1957 CHEVY 1/2 Ton Pickup
A Nice Survivor of its Era
Vin Body tag matches title

This truck is a good true survivor which sits straight and looks right.  It even has its original wiring that is NOT all butchered.  A great canidate for a complete restore or drive it now like it is.

This has an Original 235 6-cylinder motor (not 1957) that is a few years newer. However, if you are looking for the original motor that came out of this truck I do have it available. (see notes below on Original motor)

3-Speed transmission with overdrive. Shifts good. (see notes on transmission below)

This is not a shortbox or a longbox.  It is the in-between that most talk about that is used for the Cameo conversions. 48x90 on the interior.
New Doug fir wood in bed.

Glass is all new or good except the wing windows that have some bubbling.

Body looks like someone has done some restoration on it years earlier.  Hood has some bondo on it.  Any body work that was loose I removed the bondo.  .  Some rust in typical places.

Doors need adjusting as they sag some.  I think they need new hindge pins.

New Rebuilt seat

Windshield wipers work.  
All lights work.
Original gauges work except there is a hole in oil sending line, so it needs replaced.

New fuel tank and sending unit
New rebuilt carburator
Fresh tune up with new points, rotor, condenser, cap, wires and plugs.

New master cylinder. Brakes are a little soft. I think the wheel cylinders should be replaced eventually.
Needs heater core.

NOTES:
I also have the Original Motor - Needs rebuilt, good rebuilder with no ridge on cylinders, crank looks good, bearings look good, needs head gasket, rings are ceased from not being started in a lot of years.

Transmission- It is all there including the original wiring except theres a linkage that goes from the accelator petal to the transmission that is missing.  Should not be hard to find.

Actual mileage unknown on vehicle.

This vehicle runs awesome!

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla sells Model S 85 and 70D in Malaysia, Chevy Spark EV built using clean energy

Mon, May 18 2015

Tesla will send Model S 70D and Model S 85 EVs to Malaysia for leasing to government-linked companies. Only those companies will have access to the models as a two-year lease, which will be imported and leased by Malaysian Green Technology Corporation. The plan is part of an initiative by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water to allow government officials and other influential people to get to know the electric vehicles and the benefits that come along with them. Most of the 120 vehicles available will be the 70D model, and the lessee companies will have the option to purchase the cars at the end of the two years. Read more from Paul Tan's Automotive News.

NHTSA upgrades probe into 1.7 million GM vehicles over wiper failures

Tue, Dec 17 2019

WASHINGTON — The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Tuesday it is upgrading an investigation into 1.7 million General Motors vehicles for windshield wiper failures. The auto safety agency opened the probe in November 2018 to see if GM needed to expand a 2016 recall of 2013 model year Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain SUVs to cover additional vehicles. The engineering analysis probe covers 2010-2012 and 2014-2016 Equinox and Terrain vehicles. NHTSA could demand a recall after it completes the probe. NHTSA said it has reviewed 1,900 complaints and reports related to the issue in the 1.7 million vehicles. NHTSA said it has seen elevated failure rates in the 1.7 million vehicles, even though GM said the recalled vehicles have "double the warranty rate and five times the complaint rate." GM said it will "fully cooperate to support their investigation. We do not believe these windshield washer systems are defective." The wiper failures that prompted the 2016 recall were attributed to water and debris intrusion into the windshield wiper assembly ball joints, leading to excessive wear and eventual detachment of the ball joint. GM said it was installing an improved windshield wiper motor and transmission assembly and relocating a drain hole at the base of the windshield. Related Video:

GM invests $24 million to build more crew cab trucks in Fort Wayne

Thu, May 30 2019

The full-size pickup truck arms race continues unabated here in the United States as Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler battle back and forth for sales supremacy. The Ford F-Series of trucks continues to lead the field in sales (214,611 units sold through the first quarter of 2019), but the race for second place has been a lot more interesting to watch. That's because Ram, long a distant third in truck sales, eked its way past Chevrolet late in 2018 and has managed to hold the position so far in 2019. Don't take this to mean that sales of GM's trucks have been poor across the board. In fact, the automaker reports that sales of its four-door crew cab pickups are up 20 percent in 2019 over the same period a year ago. And that's what makes GM's announcement today so interesting. The automaker is investing $24 million into its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana to build more Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, and the focus will continue to be on crew cab models. "We are building Chevrolet and GMC crew cab pickups at record volume and mix levels to meet customer demand and the $24 million investment will allow us to build even more," said GM chief Mary Barra in a statement. "Crew cab sales have been very strong, and we are expanding customer choice with new models, more cab choices and innovative new powertrains." It's worth noting that, if crew cab sales are up 20% this year, but overall sales are down (over 15% for Silverado and around 2% for GMC), that means it's the cheaper regular cab and double cab models that are lagging. At the same time, sales of the midsize Chevy Colorado have surged 16%. And finally, if you combine sales of the Silverado and Sierra into one bucket, GM still has a comfortable lead over Ram overall. If there's a takeaway here, it's that trucks of all shapes and sizes have been, currently are and will surely remain hot in America, and automakers will continue to invest money into making sure they are able to satiate consumer demand.
