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.

How easy is it to rebuild a Chevy small block V8?

Sat, Mar 21 2015

Chevrolet's famous small block V8 stands as one of the workhorse engines in American auto history, with its variants going into vehicles from hot rods to pickup trucks. But do you know that you can fully disassemble and completely restore one of these mills in just under four minutes? Well, as long as there's some assistance from time-lapse photography, that is. Hagerty created this short clip showing a dirt-covered small block turning from a frog into a prince. Thankfully, the time-lapse doesn't speed the process up too much, and it's still easy to see how all of the principal parts fit together. With all sorts of sensors and software helping to drive the modern automobile, viewing the internal combustion engine in its purely mechanical form is still fascinating. Related Video:

2016 Chevrolet Volt First Drive

Fri, Oct 2 2015

There's a hit vehicle hiding in GM's formula for the Chevy Volt. You can sense it in the enthusiasm that current Volt drivers have for their cars. You can see it in the amount of money GM has poured into its extended-range electric vehicle project. And perhaps most importantly, you can feel it from the driver's seat of the new, second-gen model. The big question is whether or not GM will be able to turn its much-hyped 'halo car' into a best-seller this time around. After driving it in northern California, I can tell you that the Volt is tremendous. But we all know it takes more than that to create a hit. GM has so far sold over 82,000 Volts in the US. That's respectable, but in the early, glory days before the car launched, company representatives were talking about much more impressive numbers. With a few years to talk to customers and potential prospects, GM has learned a lot about what makes someone buy a Volt. For the 2016 model, Chevy has changed just about everything for the better. The new Volt has more all-electric range (53 miles vs. 38 in the first generation), is more fuel efficient whether you're looking at the overall value (106 combined MPGe vs. 98) or just when the car burns gas (42 miles per gallon vs. 37). All of that means that the car's overall range is bumped up to 420 miles, from 380. The battery is smaller and lighter while offering more energy capacity. The range-extending gas engine is bigger (1.5 liters vs. 1.4) but it's also more efficient and can burn regular gasoline instead of just premium. The Volt's overall range is bumped up to 420 miles, from 380. The cost is lower, too: $33,995 vs. $34,170, before incentives. This is a car that GM thinks will compete against the Toyota Priuses and Nissan Leafs of the world (as its new ads make abundantly clear). All three cars have completely different powertrains, but we all know that they're the headline green cars of our time (along with Tesla), so buyers will have to want to pony up a bit more money if they like what the Volt is offering. The 2016 Leaf with its 107-mile range starts at $37,640 (before incentives), while a 2015 Prius can be had for $25,035 (pricing for the 2016 has not yet been announced). So, on paper, the new Volt is an all-around winner. I'm here to tell you that it wins on the road, too. You can't help but notice the changes. They are literally front and center.
