I am selling my 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pick-up truck.  It is the 5 window model.  This truck is all original steel, no reproduction sheet metal.  This was a frame off restoration that was completed about a year ago.  The stock frame has been modified with a 1979 Jaquar rear end and a Mustang II front end. The frame has been painted with a satin black finish .All the brake lines and fuel lines are new  The engine is a rebuilt Chevrolet 400 with a mild Cam and a Holley 4 bbl carb.  The transmission is a rebuilt turbo 400 transmission with a Lokar shifter.  The engine and transmission was rebuilt locally here by Bel Air Ranch in Buellton, California. The fuel tank was relocated underneath the bed and features a locking Harley Davidson cap. The bed is a new oak with stainless steel strips from Mar-K, the wood was finish with several coats of urathane clear.  The wheels are new 15 inch  Wheel Vintique Rallye wheels with baby moon caps.  The  truck was professionally painted by Bill Anderson of Hot Rod Alley in Lompoc, who was Sam Foose's painter. The color is PPG Copenhagen Blue base coat with Glasurit Clear coat. This was a rust free truck.  The body is stock, no modifications.  The bumpers, headlights, taillights, emblems  and door handles all new new.  The interior and dash are all stock except for the steering column which is from 1958 Bel Air and the steering wheel is a 1959 Impala wheel.  The seat was re-upholstered in a brown  faux leather with a distressed look.  The door panels are new brown cardboard with new door handles.  The head liner is new brown cardboard.  The gauges are original but they have been rebuilt.  It has a new Newport Engineering 2 speed electric wiper conversion. This truck has been rewired with a new EZ wiring harness, 12 volt.  The radio is original and does not work. All the rubbers and weatherstripping are new.  This is a great running and driving truck.  This is a very understated but classic color which looks much better in person.  We had listed this truck about a month ago but had a family medical emergency and we were not able to follow through with proper pictures and attention to e-mails, so I do apologize to those who emailed then.  The reserve has been considerably lowered as we need to sell. Please e-mail me with any questions, if you'd like to talk I will give you my phone number.  Buyer to arrange for pick up. Thanks!

GM's redesigned full-size 2021 SUVs face delay over coronavirus

Tue, Mar 31 2020

As General Motors works to conserve cash for the coronavirus pandemic, the automaker reportedly told suppliers that it is postponing development of several future vehicles. The situation may cause GM to delay the launch of the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs, which had been planned to roll out in April. The original launch plan for the redesigned full-size SUVs, which are some of the most profitable vehicles produced by GM, had called for production of the current models to end at its plant in Arlington, Texas, this week. After a retooling process, the redesigned SUVs were slated to begin production late in the month of April. In an email to suppliers viewed by Reuters and confirmed as authentic by GM, the automaker also said it was suspending development work on six future vehicle programs, including updates of the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Cadillac XT4, Bolt EV, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM said preproduction work on those programs would be pushed back to calendar year 2021, with most of the updated vehicles scheduled to be launched as 2022 models. According to the Detroit News, work has also been paused on the Chevy Camaro and a future version of the Corvette that has yet to be unveiled and wasn't planned for production during the 2020 calendar year. Last week, the automaker told employees and suppliers it was delaying work on some future vehicles while pushing ahead with near-term models such as its redesigned full-size SUVs and the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Cruise Origin, as well as its new Ultium battery system. A GM spokesman who spoke with Reuters reiterated on Monday what the automaker had said last week — that the situation with its U.S. plants was "fluid" and that the automaker would "continue to evaluate" whether and when to reopen those plants on a week-by-week basis, with "employee safety" guiding that decision. GM said previously that it was closing most of its U.S. plants indefinitely. In its Monday email, GM asked suppliers to stop work on all pre-production tooling and pre-production parts manufacturing, but also not to dispose of any tooling or materials. GM told Reuters it had solicited volunteers from its workforce to finish the build-out of the current SUVs on a single shift in Arlington.

Here's our 2016 Chevy Camaro mega-gallery, live from Belle Isle

Mon, May 18 2015

Nearly 1,000 enthusiasts headed to Belle Isle in Detroit last weekend to witness the reveal of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. Couldn't make it? We've got the next-best thing. Here's a mega-gallery of everything that happened. We've got the reveal of the car in all three of the colors that were on display: red, blue, and gray. We take you under the hood and inside the cabin of this new muscle car. Plus, you can view the exterior from every angle. Then we returned the next day to test drive the Camaro. That was only for journalists, but these pictures are just like being there. And even if you made it to the Motor City this weekend, click through all of these shots to get a better sense of the sixth-generation Camaro. Related Video:

Chevy's latest Silverado videos assume we're idiots

Mon, Jul 6 2015

UPDATE: This article has been revised to reflect that any mention of materials used in a future Chevrolet Silverado is speculation. Can we have a sound, rational debate about the merits of aluminum versus steel? According to Chevrolet's latest marketing videos pitting the Silverado against the Ford F-150, the answer is no. The tone of all three ads is almost Orwellian: steel good, aluminum bad. Of course, this will all be a hilarious joke when an aluminum-bodied Silverado comes in 2018. That's an if, as a member of the General Motor public relations team has reminded me that any articles regarding future product are pure speculation. Until then Chevy needs to sell the current Silverado, with its body comprised chiefly of steel, against the Ford F-150's lightweight aluminum panels. Instead of touting the merits of the "most-dependable, longest lasting pickup," the strategy seems to center around negative propaganda towards the 13th element. The tone of all three ads is almost Orwellian: steel good, aluminum bad. Of the three videos, the most fair is Silverado vs. F-150 Repair Costs and Time: Howie Long Head to Head. Basically: aluminum costs more than steel, it's more difficult to repair, and requires special equipment for body shops. In terms of Chevy versus Ford, the blue oval truck costs more and takes longer to repair - an average of $1,755 more and 34 more days in the shop, according to the ad. But why stop there when you can have pitchman Howie Long raising an eyebrow at random facts? When Silverado Chief Engineer Eric Stanczak says of the Ford, "It's manufactured in a way that combines aluminum, rivets, and adhesive in a process that's different than Silverado." Long responds, "Huh. Interesting." At the end of the video, Long says "I'd be interested to know what happens to insurance costs." Note he's not saying anything substantive. If Chevy's legal team could sign off on some facts about insurance rates, it would be in this ad. On our Autoblog Cost to Own calculator, there is no significant difference in projected insurance costs between the two trucks. But at least that ad has facts. The other two videos are pure hype. In Cages: High Stength Steel, real people are asked what they think of aluminum and steel in a room with two cages. Then a bear is released into the room, and the subjects scurry to the safety of the steel cage.
