7-liter turbo four-cylinder, and a $2,495 premium over the 5.3-liter V8.

Weekly Recap: The implications of strong new car sales

Sat, Jun 6 2015

New car sales are on a roll in the United States this year, and analysts are optimistic the industry will maintain its torrid pace. Sales increased 1.6 percent in May and reached an eye-popping seasonally-adjusted selling rate of 17.8 million, the strongest pace since July 2005, according TrueCar research. That positions the industry for one of its strongest years ever, as consumer confidence, low interest rates, low fuel costs, and an influx of new products propel gains. In addition to the positive economic factors, May also featured warmer weather across much of the US, an extra weekend, and it came on the heels of relatively weak April sales. Analysts suggest income tax refunds and the promise of summer driving and vacations also traditionally help May sales. "While 2015 will be one of the best years in the history of the US industry, in some ways it may be the very best ever," IHS Automotive analyst Tom Libby wrote in a commentary. "Not only are new vehicle registration volumes approaching the record levels of the early 2000s, but now registrations and production capacity are much more closely aligned so the industry is much more healthy." Capacity, an indicator of the auto sector's health, is also expected to grow. Morgan Stanley predicts it will eventually hit at least 20 million units per year, as many companies, including General Motors, Ford, Tesla, and Volvo are investing in new or upgraded factories. "The best predictor of US auto sales is the growth in capacity, and frankly, we're losing count of all of the additions – there's literally something new and big every week," Morgan Stanley said in a research note. Transaction prices, another telling indicator, also continue to show strength. They rose four percent in May to $32,452 per vehicle, and incentives dropped $10 per vehicle to $2,661, TrueCar said. "New vehicle sector and segment preference indicates consumers are confident about the economy and their finances," TrueCar president John Krafcik said in a statement. Still, Morgan Stanley noted the robust sales did little to immediately impact automaker stock prices and suggested it might be a prime time to sell if sales reach the 18-million pace. "Perhaps the biggest reason may be that investors have seen this movie before," the firm wrote.
