Family Emergency forces sale of all of my projects. This is a custom built 1955 chevrolet first generation pickup. The truck has many many options. It sits on a 83 s-10 frame with disc brakes front, drum rear. Frame was blasted and painted black. EVERYTHING on this truck is new except for the basic truck, and even that has alot of new. Starting with the cab, the inner and outer cab corners were replaced, along with both cowls and the lower pillars, all new. Doors were in good shape, but have new seals, along with new smoke glass, handles and locks. Dash gauges are new also. The engine is a 1984 small block chevy removed from a pickup that had only 43,000 miles and has been completely resealed and added a chrome oil pan, chrome overflow recovery tank,valve coveres, chrome hi amp alternator, billet pulleys, hei clear billet distributor, and chrome fuel pump. Also in the engine bay is a custom fitted aluminum racing radiator and an s-blade electric fan. The grill is a used custom fitted 1951 grill. There is also a new gas tank. The bed, even though these trucks came originally with pine beds, has a custom made spruce bed with new metal strips. I have a new front bumper, windshield and smoke rear glass that has yet to be installed. Tires are all new with used keystone classic wheels. New windshield wiper assembly / transmission arms. The wiring harnes is new but not installed yet. The only items off the top of my head remaining to be purchased is a starter, ignition wires, battery, a couple of battery cables, oil and antifreeze, exhaust, and fuel lines and some gas. This truck is almost finished, but family emergency makes it so I cant finish, but almost everything is there including the updated wiring harness with instructions, gray bench seat, front clear glass, rear smoke glass. Not included is a heater, or ac, (since the truck was mainly to drive during good weather only) glove box door, starter, and battery. The truck was painted with eastwoods rat rod satin black, and some small dents / dings were intentionally left in to give the truck a rat rod effect. New digital tail lights, peep mirrors, headlights and buckets, eyebrows, front turn signals, all interior door handles, arm rests / door pulls, headliner, and visors. I have well over 15K invested in this truck not to mention the time so far and hate to see it go, especially before I got to drive it.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
