This is my driver quality  1951 Chevrolet 3600! This restomod has all original Sheet metal aside from the front of the bed. It has been equipped with some nice new age additions. With the stance it drives and feels more like a Chevy 3100 but with the harder to find 3600 titling. It does have a clear title in my name. The paint is metallic midnight blue and It was painted in sections and not as just a overcoat on top of assembled metal. Every piece was painted individually. It is not a show car that is 10/10 for every aspect, But with that said, this is a driver truck that I am not selling for 45k. This is a truck you can drive and enjoy.  “ I don’t want a gun I can’t shoot, or a truck I cant drive”. The grill, running boards, fenders, hood and tailgate are all original and there is no fiberglass anywhere on this truck. All Rot has been cut out patched appropriately 

 The motor is a 235 inline 6 that is in excellent shape from a 1954 Chevy when pulling the engine code and it is still a 3 speed manual transmission from the factory. It does have a Rochester B Carb that has been rebuilt with a brand new choke cable. The distributer was rebuilt and works great

As you can see in the pictures truck has been upgraded with a front end disk brake kit that is brand new including brake lines and it has been converted to Chevy 5 lug in the front and 74 Chevy Nova in the rear. The driveshaft has been modified to work with the nova rear end as well. Brand new shocks as well.

 Even though it has a retrofitted rear end I purchase a Lokar E-brake conversion cable kit that hooks up the original parking brake setup to this rear end. You will NOT find many older trucks with working parking brake cables like this one. it is hooked up. needs to be adjusted but installed.

It has a brand new 2 Bore brake master cylinder with prop valve as well. No more unsafe 1 bore master cylinder. All of the brake line has been converted to nickel copper brake line as well.

The gauges are original and aside from running lights are not hooked up at this time. , but the car is sitting on a brand new 12 volt harness and ignition switch for that modern charge and convenience. I also added turn signal switch to this truck so you can have some modern convenience in a old time ride. Brand new tail lights with incorporated license plate bracket for that nice clean look

It also has a brand new complete wood bed kit that includes wood, bolts, angle bars, and metal slats. And bed blocks. The wood has been Minwax polyurethaned to keep it looking awesome for years to come. I have also created a Wood Bed Rail Kit that is Minwaxed to match the wood Bed that I find very sharp looking.

Sitting on a brand new set of 17x7 inch Riddler rims and tires.

Black Seat on Original frame in Very nice shape. It also has a Original Steering wheel, Radio bezel, and glove box. New headliner, door panels, speedo cable, turn signal switch, headlights, headlight bezels and gaskets, wiring harness, shifter head, and tail lights.

 

Another perk is all of the glass has been removed and replaced with new original style green tinted glass. The headliner is brand new, and so are the door panels.

Gas tank is original style and is brand new. No rusty gas in this bad boy. Inside and outside are all painted midnight metallic blue and the frame is painted black

I have put allot of love time and money into this truck and I am sad to see it go, but as life throws us curveballs it is just one of those things that has to happen.

There are a few things you can add yourself to spruce it up, but I have decided to leave off due to me needing to sell it. :

gauges need to be hooked up to work, horn doesn't work, there is no exhaust. there Is a pipe that goes  from exhaust to bottom of truck, but that's it . there are runs in the paint. paint is a 7/10 shape in my opinion

Obviously this is a classic truck and is sold As IS Where is.. But you will not be disappointed in this buy.

You must arrange the transportation and pay for that yourself, but I will assist the delivery company with loading if they require it.

This is a great truck.  I hope it sees allot of road time because old trucks are meant to be driven, not stored. 

 I can purchase and install a new aftermarket gauges if that is a major deal breaker, but I will go up on the sales price.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
