I recently acquired this 1955 Chevy 3100 truck, has been in storage for 15 years. Truck is very solid, was restored approx. 30 years ago and is showing its age, there are a couple of rust bubbles starting but are very minor. There has been some sheet metal patching done on the floor in the area of the foot wells, this is very typical for these trucks. All of the cab mounts are 100% solid and the bed of this truck is immaculate! there is only one small rust spot in the drivers side rear fender, there is no body filler in that area, it is right where the wheel well opening is rolled and there is a spot where the roll is tighter than everywhere else and that is where the rust spot is. The wood floor in the bed is 100% solid and all of the steel strips are there and are in great shape. The front fenders seem to be in great shape as well, only very minor rust bubble starting. The cab corners are very solid as well, there is evidence of some body filler but must be minor, a weak magnet test reveals good metal. there is some minor rust bubbles in the cab corner. The inner fenders are all solid. the drivers side door needs a new upper hinge, the door edge and fender are rubbing. The glass is all in good shape, I ran the casting number on the engine and it is a 1962-1967 327ci engine, the previous owner installed a brand new intake, Edlebrock 1405 carb and a Accell HEI super coil and distributor. from what I can tell the carb has not ever had fuel in it. The previous owner died and never finished hooking everything up. The transmission looks to be a TH350 but I haven't confirmed. It has a kick down cable. I have not tried starting the truck, the gas tank needs to be drained and cleaned, it is full of 15 year old gas. I changed the oil and the old oil looked good. The engine does turn over freely. The tires are dry rotted, they hold air but will need to be replaced. Stock suspension with drum brakes all the way around. The odometer shows 58,748 I have no reason to believe that this isn't accurate. The truck has ALABAMA license plates on it. Both the previous owners are now deceased, I purchased the truck from the widow of the most recent owner. The truck will come with a Iowa Bonded Title. The most recent owner did not transfer the title when he purchased it 15 years ago and he died 10 years ago. The guy who owned it prior to the previous owner has also died and we attempted to contact his family to see if they could do a duplicate title but we were never able to make contact. The bonded title is transferable and you will have no issues transferring ownership. I have done all the required work to obtain a title and have a written notarized bill of sale from the widow explaining the circumstances and verifying ownership. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (319)631-2009 of email me and I will do my best to answer the question. On Apr-22-14 at 14:41:48 PDT, seller added the following information: I have some more pictures of the cab and inner fender wells showing how solid the cab and fenders are, if you email me and leave an address of where I can send some pictures to I would be more than happy.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax reportedly dead after 2022
Fri, Mar 18 2022The Buick Encore will not get an encore, and the Chevrolet Trax is dead in its tracks. Separate unverified reports say the two crossovers, which are essentially identical underneath the sheetmetal, will retire at the end of the 2022 model year without being directly replaced. Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that production of the Encore and the Trax is scheduled to end in the third quarter of 2022. Both models are manufactured in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, and General Motors will reportedly use the extra production capacity to build more examples of the Trailblazer, which outsold the Encore and the Trax combined by a significant margin in 2021. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, but we wouldn't be surprised if the end is indeed near for the Encore and the Trax. Buick released the Encore for the 2013 model year, and Chevrolet launched the Trax for 2015, but the model made its debut as the Opel Mokka in 2012. It's at the end of its life cycle, and sales figures reflect this: 20,072 units of the Encore were sold in America in 2021, a drop of 52% compared to 2020, while 42,590 examples of the Trax found a home, a 60% decline. It's further proof that Americans don't like small cars. Viewed in that light, the decision not to replace either crossover makes perfect sense. If the report is accurate, the Encore GX (which is not related to the Encore in any way) will enter the 2023 model year as Buick's entry-level model. The situation is a little more complicated at Chevrolet: The pocket-sized Spark is on its way out in 2022 as well, meaning that the Trailblazer will become the entry point into the range. It's a different story in Europe: Opel, which is now part of the Stellantis group, released the second-generation Mokka in June 2020.
LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
