Up for auction is a 1953 Chevrolet Pickup. I purchased the truck from the man who done the frame modifications, lowered the body and installed the modern drive train. I will tell you every thing I was told when I bought the truck. The front sub frame is from a early 70s Camaro the rear frame was notched and the 10 bolt rear end out of the same Camaro was installed. Drop spindles were used to lower the truck. The engine is a 350 out of a early 70s pickup it has a four bolt main with late model heads, aluminum intake four barrel carb, 12 volt, electronic ignition and power steering. Engine starts and runs great, does not smoke or burn oil. It does have a small leak around rear main. Transmission is a 400 turbo that shifts smooth and stout no problems here at all. No problems leaks or noises from the rear end. Stopping power is provided by front power disk brakes and rear drums, they work great and do not pull when applied. Now for the body and interior. The previous owner wanted a patina look and sprayed black, grey and white paint randomly all over the truck. The front and rear fenders have the seams filled and are molded to the body. There is some rust on the bottom inside of both doors, there has been some repairs where bondo is present that need finished, cab corners have been repaired and look decent. You can tell the body work was done by amateurs. Looks good for a Rat Rod driver. Interior is decent it has power bucket seats installed ( I also have a 60 40 split power bench seat that comes with it out of a Buick Lesabre. Pictured ) Dash, door panels, and headliner ok. Has had some floor repair but feels solid. Instruments are original 6 volt and do not work, spedo works but is not accurate, has heat blower works , late model tilt steering wheel, all glass is good windows roll up and down good. All lights and signals work, wipers work. When it comes to driving it goes straight down the highway, you can be going 70 mph let go of the steering wheel and it will stay there, you do not have to fight the wheel when driving you can steer with a couple fingers. Apply the brake at 70 mph and it will not jerk you off the road it will make a clean straight stop. Chrome wheels look good and tires are much better than half tread. Rides like a hot rod not a Cadillac. Come take a drive it will surprise you. I have tried to describe the truck as well as possible with out making it look better than it is or worse than what it is. Myself I am a total skeptic and would not buy any USED vehicle with out first taking a look and a test drive, or at least have some one I trust come and inspect the vehicle for me. If you are looking for a driver or want a good start on a show truck this is it. May consider a trade up or down for a GM muscle car 1950 to 1970 ( no trucks ) Cadillac convertible or late model SUV. No motorcycles, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers, skateboards, or any type of water craft no lawn mowers, snow blowers or bicycles. Send me a message with what you have. Thanks for looking and good luck finding the truck for you.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
