1953 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 Ton Pickup

This little looker is a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 custom build restoration. Originally from California the interior and the exterior have been redone with several added features all on the original frame. All new glass. Its painted flat black with wonderful green and creme pin striping that accent the hood, headlights, door handles, dash, and tail gate of the truck. The front bumper is a custom piece, the rear deck below the tailgate has been modified for aesthetics. The wooden bed has been refreshed. The rear fenders are mini-tub in the box to help fit wider tires. The gas tank is a 10 gallon spun aluminum tank that has been relocated to the bed.

It sports a Heidts Mustang II front end with Heidts tubular upper and lower control arms. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, with an S10 Disc rear end. New rubber all around on Southern Mint* painted Chevy rally rims with beauty rings and center caps. It has been fitted with a modern dual compressor air ride suspension system front, back, side to side from AirBagIt. It has 6 Sromberg carburetors that feed a 348 chevy block with 7,400 original miles. The engine was pulled from a 1958 fire truck and all of the accessories were replaced brand new. There is a pair of Sanderson block hugger headers, which flow through a set of flow masters out the rear end. The engine is mated to a rebuilt Turbo 350 3 speed transmission, with a Lokar shifter on the floor. The truck has all new wiring from speedway.

The interior has been completely redone with custom upholstery on the seat, door cards, shifter boot, and visors. It features a beautiful dashboard out of a 1953 Pontiac Chieftain with custom pin stripping on the dash panel. The steering wheel is originally from a 1958 Buick Roadmaster. There has been hundreds of hours and fistful's of money put into this. Fortunately for you, the seasons are changing and its time for me to put the money from this truck into another restoration project.

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.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
