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.

Chevy Bolt will go into production in Michigan in 2016 [UPDATE]

Fri, Feb 6 2015

While nothing official has been announced, it appears that General Motors may actually put the all-electric Chevy Bolt into production next year. That's the rumor that Reuters is reporting, citing two sources at suppliers for the upcoming $30,000 EV (although that $30,000 number bears some scrutiny). This rumor does fit in with earlier comments that the Bolt would arrive on the market in 2017. If it gets built, the Bolt will share more than a similar-sounding name with the Chevy Volt: the EV will be put together in metro Detroit. Reuters says the 200-mile electric car (and an Opel version) will be made in "an underused small-car plant north of Detroit," which means the Orion Township plant. GM could make between 25,000 and 30,000 Bolts a year there, if what the suppliers are saying is true. We have asked GM for a statement on this story and will update it if we hear back. UPDATE: General Motors manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, told AutoblogGreen that, "Bolt EV Concept is just that – a concept. We're currently evaluating the vehicle program, but do not have any production announcements to make at this time."

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year

Thu, Nov 17 2016

We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
