1949 Chevrolet Pickup - Loadmaster - Dump Truck - Barn Find- Stovebolt on 2040-cars
Townsend, Massachusetts, United States
|
Fresh from the barn! Not to much is known about this truck. It was part of an estate sale. The truck does not come with any paperwork and I'm not sure where the vin tag is. It was said at the sale that the truck was stored inside since the 70's and has not been registered since 1959 (see attached Mass plate obviously not just bolted on). It appears that all of the parts are correct tor the year. Guessing on the year as a matter of fact.Take a look at the engine compartment. Looks bone stock to me. Foot operated starter linkage still intact. The dump body parts are all still intact and appear to be in working order. Looks like it has a PTO of the transfer case and a two speed rear end. Most of the interior parts are there. Heater box, gauges, seat, keys etc. Needs a seat cover, head liner etc. Typical cab and door rust. Nothing some old street signs couldn't fix in my opinion. Truck had some spare glass and two spare wheels in the dump body. Looks like a time capsule. Check out the vintage home made mud flaps and custom toolbox in the dump body sides. I have not tried to start it or turn it over. I think it would best be left to someone who wants to take care and not rush the procedure and possibly damage things. Looks like antifreeze is in the top of the motor and there is oil on the dipstick. We hooked up a battery to check to see what worked. lights turn on very bright and horn works. The rest is up to you. I'm selling this truck for parts only. To be clear, I do not know if this truck runs.It does appear that it could be made to run and drive with some work. How many loadmaster dump trucks 95% intact have you seen? I had to save this truck. It just plain looks cool. I wanted to put a flag pole on it and display it in the yard for now until I could find time to finish but the boss wants it to go. Already have a 1948 3100 hotrod project. |

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
