Just finished fresh rebuild on this cool looking 51 Chevy. Started with front end and cab, everything else is new or rebuilt. It took eight months to build and  turns heads every time you take it out.

I'm going to start from the ground up so I won't forget anything.

Frame is rust free - no patches or welds. Truck has new brake lines, new brake shoes, drums turned, and new springs and hardware. Also new wheel cylinders and master was rebuilt, brakes work great.

She has a 68 Camaro 12 bolt rear end (corporate). Drive shaft is new as are the u-joints. New Monroe shocks front and back.

Engine is 70 chevy 307 completely rebuilt with less than 100 miles on it.  New rings, heads rebuilt, new oil pump, has Chevrolet L-79 camshaft (same lift and duration) cam is Mellings . Intake is Edelbrock performer with an 1850 Holley 4-barrel (600cfm). New flex fan, water pump, fuel pump, starter, new points and condenser, new plug wires, new spark plugs, new motor mounts, and new air cleaner. Also all fuel, radiator, and heater hoses as well as trans. cooling lines are new.

Original radiator has been cleaned and restored and runs around 190 degrees with a 180 thermostat. Also has new transmission cooler.

Transmission is newly rebuilt turbo 350 with less than 100 miles on it. Also has new flywheel and torque converter.

Shifter is brand new Lokar with the tall handle.

New engine-to-frame mounts from Classic Truck  welded and bolted with new trans. mounts also.

Seat is completely rebuilt original with new material, padding and cover.

truck has original dash with new gauges and original speedo. New door panels and glove box.

New aftermarket heater and defroster and new 2 speed electric windshield wiper motor with new blades. Also has turn signals.

Truck has all new wiring harness and 12 circuit fuse box. Lights have been replaced and parking lights and tail lights have been converted to turn and brake.

New battery and new one wire alternator. She is now an all new 12 volt truck.

This is a rust free truck. Front and back fenders are original as is the grill, bumper, splash pan, radiator support and inner fender wells. Cab is all original with 1952 doors.  There are 2 or 3 Quarter size areas of light filler in doors for door dings, the rest of this truck is steel. We welded some splits in the rear fenders where they mount to the bed but we left all the dents in the rest.

The bed is mostly new as we didn't have one to start with. Cab end, both sides, wood, wood strips, and all cross sills are new, tailgate is original with new hinges.

Chevy steel wheels with baby moon hubcaps with new tires.

All new exhaust with side pipes.

She has all new glass and weather stripping- none around DS door.

Newly sealed gas tank with new steel line.

I don't care for the way these trucks look with the hood on them. However I have a hood with all the trim and hinges and springs that will go with the truck if the buyer so desires. Also have original sun visor if interested.

As you can see this is a very nice truck, lots of new with lots of original, lots of time and money invested. This truck turns heads whenever it gets out on the street. I wanted the rat look with the dependability of a solid truck that was sound mechanically.

Paint is Kustom Shop Hot rod Flatz. Single stage Urethane. Bed wood has three coats of truck bed liner on both sides

Also has new outside door handles and rear view mirror.

Need to sell this truck to fund future projects.  The reserve set is reasonable for what this truck is.  Email for any questions you may have.  Thank you for your interest in this truck, it really is nice and fun to drive.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
