This is my driver quality 1951 Chevrolet 3600!
This restomod has all original Sheet metal aside from the front of the bed. It
has been equipped with some nice new age additions. With the stance it drives
and feels more like a Chevy 3100 but with the harder to find 3600 titling. It
does have a clear title in my name. The paint is metallic midnight blue and It
was painted in sections and not as just a overcoat on top of assembled metal. Every
piece was painted individually. It is not a show car that is 10/10 for every
aspect, But with that said, this is a driver truck that I am not selling for
45k. This is a truck you can drive and enjoy. “ I don’t want a gun I can’t shoot, or a truck
I cant drive”. The grill, running boards, fenders, hood and tailgate are all
original and there is no fiberglass anywhere on this truck. All Rot has been
cut out patched appropriately The motor is a 235
inline 6 that is in excellent shape from a 1954 Chevy when pulling the engine
code and it is still a 3 speed manual transmission from the factory. It does
have a Rochester B Carb that has been rebuilt with a brand new choke cable. The
distributer was rebuilt and works great As you can see in the pictures truck has been upgraded with
a front end disk brake kit that is brand new including brake lines and it has
been converted to Chevy 5 lug in the front and 74 Chevy Nova in the rear. The
driveshaft has been modified to work with the nova rear end as well. Brand new
shocks as well. Even though it has a retrofitted rear end I purchase a Lokar E-brake conversion cable kit that hooks up the original parking brake setup to this rear end. You will NOT find many older trucks with working parking brake cables like this one. it is hooked up. needs to be adjusted but installed. It has a brand new 2
Bore brake master cylinder with prop valve as well. No more unsafe 1 bore
master cylinder. All of the brake line has been converted to nickel copper
brake line as well. The gauges are original and aside from running lights are not hooked up at this time. , but the car is sitting on a brand
new 12 volt harness and ignition switch for that modern charge and convenience.
I also added turn signal switch to this truck so you can have some modern convenience
in a old time ride. Brand new tail lights with incorporated license plate
bracket for that nice clean look It also has a brand new complete wood bed kit that includes
wood, bolts, angle bars, and metal slats. And bed blocks. The wood has been
Minwax polyurethaned to keep it looking awesome for years to come. I have also
created a Wood Bed Rail Kit that is Minwaxed to match the wood Bed that I find
very sharp looking. Sitting on a brand new set of 17x7 inch Riddler rims and
tires. Black Seat on Original frame in Very nice shape. It also has
a Original Steering wheel, Radio bezel, and glove box. New headliner, door
panels, speedo cable, turn signal switch, headlights, headlight bezels and
gaskets, wiring harness, shifter head, and tail lights. Another perk is all of the glass has been removed and
replaced with new original style green tinted glass. The headliner is brand
new, and so are the door panels. Gas tank is original style and is brand new. No rusty gas in
this bad boy. Inside and outside are all painted midnight metallic blue and the
frame is painted black I have put allot of love time and money into this truck and
I am sad to see it go, but as life throws us curveballs it is just one of those
things that has to happen. There are a few things you can add yourself to spruce it up, but I have decided to leave off due to me needing to sell it. : gauges need to be hooked up to work, horn doesn't work, there is no exhaust. there Is a pipe that goes from exhaust to bottom of truck, but that's it . there are runs in the paint. paint is a 7/10 shape in my opinion Obviously this is a classic truck and is sold As IS Where
is.. But you will not be disappointed in this buy. You must arrange the transportation and pay for that
yourself, but I will assist the delivery company with loading if they require
it. This is a great truck. I hope it sees allot of road time because old trucks are meant to be driven, not stored. I can purchase and install a new aftermarket gauges if that is a major deal breaker, but I will go up on the sales price. |

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years
Fri, Feb 21 2014Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry
Wed, Dec 1 2021The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer. The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
