1948 Chevrolet 3100 / GMC 100 Please read all of this prior to contacting me. See the seller feedback. I am and will be 100% genuine as will the description. For Sale- is a very original and nice 1948 GMC 100 award winning and show condition. Let me first start by saying that I realize that the badges say 3100 which is Chevy and that GMC’s version is the 100. 5 Years ago when the restoration was being complete there wasn’t aftermarket badges for a GMC 100, just 3100 which has the same pins. However the truck comes with the original 100 badging in the glove box, which need re-chromed. Same thing goes for the hubcaps. There was very little customizing done to this truck. Now onto the description. There was $16500 spent just in parts, on the restoration of this truck. That does not include ANY labor on anything. It is estimated that with labor of mechanical, body and assembly, that there was $35k spent on bringing this truck to its current show condition. The truck was completely disassembled sandblasted, frame off, nut and bolt restoration. All hardware is stainless steel with exception to some of the undercarriage bolts. Over 90 pictures capture the quality of the restoration. The truck has been driven about 1500 miles since the restoration was finished 5 years ago. The truck was driver on and off a farm lane, hence the bottom being a little dirty. The truck starts, runs, drives straight as an arrow and stops on a dime. Exterior – The body is laser straight. Not a ripple or ding to be found anywhere. All body gaps are near perfect and all of the trucks skins are smooth as a baby’s rear-end. All of the chrome is in great shape. Much of the stainless steel is original and has a very minor ding here and there maybe 2 or 3. The rear tail lights have started to pit a little. The grill shows very nice but could use a little polish. All door rubbers, truck rubbers, running board rubbers or gaskets are all new. The tail gate is bolted shut, but can be unbolted by removing 2 bolts and about 45 seconds should you wish to drop it. The builder did not want chains beating around the tail- gate. The bed is even laser straight. No dings, new oak flooring, all stainless steel hard ware. It shows very nice. All cowl vents, side vent, windows, doors, hood open and close as they should. The driver’s door does stick a bit when opening it from the inside and a little shoulder bump opens it up. I’m certain that the catch or release needs adjusted and is minor. It opens fine from the exterior. All glass is flawless and is tinted. Looks at the door jambs, this is a tell tale sign of the quality of the body work, prep and paint on this truck. Paint - House of Colors Candy Apple red and Slight metallic silver with custom pin stripping by the infamous East Coaster Jerry Campbell – The paint is near perfect. Driveline – The truck sports its original straight 6. It’s been completely rebuilt. Runs great. It can be a little cold natured for the first 2 minutes. Starts right up. No smoke. Minor oil leak about the size of a half dollar when sitting. It might be the oil pan or the crank case vent tube. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volt with every wire being replaced. The transmission is a manual 3 speed with electronic overdrive. This is not the original transmission. There is a “free wheel” lever on the floor you pull, and then flip a toggle under the dash for it to go into overdrive. It cruises nice at 55 mph. The rear end does not appear to be original to me. The truck does not have heat. All lights work. The truck comes with its original 3 speed trans. Suspension – Shocks replaced, leaf springs re-arched bushings replaced. It drives like a truck. If you’re looking for a smooth Escalade type ride, this isn’t the truck for you. It doesn’t beat you to death but its an old truck. No custom mods done to the suspension. All original. Interior – The interior speaks for itself. It’s in very good shape all re-done to look new. There are a few small items which could use tightened up and I don’t mean with a screw driver. These are minor issues, you could complete in an hour or two. The stainless trim on the interior of the door around the windows, need to have 4 holes drilled into the door and trim screwed to door. Holes are in the trim. There appears to be a stainless trim piece that mounts above the windshield on the interior which is missing. It should catch the headliner and hold the leading edge up. The trim piece is missing and the leading edge of the headliner is bowed down a little. And lastly, interior door panels were flat when installed. They have since bowed some. They could use 4 more stainless screws and recessed washers to make them lay flat. The lighter is missing and could probably just be filled the hole with a generic stainless or chrome plug. That’s it. All minor things you could tighten up in a few hours. Other then thse few little items, the trucks interior is spectacular. Interior light and wipers work. All gauges appear to work, however the fuel gauge does not. Personally I would mount a set of after market, temp, oil pressure etc gauges beneath the dash. <THERE ARE OVER 90 PHOTOS IN THE LINK BELOW> http://s46.photobucket.com/user/rustymopar/library/OWNER-PC/1948%20GMC%20100%20Pickup?sort=9&page=1 Details on purchase – 1-Truck is being sold as is where is. 2-$1000 immediate paypal deposit upon auction end.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks
Thu, Jan 22 2015Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.  Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
