Selling My pride and joy. This truck was my friends truck and he passed away. Wouldn't be selling, but life gets in the way. This is a 1949 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton 5 window cab truck. It has a few personal touches, but mostly original. To start, it has a Chevrolet 350 sbc engine that starts and runs unbelievably well. It is still carbureted. Not sure on the specifics of the engine, but does seem like a small cam installed. He had the engine built by a shop, but have no info on it. The truck was a garage queen. It sat in his garage and was usually only driven on the weekends since the rebuild. It still has the original factory 4 speed manual transmission. The rear tires are 275-60-15 and are like new. The fronts are 195-75-14, and are around 40%. It sits nice with this set up, I was hoping to drop it down just a little. I believe the rear axle was out of a camero, but not positive. It does have the 5 bolt wheel pattern. Never had the chance to look into it yet. They are buick rims on this truck and I will include a spare buick rim also with the sale. It will need brake work. I only drove it a short distance twice, and around the yard. Seems like the master cylinder will need to be replaced and brakes bleed. Yesterday when I drove it out of the barn, the pedal stuck at the floor. A friend told me that's typical of these cause the spring goes bad. I did find the rebuild kit on here for $17.95 plus shipping. The headlights and brake lights work, but not the tail lights. Unfortunately I don't have the time and resources to fix this at the moment. It has a new interior headliner. The door panels were redone in wood, and he made a speaker box between the seats out of wood also. Not the fanciest, but nice touch. This is a stereo delete truck, and is no stereo in it, but I will include one to the winning bidder if you meet my reserve. The seats are very nice bucket seats, maybe out of a camero, and look great and very confortable. The exhaust is dual exhaust with glass packs and in good condition. It will need shocks. The body is a ratrod style. It has its usual Wisconsin rust issues. Someone had done some repairs, but not professionally. I took some pics, so you can see for yourself. From what I can tell, the floors seem fine. It does have outdoor green nylon plastic carpet glued on the floor. Battery is brand new and still located in factory original place below the passenger floor pan. There is wood bolted to the running boards, after looking at them, they are rusted. They also put wood on each side of the bedsides, not sure why but at one point, they put some real time in the staining it all. Unfortunately, time has taken its toll and the clear is pealing off the wood. This truck has always been my dream truck, but fell into my hands in a unfortunate situation. However, it will make someone a awesome fun project to tinker with and make it there own. The truck has a clear title. With a few hours of brake work, this truck can be your driver. Hate to see it go, but hard times have caught up to us. I reserve the right to end the auction early, the truck is for sale locally. The truck is being sold as is where is, and is available to inspect if you contact me. I will not ship, but will try to assist your shipper as much as possible but not guarantied. The buyer takes full responsibility for any and all shipping costs. There are no warranties or guaranties implied. Any questions, please feel free to contact me before bidding. Thanks and good luck.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
