1937 Chevy Pick-up Street Rod V8 Loaded Restored Tilt Flatbed And 75 Pictures on 2040-cars
Benton Harbor, Michigan, United States
See Description below for over 75 Full size Pictures of a complete frame off one of a kind Classic 1937 Chevrolet Pick-up. A little History; The 1937 Chevy half-ton pickup was not only the first pickup truck to be designed from the ground up, but it was also among the first to offer a full body instead of just the chassis and front cowl. Instead of relying on private body makers and even local lumber yards to provide the beds for their commercial chassis, Chevrolet created its own bed styles. This began a trend of American automakers handling all aspects of design and bodywork for their light and medium-duty trucks, one that continues to this day. The steel cab provided a modest level of comfort.

I purchased this Pickup in 1997 from the man who built it in 1993-94 This Truck runs and drives great . I have hauled everything from Pumpkins to my swap meet stuff to the Street rod Nationals. With a 20 Year old Build the paint and body are great. There a few
chips and scratches in the Tilt bed area and a small chip on a door hinge pin.
Also a small chip in the passenger fender under the bra it can be seen in the newest pictures at the end a tiny star in the front fender you have to look hard to see also crack in
the driver door window behind decal. (Vacuum Wiper works) (needs arm and
blade) The hydraulic bed cylinder Works great I installed a new line on the 21st, fluid and breather cap. Note: see pictures toward the end. I installed Air
shocks on the rear with separate air intakes to adjust ride height because one
rear leaf spring seems a little weaker than the other. The shocks help see new photo at the end also I have put a video at the end of all pictures. It shows the Hydraulic bed working and it was a cold day, you can hear it run both on fast idle and off. Sorry for the shakiness video, my hand shakes the more I hold the camera. Thanks.. ( If the video won't play I can e-mail you one. ) Please see all the pictures, and if you have any Questions or additional pictures please let me know.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
