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.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break
Sat, Jun 19 2021General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.  Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'
Tue, Apr 28 2020Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24. The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series. Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz.      View this post on Instagram          Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.
