1959 Chevy short wide bed big back window with chop top.I am listing this truck for a good friend of mine. He started building this truck in 2009. He spent 2 1/2 years building this truck. If you was to pay a shop to build this same truck you would spend around a $100,000.00 to $125,000.00 . The only thing he didnt have done on this truck was put Heat and A/C on it as he was only doing car shows with the truck and wanted a clean look under the hood with a smooth firewall. You can add vintage heat and a/c for not allot of money or time. The truck has had less than 1500 miles put on it since built. The only reason the truck is for sale is due to some health issues and he is no longer able to show the truck. The Body of the truck was a nice clean almost rust free truck when he started on it. The top is chopped 4 inches in the back and 5 inches in the front. All custom made glass with over $4000.00 spent on glass.Custom battery box in bed. The side trim was removed and did some custom work as you see in the pics. There is 100's of hours spent in black sanding a prepping this truck for paint not to mention the hours of blocking and sanding for the show buff on the paint. The truck is way over the top . Very nice does not even come close to describing the apperance of this truck. There was over 200 hours spent on the dash and interior paint on the truck. He planned on keeping this truck and spared no expense. Has remote poppers for the doors and has a saftey release in case you lose power. The interior of the truck has late model leather seats withe the driver side power and heated , no carpet , new headliner . Nice kenwood radio. Autometer guages with billet aluminum cluster. Gas gas does not work, needs looked at. There is a couple small spots on interior , one on top of passenger seat and the other on driver door panel where it shuts in jamb. These are the only flaw I seen. I have pictures of both. The Frame and running gear was built by another person and then purchased as a complete rolling unit. *Four link rear suspension with QA-1 coil over shocks *Roll control / rear sway bar *Aluminum fuel tank *4 wheel disc brakes *2 1/2 inch pipe with flowmaster mufflers *17" American Torq Thrust II wheels with Fuzion ZR1 Tires , 255/50/17 and 235/45/17 *Boxed frame with 1976 Nova front suspension , built with all new suspension parts *Ceramic coated headers *Aluminum radiator *Turbo 350 trans with B&M shift kit and small stall , all rebuilt or new *Flaming river stainless steel tilt steering column with custom steering wheel *New mini torque starter with heat shield and wrap. * Rebuilt 350 sbc bored 40 over , 4 bolt main ,Heads ported and polished ,Flat top hypereutectic pistons , roller rockers ,Edelbrock intake and carb ,Moroso high capacity oil pan , Moroso valve covers ,Accel HEI distributor , electric water pump and much more .

GM exploring ways to raise half-ton Duramax diesel tow rating
Sun, Nov 3 2019Lots of truck owners cheered when GM announced fuel economy numbers for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado with the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six. Even after Ram let loose its EPA mileage ratings for the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, the Chevy oil-burner still took the trophy. The victory was years in the making, GM engineers spending an entire four-year development cycle refining the LM2 Duramax to increase mileage. The tradeoff, as well all know by now, is towing; the Duramax in half-ton duty pulls a maximum 9,300 pounds in the Silverado. Rivals across town can do more, the Ford F-150 PowerStroke rated at 11,500, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel game to pull 12,560. GM engineer John Barta told Muscle Cars & Trucks that more hauling chops could be on the way, explaining, "We’re actually looking at upgrading some of the materials around (the engine bay) to see if we can maybe raise our tow rating." Engine bay materials are at issue due to thermal complexities underhood. John Barta, GM's assistant chief engineer of diesel engine controls, said the Duramax's inline-six configuration allowed engineers to get emissions hardware like the combined selective catalytic reduction, diesel oxidation catalysts, and diesel particulate filter unit closer to the engine, where it heats up quicker, getting emissions down quicker. But that filter puts another heat source in those confines, enforcing a cap on the tow rating to keep the engine and other systems from overheating. "If you look under the hood," he said, "youÂ’ll see a significant amount of silver ‘moon tapeÂ’ around to make sure things arenÂ’t getting overheatedÂ… if we were to go up in higher towing, which we can, we start impacting the possibility of deteriorating some of the components.” There isn't much space for more grille, so swapping for a better grade of "moon tape" or a different kind of material could reduce engine bay heat, extracting a higher tow rating in the process. It's important to note a point Barta's been making for months about the Duramax figures, though. "Even though itÂ’s nice to brag about big numbers, in reality, light duty customers are not towing that large with their trucks," and, "We do know that (95 percent) of our light duty customers donÂ’t tow over 9,000 pounds." On our First Drive of the 2020 Silverado diesel we called out the tow rating, but emphasized that the Chevy and GMC have more important challenges to overcome.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Chevy previews 2016 Malibu ahead of New York debut
Thu, Mar 5 2015With everything going on in Geneva this week, it would be all-too easy to forget that there's still stuff going on back home in America. And the upcoming new Chevy Malibu is a prime example. Chevrolet has announced that it is bringing an all-new Malibu to the New York Auto Show next month, teasing us with this preview image and a few enticing details. For starters, when we say it's all new, this time we mean it's all new. The next-generation Malibu has been built on a new platform that uses more high-strength steel to cut 300 pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing model. It's also got a wheelbase that's almost four inches longer, with shorter overhangs front and rear and a roofline that tapers stylishly and more gradually towards the tail. We'll have to wait a little longer – but not too much longer – to find out more, but in the meantime you can read what Chevy's telling us so far in the press release below. Born Again: Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Announced Larger, lighter and more efficient Malibu to be unveiled at New York Auto Show 2015-03-04 DETROIT – Designed to deliver more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever, the next-generation 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will make its public debut at the New York International Auto Show this April. Using a blank slate approach, Chevrolet designers benefited from an entirely new architecture, which for Malibu includes a wheelbase nearly four inches longer than the outgoing model. That, in turn, provides increased rear legroom and interior space. Due to a higher-strength steel structure, the new Malibu is also expected to be 300 pounds lighter than the current model, which benefits the sedan's fuel economy and handling. "Malibu's gorgeous styling is the result of a masterful understanding of proportions," said Ed Welburn, General Motors' vice president of Global Design. "The roofline has been stretched rearward giving a more sleek profile, while the front wheels have moved forward and front and rear overhangs have been reduced. Along with the sculpted body side, these cues help Malibu appear more dynamic and sophisticated." More details about the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will be shared each week leading up to the vehicle's global debut. The 2016 Malibu is expected to go on sale by the end of 2015. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling around 4.8 million cars and trucks a year.
