Clay Center, Kansas, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: 327 Engine, 3 speed and 3:70 Rear End Gear
Model: Other Pickups
Mileage: 100
Trim: Stock
Up for sale is a project that I have been working on and off from the late 80's-early 90's. I am cleaning out due to age, health and other interests. This will definitely make a nice ride, rat rod-whatever your wants might be!
I had the roof cut off and extended the cab approximately 12". I made a removable roll bar out of 1/4" thick gas pipe for sturdiness and safety. The engine is a 327 Chevrolet with a mild cam. Running a 3 speed with a new Hurst shifter and a 3:70 rear end. Brakes, shocks, and exhaust are all new. Front axle is a dropped tube axle (new) with new king pins. Steering is a stock box with a late model column. There is only about 100 miles on the odometer since I got it all running. Engine does have more miles, but not sure how many. Runs strong!
Has a plastic windshield in it now but sale includes a safety glass insert to go with the truck. Grille shell is an original and had about 3 new bars put in, straightened and then powder coated the gray that you see. Has 14" x 6" Centerline wheels on front and 15" x 10" Centerline wheels on the rear. Fenders are fiberglass all the way around and are like new. The passenger side would need some work or replaced as it sliced through a post??
The running boards are made out of 16 gauge metal and have been welded to the original boards.
The original boards were cut along the inside lip to allow for drilling of holes in the new covers so I could run side board lights before the new metal was welded on. NO holes yet! The running board taper out on each side about 3" wider to make the rear end/fenders give a tubbed look. The metal that you see in the photo is for the front and sides of the bed I was going to make as well as the square tubing for the stake pockets.
Mufflers are the quiet type but still have a nice sound. The hood is a one piece hood but needs to be finished welded. There are metal side filler panels that go with the truck to finish out the sides. One has already been cut out so there is a start for a pattern, but would recommend creating a template before cutting. EVERYTHING bolts in/on the frame/running gear. There has been no welding other than the rear shock mount/cross member.
Wiring panel is from Affordable Street Rods and has some extra terminals that can be used. The only items wired up are the horn, lights, brakes, mechanical speedometer, turn signals-etc. Just those items that make it legal and street worthy.
Doors are suicide and need fitting and completed. The filler panels for both sides are included for the cab extension and to give the driver and passenger more available leg room as well as safety from the roll bar. Also included is the Inside door skins. I have tried to include photos that show how everything is bolted in.
As shown in the photos, everything is included for the cab that I had to cut off. I guess you could extend that as well if you wanted to. Also included is a top folding assembly off a 1964 MGB that I was going to use for a pattern or re-work to fit on the truck. There are many other parts-including the original rear spring hangers that go with this truck.
Also included with the project is another fairly complete 1937-1938 Chevrolet cab. Includes 3 doors and all the hinges. There is a good driver door and 2 passenger doors to make one good one. The cab does have the original gas tank. If you don't want to finish the roadster, then put on this cab? YOU can do what you want and NO I WLL NOT PART OUT THIS SALE! I AM GETTING CLEANED OUT!
These items must be picked up by buyer as I cannot deliver or ship. Will sell world wide. $500 by PayPal due at close of auction.
This is a heck of a deal with all of the hard work done or at least started and will provide many miles of fun and enjoyment. Rat Rods are in so why not go with the flow? I will be throwing in any extra parts that I can find and they will go with this auction. Don't let this one pass you by.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here
Mon, Feb 13 2023Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.
