Beautiful, rust-free (other than a tiny spot on drivers floorboard - see pics), stock, original, complete 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 window, half-ton, short-bed pickup truck from the desert Southwest. This barn/garage find sat in a dry, climate controlled garage for almost 20 years waiting for a restoration that never happened. It ran well up to that point but hasn't been started since. The engine turns over and the oil is still pretty clean even after all these years.

According to the VIN of 9JP D 8727, this truck...

9 ...was built in Norwood, OH

J ...in 1951

P ...is a 3100 half-ton short-bed

D ...was built in April

8727 ... and was the 8727th truck built that year

The sheet metal (especially the cab) on this truck is amazing. There have never been any rust repairs ever, anywhere; what you see is what you get. Cab corners are excellent. Primer partially covers what looks like an ancient green respray over the original green. And the original green looks very similar to Forest Service green (see firewall pic). Doors, fenders, hood, grill and bed are great other than the passenger side right front fender. It's got a few dents but is very repairable. Just to be safe, I am including an extra fender (see pics). Also, the grill was replaced with one that is in better condition but the original is included (see pics). Most glass is out but is in good shape (particularly the hard to find curved glass - see pics). The bed has a piece missing in the front (see pics) but it is readily available in the aftermarket. In my opinion, the purity of the sheet metal (and the fact that it's a 5 window) is a MAJOR plus for anyone contemplating a restoration candidate.

The interior is in great shape as well. Seat has been reupholstered to a high standard (see pics). Dash is uncut and unbutchered. Gauges, buttons, knobs and levers are either in place or come with the truck. Kick panels (a notorious rust area) are rock solid (see pics). Again, the only rust spot (and it's very minor) is a small area on the drivers floorboard. The cab corners from the inside view also look excellent. And window frames, heater, glass, wiring harness, etc. are all included with the truck (see pics).

Running gear is solid and complete. The firewall still has original markings from the assembly line supervisor (see pics). Engine is the 216.5CID Stovebolt inline 6 and it spins freely. It ran well until it was placed in storage and hasn't been started since. At some point, electrical was converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. Generator is a vintage AC Delco unit. Transmission is the 4 speed manual. Clutch works well and it shifts in and out of gear properly. A newer 6 lug (stock bolt pattern) Dana 44 rear differential was installed to improve drivability. The installation involved no welding and is very sanitary. If you are contemplating a restomod project it should probably stay in place. I am including a stock rear differential including torque tube and driveshaft (if you want it) at no extra charge. This truck also comes with chrome rims that have baby moon hubcaps. They look awesome but detract from originality. I am including 4 vintage six lug rims (if you want them) that would make it look more stock (see pics).

This is what I consider to be a Holy Grail truck. That means 5 window, short-bed, half-ton, rust-free, complete and original. It represents an exceptional basis for any kind of upgrade. The quality of what you begin with has a direct correlation with the quality of what you finish with. I hope it ends up in the hands of someone who gives it the stewardship it deserves. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer any and all questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have about 150 pictures so you can look at every nook and cranny. Please send me a non-Ebay email address and I will send them to you. It is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, UT (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06

Tue, Nov 25 2014

The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
