1955 first series 1/2 ton, purchased new at Theo Money Chevrolet here in Waldron, I am the fifth owner. This truck is very solid, has accumulated a few "beauty marks" and the perfect surface patina that only time can produce, but in my opinion is very straight for its age. It would be an easy restoration, or just enjoy it the way it is.
Engine - 235 inline six, starts and runs great, no smoke or leaks. I removed/cleaned the fuel tank, installed new sending unit, cleaned fuel line, installed new filler neck hoses, new filter, cleaned carburetor, installed new points/condenser, and battery. Needs new muffler/tail pipe.
Transmission - Clutch works great, transmission is quiet and shifts as it should. Very small leak on tail housing shaft where drive shaft yolk sips in (very easy fix, just install new seal).
Brakes - Stops ok, little soft. I have rebuilt the master cylinder. I would recommend to pull drums and inspect the shoes and wheel cylinders.
Body - Very solid. I pulled what was left of the floor mat out and cleaned and treated with POR-15, looks good. Cab corners have some rust bubbles coming thru. Body has a few dings here and there, the worst being a crease in front of driver's door on side cowl. Still has original wood in bed and solid for the most part. Grille is dented mainly on lower "bull nose." I installed new cowl vent rubber and drain hose. I also have the spare tire that will be included, I think it looks better without it.
Electrical - Converted to 12 volt, headlights, park lights, tail lights, brake lights, dash lights, dome light, and heater all work. All gauges work with the exception of fuel gauge.
Glass - Has all original glass, few glass bubbles around edges of door glass. Door glass rolls up and down with ease. Will need new window felts and rubber around doors and windshield.
Interior - Truck ordered with rare unison (ride control) seat. Still has most of the original cover, but needs to be redone. Needs headliner, door panels and floor mat. I installed new glove box liner. Dash is all "uncut" original and in great shape. Ignition key still fits glove box lock and door locks.
Feel free to contact me with any questions @ 479-207-2946, 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. CST or through Ebay messages. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will be happy to assist in loading. $500 deposit required within 24 hours of auction end, remainder of balance due within 7 days of auction end. Payment must clear before pickup. Thanks for looking!!

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
