1933 CHEVROLET HALF-TON PICK UP TRUCK!!!

Fully Completed Frame-Off Restoration!

Up for sale is a 1933 Chevrolet Half-Ton Pick Up. Excellent running condition. This truck currently has 2,027 miles on it since the restoration. Since I’ve been the owner, we drive it to car shows, in parades, etc. It’s garaged and has been very well cared for. We actually keep it on a parking lift in our garage above another vehicle.

This truck was owned and fully restored by my father who passed away in 2010, and it was left to me from his estate. This truck was one of two projects (the other was a 1934 Ford Cabriolet, his first car, also for sale) that occupied much of his twenty years in retirement, and he finished the restoration in 2006. He was a machinist in his early years, and then owned a marina for the latter twenty five years prior to his retirement. The first truck that he owned in his youth was a 1933 Chevy Half Ton, which is how he chose the project. He spent years on this project, and everything…and I mean EVERYTHING was disassembled and fully restored to as close to factory original as possible. When he could not locate a part, he did the research and fabricated the parts. He went to many Carlisle, Pennsylvania car shows, scouting parts, taking reference photos, researching, learning all he could to get the truck as close to factory as possible. Needless to say, this was a full frame-off restoration. He even built the rotisserie that he used for the frame during the restoration process. We have pictures to document the entire restoration process, from selection of the raw, rusted truck, the disassembly, the original engine in its unrestored state, the new wood cab frame that he built from scratch, etc., etc.…over 200 pictures that are numbered and correspond to a listing of what each photo represents. The photo book and the notebook (mentioned below) both are included with the truck. He was nothing if not meticulous. In addition, there are many other pictures included, some duplicates of the numbered series. In my opinion, one of the most stunning aspects to this truck is the beautiful paint, in original black and blue and the gorgeous wooden bed.

I also have the notes that he took during the disassembly process. It includes such details as the diameter of the pistons, crankshaft journal dimensions, diagrams, disassembly drawings, and part numbers among many other details. There is an unbelievable amount of notes that he took on some of these parts as he disassembled the old parts, so that they went together as originally designed. Extremely detailed; dimensions, angles, fasteners, materials, etc. Look at some of the notebook scans below to get an idea of how he recorded this restoration project.

The original 6-cylinder engine that came with the truck that he chose to restore was not a running engine at the time, so he also acquired a 6-cylinder from a 1934 truck as well. I’m not exactly sure what parts he used from the 1934 engine, but I believe that he only used parts that did not deviate from the original 1933 design in order to maintain the originality. The serial number indicates that this engine is a “Master Six”, which has increased displacement and horsepower over the standard six.

Engine specs: 206.8 cubic inch, six cylinder OHV, 65 HP at 2,800 RPM.

This is not a “resto-mod”, this is a restoration. No fiberglass parts, no replica parts. As far as I can tell, the only item that’s NOT as it rolled off the assembly line is a primer bulb added to the fuel supply line, near the carburetor. I’ll be glad to take pictures of anything you like on the vehicle, just ask. You may also email me your telephone number if you’d like to ask questions, but bear in mind that I didn’t do the restoration and therefore I may not be able to answer specific technical questions. I’ll be glad to take it to any mechanic or auto dealer within a reasonable distance of my home, in Westhampton, NY for inspection. Also included is the display tool kit, which is pictured below.

I’m selling this vehicle because it just gets so little exposure, and it just doesn’t get any use. This vehicle deserves to be shown and admired. If you’re looking for a near perfect restoration of Chevy’s early half-ton pickup, I don’t think that you’ll find a better one. This truck is a step back in time, and when you sit inside or drive this truck you can almost imagine what an incredible step forward for a farmer or delivery man this truck must have been over the horse-drawn way of life. The first Chevy Pick Up appeared in 1924, so it was still a relatively new advantage over the horse-drawn predecessor. 1933 was the year that Chevy sold their millionth commercial vehicle, and this truck is a perfect representation of that momentous year. This restoration was a labor of love for this man, and he took years to get this project completed to his satisfaction. It was a difficult decision to let this piece of the family go, but as I’ve finally come to realize in the couple years since his passing, “it isn’t Dad…it was just his truck”.

2016 Chevy Volt ads strike frustrating, yet familiar, chord

Fri, Oct 2 2015

Sometimes, it's hard to let go. In the six years that GM has been advertising and selling the Chevy Volt, one dominant message is that the car is an EV without any range anxiety. On the one hand, this is a positive thing: our car does something that other electric vehicles don't. Of course, there's another, more reasonable take on the message that EVs only equal limited range: don't promote this viewpoint if you ever plan on selling a pure EV. But, of course, this is exactly what GM is doing with a new ad for the 2016 Chevy Volt. Called Elevator, the spot (watch it above) compares driving an all-electric car with riding in an elevator getting stuck. Your Nissan Leaf might run out of electricity, the ad says, and that would be as uncomfortable as being trapped between floors. The main problem, of course, is that Chevy also offers the Spark EV and is getting ready to sell the Bolt EV. Does the company think that everyone will forget these anti-EV commercials when it come time to shop for a Bolt? Even worse, does GM think we've forgotten the Anthem ad for the Volt back in 2010? Apparently, so. Elevator isn't the only ad for the 2016 Volt that GM debuted today. The other, called Time Capsule (below), takes a swipe at the Toyota Prius. Trouble is, there are two easy ways to dismiss this ad as well. First, and most obviously, if GM is against using old technology, then why does it continue to shove a 100-year-old fossil fuel engine into almost every car it builds? Second, attacking the Prius for using 15-year-old tech – when said tech is still able to mop the floor with any hybrid from GM in the fuel economy race - is more like an admission of defeat than anything to be proud of. "Hey look, the Prius uses technology from the '90s," GM says. To which the observant viewer will ask, "Well, then why can't you build a 50-mile-per-gallon hybrid, GM?" It's also worth noting that Chevy has been on a misguided advertising streak as of late. We bashed their ads that suggested its Silverado is better than the F-150 because it uses steel instead of aluminum, too, especially since those commercials used shark cages and stupid superhero costumes in an attempt to make a point. Chevy, stop assuming we're all idiots. Please. Now, the 2016 Volt is a great car and I know that GM can make a darn good Volt ad (like this one), so seeing the company shoot solid fuel-efficient technologies in the back (again and again) is just frustrating.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.
