1949 Chevrolet 5 window 3100 Pickup Truck This Auction is for my 1949 Chevy truck that has just had a full frame off restoration. I will describe everything front to back by systems. I will try my best to include all the parts that were used in the build. If you have any Questions feel free ask, and do not be shy, I love talking about the truck. Engine: 307 small block Chevy engine. I got this engine along with the truck, and had plans on doing a full rebuild on it until I started taking it down and noticed how clean it was internally. I then opted to refresh the engine top to bottom instead of a full rebuild. the New parts consist of oil pump, oil pan, all gaskets, water pump, fuel pump, alternator, intake manifold, power steering pump, All belts, Carburetor , air filter, distributor with built in coil, plugs, and wires. the valve covers were stripped down and repainted along with the engine block ect. It starts right up and runs great! Transmission: 2 speed powerglide transmission also came with the truck when I acquired it. the transmission has an aluminum case and like the engine was very clean inside. I changed the pan gasket, filter, and rear tail shaft seal. and added all new fresh fluid. It shifts very smoothly with no issues. Rear End: The rearend is a Gm 10 bolt rear out of a 1978 Pontiac trans am. it was stripped down and repainted with a new differential cover gasket and fresh gear oil. I am not quite sure what the gear ratio is but the truck rides and drives like a stock camaro from the early 80's. It is geared for normal road/highway driving. Brakes: The brake system is all new front to back including all new brake lines and hoses , front calipers, and pads rear wheel cylinders and shoes. the master cylinder and power brake booster are also new along with a new pedal assembly. the master cylinder is a duel bowl corvette style master which attaches to a new proportioning valve and feeds the new fluid through the new lines. I have parts for the parking brake assembly ,but the parking brake is currently not hooked up. Suspension: The front suspension of the truck is that of a 1978 Chevrolet camaro. The frame of the truck was professionally sub framed by fatman fabrication here in charlotte NC. So from the firewall forward the frame is that of the 78 camaro. this gives the truck a great drive quality with independent front suspension, and makes parts like ball joints, bushings, brakes ect. easy to acquire from you part store of choice. The suspension is all new with New shackle bushings , shocks, ball joints, control arm bushings, ect. The front springs were cut to lower the ride height by about 2''. Electrical System: The electrical system of this truck is 12V and has been fully wired New with a 13 circuit American auto wire harness. all the bulbs, switches in the truck are new along with the new alternator. New brake light switch, parking lights, tail lights, headlights, dash lights ect. The column in this truck is a tilt column out of a 70's Chevy with a new steering wheel with new horn contact, neutral safety switch, turn signal switch, ignition switch. The dash gauges in this truck consist of only 2 electrical gauges which are the volt meter and the fuel gauge. the old amp meter was converted into a volt meter with the use of the original amp meter plate with new decal and a gauge from a new sunpro volt meter. the fuel gauge is a new 12v fuel gauge from classic parts of america. no need to have any worries about an old electrical system with this truck. Exhaust System: The exhaust is true duel exhaust New from front to back with the use of stainless steel downpipes that feed into aluminized pipe that feeds into summit racing turbo mufflers that feed into flow master tailpipes. The only thing that was used was the engines original stock manifolds that were sandblasted and painted with a factory manifold grey high temp paint. Steering system: The steering system is all new with the previously mentioned steering wheel, rebuilt column, & power steering pump. along with new steering gearbox , hoses, and column to gearbox shaft and yokes. Cooling System: The cooling system in this truck is also all new which consists of a new duel core aluminum radiator with built in transmission cooler, water pump, heater hoses, rad hoses, 16''electrical fan, thermostats and temp gauge. Fuel System: The fuel system of this truck is all new which consists of new fuel filler cap and hoses, tank, sender, gas pedal assembly, gauge, pump, filters, carb, and fuel line which stainless braided hose with AN fittings. Interior: The interior is all fresh with used seat frame done up with all new springs, padding and vinyl upholstery, new sun visors, headliner, door panels, door handles, window cranks. the original glove box door has a few minor dings in the stainless, but I opted to keep it original because it still looks great. the speaker grill and ashtray are also original. it has a new glove box liner, cigar lighter, switches and knobs ect. the floor pans and firewall in this truck were all coated with spray in bed liner material for a clean original look without the use of carpet. I am missing and to this day trying to locate a inner stainless steel garnish molding for the driver's side door window. Exterior and sheet metal: This was a true nut and bolt frame off restoration. every panel, nut , bolt ect. was taken apart or taken off this truck and each piece got worked, painted , and then reassembled .The exterior consists of some original and some aftermarket parts. Original parts include Cab, doors, front fenders, rear fenders, running boards, splash aprons, and hood. the aftermarket parts consist of grille, front bumper, complete bed and roll pan. all painted with a 2 stage base/clear silver with the exception of the grill which is done in black and silver. The paint shines and shows excellently!! there are no dings or dents in the exterior but there are a few nicks in the paint which happened during assembly. these few nicks are all very minor and never looked upon by anyone viewing the vehicle and have been touched up to prevent the finish from further damage. I give the paint on this truck a 10/10 for driver quality and a 6/10 for show quality. although I am very proud to take this truck to any show or car cruise. Hardware: I would say that at least 90% of the hardware used for assembly is stainless steel nuts bolts washers clips ect. If it's not new stainless then it is zinc Glass and weather-strip: The glass in this truck consist of all new glass except the two original corner windows. all glass rubber and other wind lace and weather-stripping are new on this truck. Both doors have new inner rubber along with new door glass channels. wheels and Tires: The front and rear wheels are New chrome smoothie 15 inch wheels. the fronts are wrapped with 195x60x15 and the rear are wrapped with 235x70x15. The tires are new
If you are in the market for an older 1947- 1953 Chevy truck with the ride quality of a 80's muscle car, do not pass up on this beautiful example of a modernized old truck. |

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary
Sun, May 10 2020After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility. Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
