For Sale is a 1954 Chevy truck I am selling for my girlfriend. Unfortunately it was her late husband's truck and a lot of the details have been lost with him. I have drove and inspected the truck and the following description is based on my knowledge and expertise in the automotive business.
The truck is originally from the south, very rust free.The body and paint work is about 10 years old and is very straight and shows well. Not perfect by any means but a very nice driver restoration. The frame was sandblasted and painted black. The truck has a front cross member and suspension from a late 50's or early 60's car. Coil springs and drum brakes with a manual steering gear. The motor is a 235 6 cylinder. Rebuilt carb and a recent tune-up. May be original? Not sure without checking numbers. Runs pretty well but struggles to exceed 45 mph. The transmission is a Saginaw 4 speed that is probably out of a Vega or Monza based on the shifter. The rear axle is a 10 bolt that looks to be out of a 70's car. All of the exterior chrome has been painted body color. Windshield is new as well as most of the seals and gaskets have also been replaced. The seat is out of a Toyota and sets a little low for my tastes but looks good in the truck. The braking system is still the original style manual 4 wheel drum brakes. The bed is the original wood for the truck, just refinished.
I will try to answer the questions you have the best I can. The truck is being sold because it is to painful for her to see and have around otherwise I would be keeping it. This is a must see truck, that with a few drive train and suspension upgrades would be a very nice truck.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
