For Sale: 1952 Chevrolet 3-window 3/4T Long Bed Pick Up truck, (8) lug hubs, 16" steel wheels, heavy duty springs. Description: Our truck is a CLEAN, Excellent running, driving, road worthy truck that was purchased as a "display" truck for my welding business. The truck is virtually rust free, and when I say rust free, I don't mean the surface rust. She has plenty of that, but the floor boards, kick panels, rocker panels, cab bottoms, floor, fender wells and the bed itself are beautiful. She does have some rust-through surface(s) where the upper rear part of the front fenders meet the interior kick panels on the cab, but this is minor and not bad at all. The pictures in this listing of our truck ARE the pictures of the truck that you will be purchasing. This truck has a 12-volt battery but the truck itself has not been formally converted to a 12 volt system. All physical dash indications in the truck work perfectly. The truck shifts great, starts right up and runs like it's purring. It could be put to work immediately as is, or restored. This is really a nice, solid truck. She was purchased for a promotional vehicle for my welding business, but I get enough referrals via word of mouth, and we really need to purchase a tractor, so the truck is being sold. Condition: The truck has obviously had some bumps and scrapes along it's life. The driver's front fender was hit and poorly repaired at one time. The passenger side rear fender had a chain come loose in the snow and damaged the right rear fender at the rear lip as shown. None of this minor damage described is unrepairable. The rear bed is complete as it was original, but it is all under a sheet of 3/32" steel that was placed in the bed at some point during the truck's life down here in Texas, (see pics.). The glass is all there, but it's not all good. Most of it will have to be replaced. It's chipped, it's cracked, and it's pitted. The rubber gaskets around all the glass are virtually crusted completely hard and are unserviceable. The doors open and close without any sag whatsoever. I have removed all the old cracked-up upolstry to preserve the seat springs, which are in excellent condition. The windshield wipers work intermittantly. The wiring is all original; but she uses a push-button starter switch taped to the steering column to facilitate the starter action on the newer 235 engine. She has just had a coolant flush, and a fresh oil & oil filter change. New Parts: New keys, ignition, locks, Battery, battery cables, positive and negative, fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel cap, fuel line, fuel filter, & oil filter. Extras: The was ordered with the radio blank, turn signals, windshield wipers, and a heater. All of these items are installed and/or functioning in the truck. The truck will have a complete spare '52 grill assembly that goes with it, a full size mounted and balanced 16" rim and tire, as shown in the bed. I also have a 4-cross lug wrench and jack that will go with the truck. The truck has had a professionally welded/extended 12-Volt Battery tray fabricated to use the existing holes for the original, (smaller), battery box in the frame under the passenger side floor board. The 12V battery itself sits below the original floor board access panel, clearly visitable in the pictures, just like the stock 6 volt battery did. You can easilly pull the 12V battery up through the floor for removal. I do have the stock OEM radio blank plate that goes into the dash, which does go with the truck. I also have a spare door glass that is packaged for shipment. I will provide DETAILED pictures of any part of the car you wish, before you purchase and/or make an offer, if you're not seeing what you need to see in the pics I have posted. I will answer any questions completely, before you make your offer and/or purchase. Please do not hesitate to email me through the E-bay matrix, or simply speed it up by calling: (254) 368-7399. If you do not want your question posted to the listing, please let me know that in your contact and your contact will be kept private. Thank you for your interest and best of luck to all interested parties. The truck IS for sale locally here in Central Texas, Killeen 76548. The truck is located 55 minutes NNE of Austin City Central, 50 minutes SSW of Waco, TX and 2.5 hours NNE of San Antonio, 4.0 hours NNW of Houston, and 4.0 hours SSW of Dallas, TX. |

Chevy Tahoe-to-K5 Blazer conversion shop renders Jimmy option
Sat, Feb 20 2021Back in 2019 we told you about a truck that looked like a K5 Chevy Blazer, but was actually a modern late-model Tahoe underneath. It was the product of Arkansas shop Flat Out Autos, which reskinned modern GM full-size SUVs to look like their predecessors. Now, the same shop is planning to release a GMC version, converting Yukons to Jimmys. We were impressed by Flat Out's workmanship, beautifully blending the lines of the Blazer into those of the Tahoe. The result was a cohesive design, not just a panel swap. It clearly required a lot of work, which helped justify the $69,000 price tag, not including the cost of the donor Tahoe. FlatOut Autos GMC Blazer Tahoe reskin 01 View 11 Photos At least one new owner was so impressed that they recently purchased four identical Blazer conversions at once. The quadruplets were all finished in blue with a white roof and all based on brand-new 2020 Tahoes. Obviously, with such demand it was only natural for Flat Out to explore other options. On Facebook the company said it was working on a 1972 version with an eggcrate grille. Now, they've also released a rendering paying homage to the K5 GMC Jimmy. The Jimmy conversion uses the original's quad-headlight face, crosshair grille and GMC badging. Like the Blazer conversion, it adds chrome bumpers and milled door handles while adapting the original's 2-door design to the new truck's 4-door body. The rendering only shows the front three-quarter view, but presumably a new carbon fiber rear door would have to be created as the Blazer's says "Chevrolet" across the back. Flat Out says that all the modern conveniences found on the donor Tahoe will work on the conversion, including parking, blind spot and lane keeping sensors. If you have the coin, it's a great way to have retro style without giving up modern safety and performance. The new Blazer has been disappointing to many fans that had hoped for a Bronco-like SUV. Instead, GM gave us a crossover. The Flat Out conversions might be a good compromise, and expanding it to the GMC brand only makes sense. Obviously there's no requirement to use a GMC Yukon as the donor vehicle for the Jimmy, as it's functionally identical to a Tahoe, but wouldn't you want to keep it in the family? Related Video:
Next-gen Chevy Camaro ZL1 teases big changes under its camo
Mon, Aug 3 2015With work complete on the lighter, stiffer 2016 Camaro, it's time for Chevrolet's engineers to really start having fun by developing the next, ZL1 version. Here it is for the first time. Unfortunately, the muscle car is still wearing quite a bit of camouflage, but the concealment isn't enough to hide some of the meaner model's more obvious performance tweaks. Starting from the front, this Camaro now wears a much more aggressive front fascia with bigger air inlets. Managing the airflow around the engine bay is clearly a big deal because another photo reveals a fairly large extractor in the hood, as well. Moving down the profile, the lower side sills and orientation of the camo suggest some blistered fenders in the back to cover wider rubber, and at the very rear a much larger wing further suggests the need to keep things planted to the road. Check out the comparison images in the gallery for a better look at the tweaks. What will power the next ZL1 is still entirely a mystery, although sticking with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 could be a possibility, especially if you take the big extractor in the hood as a hint. Whereas the current ZL1 makes 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque, the LT4 in the latest Cadillac CTS-V pumps out 640 hp and 630 lb-ft. Combined with the Camaro's other improvements, we're thinking that this new ZL1 will be quite a hot ticket, and based on these spy shots, we can't wait to find out.
How GM engineers are using diaper 'snow' to keep you warm
Thu, Jan 8 2015Testing how snow affects General Motors' vehicles isn't really a problem right now for the company's engineers, but in the dog days of summer the process isn't exactly easy. The only real option is for them to book time at the automaker's climatic wind tunnel. However, a flash of brilliance from an engineer allows snow to be simulated regardless of the temperature outside, and the discovery is all because of his daughter's wet diaper. The realization came to GM Thermal Systems engineer Nicholas Jahn while he was swimming with his daughter and noticed how her diaper ballooned in size in the water. He found out the substance that makes this possible is called sodium polyacrylate. When the material gets wet it grows and forms fluffy flakes that are a close imitation of snow. Best of all, the stuff can be prepared easily any time of the year, and it's reusable. The engineering team uses the material to test the effectiveness of the heating systems of GM's vehicles. They spread the sodium polyacrylate over the inlets at the base of the windshield to obstruct the airflow and then crank the heater. After some time, they can see how much is being sucked into the system and design more efficient systems in the future. See how the process works in the video above and read about the diaper discovery in GM's press release below. Diapers Change Chevy Cruze Winter Warm-up Time GM validation engineer uses diaper material "snow" to reduce frigid drives 2015-01-06 DETROIT – An item commonly found on an infant's changing table is helping General Motors' engineers simulate snow year round, ensuring heating systems in cars like the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze can quickly and efficiently warm its interior. Packed snow can prevent air from entering the inlet panel at the bottom of the windshield, obstructing the flow of air into the heating system and reducing the amount of air it can push out. This can lead to less efficient warming of the car's interior and windshield defrosting. "The last thing anyone wants to do when it's freezing cold out is scrape their windshield," said Nicholas Jahn, GM Vehicle Thermal Systems engineer. "The testing we perform on the Chevrolet Cruze with the diaper material allows us to maximize the car's heating capabilities." Ironically, Jahn stumbled upon his diaper-based testing method in the middle of summer. During a swim with his daughter, he noticed her diaper multiplied in size when it came into contact with water.
