1949 Chevy truck. Shortbed 3100 on a 1994 Silverado Frame. Truck has power steering, tilt column, power brakes, front disc brakes. New shocks, 350 chevy engine with Holley 600 four barrell carb. Steel headers and dual exhaust ran to the rear of the cab with two thrush mufflers. This truck runs and drives great. The frame and drivetrain came out of a silverado with less than 80k miles on it. Runs like a bear! Has new aluminum radiator with electric fan. AC compressor is still on the engine for anyone who wants to add air. The frame swap was done right. As you can see in the pics, the truck has a ton of new parts. Im not going to go through and make a list. Has all new glass and rubbers, upgraded to electric windshield wiper motor. Has bi-xenon headlights. All the lights work including turn signals. Seat is newly recovered with genuine leather The dash has been customized to fit a kenwood dvd/ navigation stereo. It is not currently installed or included. Rear speakers are wired and installed. I can include and install the stereo/gps for an additional $550 if the buyer choses to do so. Paint is only a few months old. Color is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl. Its a great looking paint job, but it is not show quality or flawless. Bed rails and bed floor are stained and varnished oak. Wheels are 15 inch with new tires. Has new gauges that are all operational including electronic speedometer. I have only put a few miles on the truck as of today, but I will be driving it all week to work out any possible small problems like squeaks or rattles. Right now the truck needs a few minor details to be taken care of including front end alignment, carb adjustment (new), and some detailing. Any questions, call me at 570-299-1755. Truck has a clear 1949 FL title in my name ready for transfer. I would consider a partial trade on a 1930-1954 chevy truck project with cash. Nothing else. This is a big boy toy, so check with your wife, your mother, your dog, or whoever you need to before you bid. Call me with any reasonable offers, but dont call me to ask how much I want.

I can help arrange transport if needed.

My pics were taken while the truck was still a little dusty and dirty. I will get more on during the auction

On Apr-22-14 at 13:00:00 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a few more pics now that the truck is clean. Had a front end alignment done today and drove it around to get a few more miles on it. Ive had a ton of questions about the truck. The frame is a complete frame swap. Not a partial clip. Its a full size shortbed 94 silverado under the 49 body. It drives just like a 94 silverado. It drives great. It needs a few small things to be complete. Nothing major. It needs carpet. Right now the floor is sprayed with truck bedliner and mostly covered with sound deadening material as you can see in the pics. The drivers window rolls up and down but it needs adjustment, or a new regulator. It works but its a little grumpy. I have a few people coming by for test drives tomorrow and Thurs. I will likely have the truck at the Good Guys show in Kissimmee FL on friday or saturday.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

GM ending stop-sale order on heavy-duty trucks

Tue, Apr 26 2022

General Motors responded to an inquiry from Autoblog regarding a stop-sale order on its full-size heavy-duty pickup trucks. Here's GM's official statement. GM is committed to building the highest quality products possible. We paused delivery on a small number of HD pickups with the 6.6 liter Duramax engine last week to finalize an investigation into a potential quality issue. The investigation has been completed and the stop sale will be lifted for the small number of vehicles at dealerships.Customers can be assured GM’s heavy duty pickups are covered by a 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. The original article continues below. General Motors has reportedly sent its Chevrolet and GMC dealers a stop-sale order that applies to some examples of the 2022 Silverado HD, the 2022 Silverado MD, and the 2022 Sierra HD. The units affected by the stop-sale order may develop an engine-related problem. Citing anonymous sources, website GM Authority wrote that the Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 in the affected trucks can hydrolock, which means liquid could enter the cylinders and cause a substantial amount of damage. The report does not specify where the liquid would come from; hydrolocking can happen by driving through a deep puddle of water, for example, but a large amount of coolant can cause it as well. The publication adds that the stop-sale order was assigned internal reference number N222362910. It also notes that the trucks included in it can't be sold, delivered to buyers, traded with another dealer, sent to auction, or even used for demonstration purposes until further notice. Earlier in April 2022, GM Authority reported that General Motors planned to buy back an unspecified number of Silverado HD and Sierra HD trucks due to quality-related issues with the 6.6-liter V8. Details about the problems experienced by customers haven't been released; all we know is that each truck will be replaced, though the replacement may not have the same equipment due to the ongoing chip shortage.

Bob Lutz builds the case for a mid-engined Corvette

Fri, Jan 16 2015

Rumors of a mid-engine Corvette are like automotive industry folklore at this point. Every once in a while, news pops up that it might be happening or is under development, but nothing actually ever comes to fruition as something people can actually buy. The latest spy shots strongly suggest a mid-engine 'Vette is in the cards, yet again, possibly for 2018. Now, an op ed by former General Motors executive (and definite performance car fan) Bob Lutz in Road & Track gives the inside scoop on the history of one of these proposals and lays out how to make it happen today. According to Lutz, the company's engineers believed the C6 ZR1 was at the limit for front-engine, rear-wheel drive performance in that package, and the only solution was to move the powerplant behind the driver. Lutz even got then CEO Rick Wagoner on board. The scheme made it at least as far as clay models for mid-engine versions of the 'Vette and Cadillac XLR. Eventually, a lack of money got in the way, though, bringing the project to an end. Lutz puts a lot of faith in GM's current leaders, especially Mary Barra and Mark Reuss. He thinks the chances of a mid-engine 'Vette happening this time are better than 50 percent. The model, rumored to be named Zora, could offer over 700 horsepower in an ultra lightweight body and be priced at about $120,000 to "suck the doors off everybody." Head over to Road & Track to get some insights from this highly respected and entertaining auto industry veteran. Related Video:
