Due to some unforeseen financial problems I am forced to sell my 1941 Chevy pickup that I've been working on for some time.
 
In 1941 Chevrolet made two 3/4 ton trucks...the heavy duty 3/4 ton and the light duty 3/4 ton.
 
This is the light duty which is basically a 1/2 ton long bed with a little heavier suspension.
 
This is the same wheelbase as the heavy duty but has the 6 lug wheels and 11 inch brakes..the heavy duty had larger brakes and 8 lug wheels.

Truck has open drive shaft whereas the 1/2 ton had the enclosed Torque tube drive shaft.
 
This truck is very straight with hardly any rust through ( just a little in the bottoms of the doors) and about 95% complete...missing some minor things like air cleaner, tail light, and light switch.

Milage listed is what shows on speedometer but actual milage is unknown.

Gauge cluster is complete and the gauges that are hooked up (oil and temp) both work...rest haven't been hooked up yet so may/may not work.
 
When I bought this it was pulled from a shed that was falling down around it. (see last picture) Since then I have done quite a bit of work to it and bought several parts for it.
 
Things I've done to it so far:
Seat has been reupholstered,
Brakes repaired...rebuilt master cylinder, new wheel cylinders on all four wheels, new brake shoes front and rear, new rubber brake hoses front and rear, two new steel brake lines.
New exhaust pipe, muffler , and tail pipe.
New distributor cap, plugs, plug wires, points, condenser.
Rebuilt starter.
New wiring harness (not installed, still in the package)
New 6 volt battery.
New radiator hoses.
New fan belt
Engine has all new seals and gaskets installed..(after reinstalling the engine, it is leaking oil when it runs...I think I might have let the oil pan gasket move when I installed it but haven't gotten around to checking it out.
Engine starts and runs good but has some blow-by and the tappets rattle a little.
 
Doors open and close good, windows both roll up and down.
Door glasses and rear window are both good...no glass in windshield but inexpensive flat glass.
 
No rust in floorboard or wiper panel above windshield.
Frame is rust free.
 
Overall this truck is straight and pretty much complete. Just about everything left to do to it is cosmetic.
Entire front clip..fenders, hood, grille and lights are in good shape.
Running boards need very little and are not rusted out.
Bed panels are straight as is the front panel, even the original tailgate is very restorable.
Bed floor is steel.
Right rear fender needs a little welding but is better than most I've seen.
Left rear fender needs very little work.

As you can see in the pictures, I do not have the original wheels...they were not with it when I bought it.  Tires are old but hold air and can be used until correct wheels & tires are installed.

I have a clear Missouri title in my name.
 
Truck yard drives but I have not taken it out on the street.
Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing looked good when
I had the engine out so I didn't replace them.
All of the gears work...granny low and second have the old truck 4-speed growl.
 
Look at the pictures and bid accordingly.
 
I'd really like to keep this truck but that isn't financially possible right now.

Truck is located in Westphalia MO 65085 (central Missouri about 15 miles southeast of Jefferson City)
 
Truck is sold as is with low reserve...reserve is set below what I can part it out for and considerably less than I've already invested in it.
 
Shipping is the buyers responsibility.. I can help with the loading.
 
$500 down payment to be made through Paypal within 48 hours of  auction ending, balance to be paid in cash when Item is picked up.
 
Truck to be picked up within one week of auction end unless other arrangements are approved by seller prior to auction end.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups

Thu, Aug 1 2019

DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.
