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.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging 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.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.
