Up for auction is my 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. I purchased the truck locally just over a year ago with the intentions of restoring it. When I purchased it the original 216 ran good. It also drove and stopped well. The previous owner replaced many brake and fuel components and upgraded it to 12v. I replace the plugs, wires, fuel pump, rebuilt the carb and put in a new battery. It ran just as it should before I started to disassemble it. This is a project I started but unfortunately due to military relocation I am unable to finish it. The truck really is not as bad as the pictures make it out to be. This is a southern truck so rust is minimal for its age. I started to replace the floor pans (see pics). The cab corners and rockers are original metal and in great shape. There are various dings, dents and minor rust spots throughout the vehicle. Again, understand this is a project! This truck is complete except for windshield and rear glass, tailgate and some bed ribs. I have extra parts including a set of doors, a rebuildable 235 short block and various other parts. I recently had the seat reupholstered (top and bottom). It's sitting on brand new white wall tires ordered from diamondback tires ($849.00 I have the receipt). The steering wheel has also been redone. I have approximately $1000.00 of odds and ends from LMC truck that will also go with in the sale including but not limited to floor pans (the passenger side is almost done). I really hate to sell this project but I know I won't get it done anytime soon. Due to its current state, the truck does not run. It does roll and stop just fine. It may be running in the next couple days if I find time to mess with it. The truck does not come with a title because Alabama does not issues titles for vehicles this old. It is currently registered and insured in my name. All you need is a copy of the current registration, a bill of sale and if your state requires a title, they will be able to issue one.

This is a project that could quickly be put back together and on the road within a of couple days.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me and I will do my best to answer them. Also, if you would like to look at the truck in person, please contact me and we can arrange a showing.

Truck is for sale locally so I have the right to end auction early.

Truck must be picked up ASAP after auction. Like I said, I'm moving and it has to go. The truck is located in Daleville AL, approximately 25 minutes west of Dothan, AL

Happy bidding.

$100.00 NON-REFUNDABLE PayPal deposit due within 48 hrs. I prefer the remaining balance to be paid in cash at pickup.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

GM CEO to meet with U.S. lawmakers over job cuts

Fri, Nov 30 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra plans to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss the company's plans to halt production at five plants in North America next year and cut up to 15,000 jobs, two congressional aides said on Friday. GM has come under harsh criticism from lawmakers from both major political parties, and from President Donald Trump, since Monday when it announced the biggest restructuring for the U.S. No. 1 carmaker since its bankruptcy a decade ago. Barra is expected to meet with lawmakers from Michigan and Ohio, where GM plans to shutter three plants, as well as senior leaders in Congress. GM did not immediately comment. Barra has been calling lawmakers this week to explain the decision to end production. Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies for GM. The Detroit automaker plans to halt production next year at three assembly plants: the Lordstown small-car factory near Youngstown, Ohio; the Detroit-Hamtramck complex in Detroit; and the Oshawa, Ontario, assembly complex near Toronto. It will also stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse. Additionally, GM plans to shutter the Warren transmission plant outside Detroit and a plant that makes electric motors and drivetrains outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Cruze compact car will be discontinued in the U.S. market in 2019, although GM may continue building it in Mexico for other markets, Barra said. Reporting by David Shepardson. Related Video:
