1949 Panel Truck! Full Restoration Nearly Complete! Rebuilt 6 Over $30k Invested on 2040-cars
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
RARE 1949 CHEVROLET PANEL TRUCK! FULL GROUND UP RESTORATION NEARLY COMPLETED! VERY SOLID & STRAIGHT! REBUILT INLINE SIX! This Panel Truck has undergone a very lengthy restoration process. It began approximately five years ago and due to some unforeseen circumstances, she was stored away. Tucked away in a climate controlled garage, it wasn't until about two months ago that she was brought out of her cave. As you will see, an extensive amount of work, time, and money have been invested to get her to this point. In my opinion, she is about 90% done. All of the heavy work has been completed. I know that the previous owner had over $30,000 invested in to it. As she sits today, all she needs is some interior work, some trim pieces, some glass, and you could easily have a very nice classic on your hands. Body: The body on this Panel Truck was completely taken down to bare metal. Every bad piece of metal was cut away and replaced. From what I was told as well as what I have observed, this Panel Truck was relatively solid to begin with. She still retains much of her original sheet metal. The body and paint work were done professionally. The paint is two stage base coat clear coat. It has never been wet sanded or polished which as you will see, she still shines out beautifully. There are no spider webs, cracks, blisters, nor any other major paint blemishes. She is missing her front glass but she does come with her original rear glass for each door. Both pieces are in good shape. She is also missing some of her chrome moldings. The white walls that she sits on are new and they do not have more than 50 miles on them. The bed to the Pickup was completely redone when the body work was being completed. Engine & Mechanical: The Inline Six in this Pickup was completely tore down and professionally rebuilt. The same as the three speed manual transmission. Both do not leak and both do not have more than 50 miles on them since being installed. The Pickup has a rebuilt 10 bolt underneath it. All of the brake lines, fuel line, and suspension were all redone. Interior: The interior as you will see, still needs completed. Which someone with a big imagination could take it in many different directions.tainty that it is the only one of its kind. It has the best of all worlds, wrapped up in to one! These Panel Trucks are absolutely captivating when you see them in person and this one is no exception. If you've got a big family and want to enjoy the luxury of owning a classic, there is no better way to go than with these Panel Trucks. They seem to be one of the few investment grade vehicles that consistently hold as well as grow in value. With this one, you can take comfort in knowing that you'll be getting it at a fraction of what the previous owner had in it. For what we are asking, you couldn't come close to building it to where it sits today. I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the 49 early as we do have it for sale "locally". I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this 49. As always, good luck and happy bidding! Thanks, Shawn (816) 308-0351

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Smaller Cars Endure Big Problems On Crash Test
Wed, Jan 22 2014In a crash test of 11 of the smallest cars on the market, only one vehicle received an acceptable rating. The rest received marginal or poor ratings in the study, providing evidence that supports a widely held notion that smaller cars are among the least safe on the road. No other vehicle group has performed as poorly on a new crash test than these mini cars, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the nonprofit group that conducted the testing. The latest results of which were released Wednesday. The Chevrolet Spark was the only car earning an overall "acceptable" rating on the small-front overlap test, and even that vehicle had its shortcomings, IIHS said. "Small lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage," said Joe Nolan, the senior vice president for vehicle research at IIHS. "That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection. Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories." The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and certain Ford Fiesta models all received "marginal" overall grades on the test, while the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all earned "poor" ratings. Results from these sub-compact cars fare much worse than vehicles sized just a little bit bigger, IIHS said. Among 17 cars evaluated in the small category, five earned "good" ratings and five more earned "acceptable." Only introduced a year ago, the small-front overlap test has quickly become a key indicator of differences in automotive safety. IIHS introduced it as a way to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with a tree or utility pole at 40 miles per hour. In the real world, these sorts of accidents are more dangerous than others, in part because they bypass the front-end crush zones on most cars.

Without a grade of acceptable or better, they cannot qualify for the IIHS' overall Top Safety Pick+ honor, given annually to the safest models on the market.
