Here we have a very solid 1946 Chevy half ton pick up truck. I have my own restoration business and am selling this for an older friend who is not able to use a computer. He has owned the truck for 20+ years. It was driven lightly and always put back in the garage. The truck is believed to have 56,000 miles but this CANNOT be verified. Looking over the truck it is very solid. I could not find rust anywhere, even on the underside. Someone did a quick paint job way back and it is not very good. Almost looks like it was done with a spray can. There are not many dings or dents. The worst of it is on the passenger rear fender but it is something that could definitely be fixed. The interior is very clean. The seat has been recovered and is in excellent condition. The bed of the truck has new very nice looking boards, however the metal strips in between look like the paint job of the rest of the truck. The chrome is not in very good shape. Its either been painted or it has dents, such as the chrome bumpers. The grill has been painted silver. The truck has the original in line 6 engine and manual transmission. I have driven the truck and it runs great. Fires right up every time and goes down the road with no problems. All of the wiring is in good shape but most of the lights such as turn signals and brake lights have been replaced with cheap units. They do work though. There is a small oil leak when it sits. Looks to be a rear main seal. Pretty typical of these old trucks. This truck also comes with a couple boxes of original parts such as the heater and spot lights. The thing I was most impressed with was how beautiful the doors close. Very smooth. Keep in mind this is a low mileage truck but over the years things small things have been modified. This truck is by no means %100 original. Cool little truck though. Any questions call Dave, 6082898189. Best of luck.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
