Up for sale at no reserve is my 1948 5 window Chevrolet pickup. It is a 3/4 ton with a steak bed that pulls out with ease. I have owned this truck for 17 years which 15 of those years it sat in a driveway after I had the motor tuned up and the interior redone in a saddle tan leather. This is an original AZ truck that has zero rust or cancer on the entire vehicle and that is after it sat outside for 15 years with rain and sun hitting it. A year ago with some hesitation I decided I wanted to get the truck running again but was terrified of how much money I would have to put in it again. After 4 new tires, fresh gas, oil & filter, new fuel pump, master cylinder and a battery it started right up and has been running the same ever since. The glass in all 5 windows is original and the dash is all intact, the cigarette lighter is still there. As you know there is no power steering which gives you some muscular arms and shoulders. All the lights work even the dome light. The only thing I have noticed is the rear lights work sometimes and don't work other times, obviously a loose connection somewhere but the brake lights work perfectly. The 6 cylinder motor is the only thing that isn't original the guy I bought it from put a 235 6 cylinder motor out of a GMC of the same period. It is a 4 speed with 1st gear being a granny gear. I just recently put new oak in the bed as well as sanded and stained the stake bed. I cheated when I did the bed by using a full piece of stained oak instead of buying the planks. I did however keep the original metal strips to divide the bed which I sanded and painted. I put everything back with all new hardware so it would last a long time and look better. I also have the original rear bumper as well as the sun visor, the only thing keeping me from putting it on is the center bracket that connects the visor to the center piece of the windshield. The speedometer stopped working just recently but I will assume that is an easy fix. This is a great running truck that doesn't smoke one bit and is very close to original. Yes it does leak a little oil but I mean a little. Thanks for taking a look and good luck.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
