1949 Chevy Truck Shortbed. V8 Ps Pb Automatic 5 Window Cab on 2040-cars
Umatilla, Florida, United States
1949 Chevy truck. Shortbed 3100 on a 1994 Silverado Frame. Truck has power steering, tilt column, power brakes, front disc brakes. New shocks, 350 chevy engine with Holley 600 four barrell carb. Steel headers and dual exhaust ran to the rear of the cab with two thrush mufflers. This truck runs and drives great. The frame and drivetrain came out of a silverado with less than 80k miles on it. Runs like a bear! Has new aluminum radiator with electric fan. AC compressor is still on the engine for anyone who wants to add air. The frame swap was done right. As you can see in the pics, the truck has a ton of new parts. Im not going to go through and make a list. Has all new glass and rubbers, upgraded to electric windshield wiper motor. Has bi-xenon headlights. All the lights work including turn signals. Seat is newly recovered with genuine leather The dash has been customized to fit a kenwood dvd/ navigation stereo. It is not currently installed or included. Rear speakers are wired and installed. I can include and install the stereo/gps for an additional $550 if the buyer choses to do so. Paint is only a few months old. Color is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl. Its a great looking paint job, but it is not show quality or flawless. Bed rails and bed floor are stained and varnished oak. Wheels are 15 inch with new tires. Has new gauges that are all operational including electronic speedometer. I have only put a few miles on the truck as of today, but I will be driving it all week to work out any possible small problems like squeaks or rattles. Right now the truck needs a few minor details to be taken care of including front end alignment, carb adjustment (new), and some detailing. Any questions, call me at 570-299-1755. Truck has a clear 1949 FL title in my name ready for transfer. I would consider a partial trade on a 1930-1954 chevy truck project with cash. Nothing else. This is a big boy toy, so check with your wife, your mother, your dog, or whoever you need to before you bid. Call me with any reasonable offers, but dont call me to ask how much I want.
I can help arrange transport if needed. My pics were taken while the truck was still a little dusty and dirty. I will get more on during the auction On Apr-22-14 at 13:00:00 PDT, seller added the following information: I added a few more pics now that the truck is clean. Had a front end alignment done today and drove it around to get a few more miles on it. Ive had a ton of questions about the truck. The frame is a complete frame swap. Not a partial clip. Its a full size shortbed 94 silverado under the 49 body. It drives just like a 94 silverado. It drives great. It needs a few small things to be complete. Nothing major. It needs carpet. Right now the floor is sprayed with truck bedliner and mostly covered with sound deadening material as you can see in the pics. The drivers window rolls up and down but it needs adjustment, or a new regulator. It works but its a little grumpy. I have a few people coming by for test drives tomorrow and Thurs. I will likely have the truck at the Good Guys show in Kissimmee FL on friday or saturday. |

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Is this GM's next electric crossover?
Thu, Nov 16 2017GM made headlines this week when CEO Mary Barra presented the company's electrification and automation plans at the Barclays Global Automotive Conference in New York. "We are committed to a future electric vehicle portfolio that will be profitable," Barra said, which could be taken as a jab at Tesla. In the presentation ( PDF here), though, we see a new vehicle in a slide titled "Leveraging existing BEV platform to expand in near term." The vehicle, seen above, accompanied the captions "New CUV entries" and "two entries by 2020." Is this a sneak preview of an upcoming electric crossover from GM? The image seems too realistic and intentional to be a random placeholder. If this is, indeed, an upcoming battery-electric CUV based on the Bolt, the question remains: Will it be a Chevy or a Buick? It has no visible badging, but it shares DNA from both brands. As Inside EVs points out, though, it does bear a resemblance to the Chevrolet FNR-X concept unveiled in Shanghai earlier this year. With two CUVs on the way, it's not unthinkable that there could be a version for each brand. In addition to this slide, the presentation includes plans for an "All new multi-brand, multi-segment platform" launching in 2021. The all-new modular battery system will cost less than $100 per kWh, providing higher energy density and faster charging. The platform will host at least nine different vehicles, including a compact crossover, seven-seat luxury SUV and a large commercial van. GM has said it will launch 20 new EVs by 2023, and that it targets 1 million EV sales per year by 2026. Many of those sales will be in China. Related Video:
GM posts $4 billion third-quarter profit thanks to trucks and SUVs
Thu, Nov 5 2020DETROIT — General Motors is posting huge third quarter numbers, pulling in $4 billion in profit over three months after losing money due to the virus outbreak. GM's adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share, easily outpacing Wall Street's per-share projections of $1.43, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue of $35.5 billion also edged out most expectations. Shares jumped almost 6% before the opening bell Thursday. The company swung back from a $806 million loss in the second quarter, when it was restarting factories shuttered for safety during the early stages of the pandemic. The Detroit automaker joined most global automakers in reporting better-than-expected earnings from July through September as sales across the globe started to rebound from coronavirus lockdowns, especially in China. GM sales in China jumped 12% in the third quarter, with sales of its Buick and Cadillac brands both rising more than 25%. In the U.S., GMÂ’s most profitable market, sales fell 9.9% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, but were a dramatic improvement over the 34% drop in the second quarter. Sales improved sequentially each month, the automaker said, an encouraging trend. GMÂ’s profit was boosted by higher-priced pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have seen strong sales in the U.S. through the pandemic. It was the best quarter on record for GM's Chevrolet Blazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT6 spiked 45% in the U.S. over last year. Large pickups also sold well. GM also said it was pumping $2 billion into its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant to push its transition to produce electric vehicles. Last week, crosstown rivals Fiat Chrysler and Ford reported strong third-quarter net income. FCA said it made $1.4 billion for the period, while Ford earned $2.39 billion.
