For sale is my 1950 Chevy 3 window pickup.  I purchased the vehicle in 2007 from California and have been restoring it slowly ever since.  The truck has everything to be completed, it is just now all on right now.  The only major things left to do is finish some bodywork and some of the interior.

BODY-The truck is rust free California bought.  The door handles have been shaved and filled.  Front cowl vent and side vent shaved and filled.  Shaved drip rails around window.  Outer window trim welded to make windows look like one piece and really clean.  Shaved fuel filler.  Check out the truck at creativerodandkustom.com and you will see what I was going for.  Bear Claw latches installed on doors.  Doors close and latch perfectly.  Door poppers installed and were tested.  Also has safety wire installed so you can pull on latch from outside if keys left in truck.  Front fenders have been body worked, headlights frenched in with chrome ring, and primered.  Only thing left to do is block and paint.  Rear fenders are wider, I believe by two inches, and are fiberglass.  Also have fiberglass running boards that go with the rear fenders.  Bed sides are original.  Stake pockets have been filled along with the end of the stake pockets at the rear.  New front bed panel and rear tailgate with emblem installed.  Tailgate has been custom welded to rear of bed for seamless look.  Welding is complete and finish bodywork and paint needed to complete.  New front bumper and grill.  New headlights and marker lights.  New exterior mirrors.  New rear bumper from 1954 Chevy.  This bumper has the "step" in the middle and I think looks better.  Rear bumper has also been moved in approx. 3 inches so it fits closer to truck and gets rid of the farm truck look.  Also has extended apron with LED tail lights.  One light cut out and other needs trimming.  Custom 7 piece wood bed kit with strips.  Looks great and all boards are almost the same size, gets rid of the small boards in most kits.  Wood kit cost around $400 and will just need staining.  Aluminum gas tank moved under bed.  Two hoods, one stock and one that has the two halves custom welded to make a one piece hood with no trim.

SUSPENSION- TCI Mustang II Crossmember welded in.  It came with 2 inch lowered springs and disk brakes.  I removed the front springs and set it up with Shockwaves in the front.  I still have the lowered springs which will go with the truck.  The disk brakes are power with the master cylinder and booster installed on the frame like original with gives more room in the engine bay.  Rebuilt drum brakes on rear 10 bolt.  8.5 inch with 3.23 gearing.  Power rack and pinion steering.  Brand new front sway bar and all new upgraded bushings installed when front end installed.  Everything is brand new.  It has even had a front end alignment done.  4 link rear suspension with air bags.  Crossmembers welded in.  I have complete plug and play kit for the air bags.  NOT INSTALLED YET.  Have everything to install, air lines, fittings, digital air control gauge and manual gauge-you pick which to install.

ENGINE-Rebuilt 383 Chevy V8.  I bought the engine from a builder in Arizona and installed it.  The engine has tons of torque.  New polished pulleys.  Rebuilt 700R4 Automatic transmission.  The overdrive is really nice to keep the RPM's down.  Like driving a new truck with way more rumble.  The firewall was cleaned up and years of useless holes were filled.  Vintage Air condition kit installed.  Is not charged at this time.  Rebuilt radiator.  I had a radiator guy build it a few years ago.  He used an older heavy duty core.  The entire thing was gone through with all new parts.  He also installed a heavy duty transmission cooler in the radiator.  He didn't care for the "Chinese copy" that I had installed that began to leak.  He really knew his stuff and I bought in on it, around $700 for the set up.  Also has custom bowtie emblem on top.  All new hoses.  Have electric and standard fuel pump, neither installed right now.  Electric fan with thermostat.  Air gap intake-endurashine, Edelbrock 750 with electric choke.  Polished valve covers and cleaner.  Coated headers with flowmaster mufflers.   New driveline.  Much more, only the best stuff used.

INTERIOR-New dash shell installed.  Have new glovebox door and center piece.  New Dolphin Speedo and four gauge for fuel, oil, temp, battery.  New column tilt shifter.  New door panels and headliner shell from Rod doors.  I bought the kit a few years ago.  The company went out of business, but you can still find pictures of the door panels on the web.  They are made out of a hard plastic and will just need to be covered in the material the buyer will want.  The headliner is made from fiberglass.  Have all window stainless and headliner stainless.  New ignition switch.  Painless Wiring kit.  Wiring kit is installed and ran.  Wires going to back still needed to be connected to lights, gas tank, ect when everything is put back in.  The stock seat frame was cut out and a bench seat from I believe a second row suburban was installed.  I still have the stock bench, which will go with the truck.  Both are in dark gray cloth in decent shape.  One piece front windshield.  New rubber seals for windows and doors.  This is a three window truck.  New wiper motor.  New power window kit with aluminum switches.  Other new things that will probably come to me after I post this.

15 Inch tires on it right now.  Tires still have good tread and will last for awhile.  I have most if not all of the parts to put this truck back together.  I have boxes of new parts.  All major things are included with truck.  Small things like cigarette lighter or dome light may be needed.  Please send me a message or call if you have a specific question or want to know about something I didn't list. 

My loss is your gain.  This is the opportunity for someone to take what has been started and turn this into a show truck or just put it back together and drive it as is.  I really love this truck and I have invested a lot of money and time into it.  I am selling it because when it was purchased, I thought it would be completed by now.  At that time, it would have been for fine for me, my wife, and kid in car seat.  It was a tight fit, but it worked for short trips.  The kid is now in a booster seat and we added another in a baby seat.  Unfortunately, it this was just for me it would be great.

I also know the value of these trucks and what I have in this one.  I think the price is reasonable for what I have invested and what is needed to complete.  I am only selling because I want to see this truck completed and it won't probably get done by me for awhile.  No low ball offers please and only bid if you really want it.  I can assist with shipping but it is the winning bidders responsibility to find a shipper.  I could possible assist with shipping to someone who is in the local area.  Call or email with additional questions.  360 451 4088

 

I also have another hood, painted yellow like the rest of the truck.  Also have original grill and bumper.

First 2016 Chevy Volt commercial rocks us to sleep

Fri, Jan 30 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Volt, with its thorough restyling and increased all-electric range, is an exciting evolution of Chevy's groundbreaking plug-in hybrid, so it's only fitting that the commercial campaign to sell it to the masses also be engaging and vibrant. Well, the first ad has just been officially released and it rocks... us to sleep. Now, we get that General Motors didn't want to repeat past Volt-commercial mistakes. No one wants to see dogs licking feet or dumb (and weirdly horny) aliens again. Nor would it be smart to slam all-electric vehicles, since it now sells the Spark EV and has just revealed its 200-mile Bolt concept. So, what does that leave? How about a mostly computer-generated spot that relies on cliche images and an upbeat synthetic soundtrack to communicate that the Volt is now as boring as other four-door appliances? An intro, featuring a lightly-bearded gentleman peering at his tablet through designer glasses launches us into the action as the Volt makes its way across a city bridge, then a curvaceous country road. Chevrolet doesn't include voiceover to inform you that the new Volt has a 50-mile battery-only range. There's no mention of its gas mileage once its electric charge is depleted – items that just might be of importance to hybrid buyers. The ad also makes no attempt at establishing an emotional connection, either through drama or comedy. There are, however, lots of fast cuts of the new, normalized interior, including a two-second detail shot featuring the windshield wiper switch. We imagine that this is only the first in a series of spots that will tell the Volt story and motivate potential buyers to run down to their local dealer, hopefully the next spots will be more interesting and informative.

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala

Fri, May 23 2014

Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.

CA Chevy dealer allegedly adds $50K 'market value adjustment' to 2015 Z06

Fri, Jan 9 2015

It seems to happen with every eagerly anticipated new car – dealerships, recognizing that crushing demand far outstrips the initial limited supply of a new model, inflate the price via a so-called "market value adjustment." We've seen it in the past with a number of new models, and now it's happening again with one of the Detroit 3's hottest vehicles. A dealership in Roseville, CA, outside of Sacramento, has allegedly attached a staggering $49,995 market value adjustment to a 2015 Corvette Z06. We say allegedly because, despite the evidence uncovered by BoostAddict, John L. Sullivan Chevy's online inventory listing doesn't display the price premium of the Z06 in question, a (normally) $93,965 model with the top-end 3LZ trim. It's unclear if either of the dealer's other Z06s, both 3LZs, one of which is in transit, will receive similar price adjustments. Now, legally, Sullivan Chevy isn't doing anything wrong here. Dealerships are under no obligation to observe a manufacturer's suggested retail price, a point General Motors' spokesperson Ryndee Carney pointed out to Autoblog via email. "For the Corvette Z06, Chevrolet has established a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price we feel is right for the market. Actual transaction prices, however, are the province of the dealer," Carney said, adding that a dealer zone manager will be discussing the price hike with the dealership. While we also reached out to the dealership over both the market value adjustment and the price of the Z06 as it appears on the company's website, we've yet to hear back as of this writing. Should they reply to our inquiries, we'll be sure to update you. Until then, we'd like to hear what you think about this case. Is Sullivan Chevy simply pricing the cars as high as it thinks the market can bear, or is this a cash grab for an hotly anticipated product? Have your say in Comments.
