Frame Off 1956 Chevy Short Bed Pickup on 2040-cars
Sevierville, Tennessee, United States
|
Your search for the classic truck of your dreams is over. This beautiful purple 1956 Chevy short bed is just the ticket. I bought it as just a frame, bare cab and front sheet metal so you name it I had to buy it. It is powered by a new GMPP 350 RamJet fuel injected crate motor that pumps out 350 hp and 400 lb ft of torque. It has a polished billet Vintage Air Front Runner system and coated headers that flow into 2.5" stainless steel exhaust with an H pipe & Flowmasters. The engine is backed up by a modified 700R4 overdrive trans with a 2500 converter and a Lokar shifter. The TCI suspension consists of a power Mustang II rack, 4 link with coil overs and a Ford SVO 3.45 posi rear. 4 wheel power disc brakes with an under cab booster and master cylinder handle the stops and it rides on 17" Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Kumho tires. It features a 1994 Sport Side bed and a reverse flip hood. Countless hours were spent getting the body of this outstanding truck just right and the paint is deep and slick.There is one small blemish in the paint above the left front wheel that does not show up in pictures and can't be seen when the truck is on the ground. I will get it fixed before selling the truck. All of the chrome, aqua tinted glass and weather strips were replaced during the restoration. The interior has gray leather power GM buckets and gray tweed Rod Doors panels, The dash houses purple Dakota Digital gauges in a new factory bezel, the controls to the ice cold Vintage Air and a JVC CD player. The sound system is completed with a Kenwood amp and 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers. An IDIDIT tilt column,center console and seat belts round out the interior. The truck was wired with an American Autowire harness that is specific to the truck. It has an under bed 15 gallon aluminum fuel tank with a TPI internal pump, It is kept cool with a custom aluminum radiator with a censor controlled 3000 cfm electric fan.I built the truck to drive so the frame is painted black and it is undercoated. If you're looking for a classic truck don't miss out on this opportunity to own one of the cleanest 56s I've ever seen. Interesting GM trades will be considered and if you have any questions call Brian at 865 908-7731 before 10 PM EST.This truck is listed on other web sites for much more and is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end this listing early. Spring is almost here and it's time to get that new toy you have wanted all winter. *** MAKE ME AN OFFER. THE BOSS SAYS IT NEEDS TO GO***

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
