1952 Chevrolet Short Bed Step Side Truck Restored Street Rod on 2040-cars
Ramona, California, United States
This is a great little short bed pickup. It is very reliable, quick, and fun to drive. I have owned it over ten years and just kept improving it over the years. The color is a BMW Boston Poly metallic green. A list of the improvements is as follows: · The front suspension is a Mustang II installed by A1 Engineering and is fully rebuilt with new bushings and ball joints · Power rack and pinion steering · Huge sway bars front and back · Front disc brakes · Engine is a 350 Chevy with Vortec heads and an Erson cam. New HEI distributor and wires. · Desert Cooler radiator · The truck was completely rewired and a fuse box installed. · Halogen headlights. · New Battery · Transmission is a Turbo 400 · The rear end is a Ford 9 Inch · The chrome is excellent except for the front grille which is starting to show age. · Wheels are American Racing · The gauges are Stewart Warner and all work, as do the lights, turn signals; etc.. · New glass and window rubber. · The Oak bed was refinished at one time but needs refinished. The underside of the bed is perfect, so you may be able to just flip the boards over. · Airbrushed smoothie tailgate with Chevy emblem. · Custom rear lower light panel for the rear lights. · California truck · The truck was disassembled and stripped to the bare metal, painted, and reassembled. I have several restoration photos and have included a few. It does need a few things maintained or finished, such as, the power rack and pinion weeps a little and the truck does not have a radio or a wiper motor. The clear coat on the paint is peeling on some panels. It was under a tarp and the heat affected some paint, like the hood and the top where the tarp rested on it. Great truck! |

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone 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.
