 For sale is a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton pickup with a 235 CID motor. When I bought this truck, I was told the motor came out of a 1954 Corvette but I have not checked the numbers to verify that. The truck ran good when it was parked several years ago, but was parked when the radiator developed a leak. The man who owned it then (a certified mechanic - I know him)  planned to use that as an opportunity  to convert it to a 12 volt, but never got around to it (it is still a 6 volt system), so the truck just sat (garaged) until I talked him into letting me buy it. The only reason I'm selling it, is I have the opportunity to buy a Harley I've wanted forever. It took me many years to get this truck, but opportunity knocks. Overall, the body is really pretty darn straight, with the exception of just a couple of minor areas (please look closely at photos). The floors are solid, cab corners are good, doors are fine...a little bit of rust and body work, but not too bad. Again, check photos. It's just a good solid truck that with some TLC would make a great Cruiser, Lowrider or Ratrod.  The tires are fair, the rims behind the hubcaps are chrome, the hubcaps are brand new - I took them out of the box for the photos. Just needs some wide whitewalls to look super cool or old school. Has Fulton sun visor. Brakes are good, steering is tight. Everything looks to be present on the truck except for the breather. Comes with extra chrome grill. The extra grill is not perfect, but it will be included in the sale.  The driver's door glass and passenger door glass and quarter glass are cracked...the rest of the glass is good. The seat is not original to the truck, but very good condition with seatbelts and no rips. Has driver's side peep mirror with Kansas Jayhawk sticker. Rock Chalk Jayhawks!  As I said, it took me many years to talk my friend into letting me buy this truck, and I finally was able to do that the first of the year, so the title has been applied for (on January 10th) and will be in any day (Kansas has just switched to a new DMV system, so it could be as long as another couple or 3 weeks, or it could be tomorrow). I do have a copy of the registration I can provide to the successful bidder, and the title - if it's not already here by the end of auction, will be forwarded to buyer immediately upon its arrival. Please don't let this give you any pause - just look at my feedback record and know you can be comfortable in my reputation as a longstanding eBay seller. Truck is also for sale locally, so I do reserve the right to end auction early.

Buyer is responsible for arranging for and paying for all costs associated with delivery. I do require a 500 dollar deposit within 48 hours of end of auction, with the balance to be paid within one week of auction's end. If you need more time than that, please contact me prior to bidding so we can make sure we are all on the same page with what is happening.

If you have any questions whatsoever, PLEASE contact Leroy at Seven-Eight-Five - Two-THree-Zero - Four-Nine-Nine-Two prior to bidding. I want you to feel comfortable in what you are bidding on.

I have had a number of people ask me about the reserve. I have it set at 5,000 (less than what I have in it)...so definitely a very fair reserve amount for this awesome truck. No matter what you want to do with this vehicle (ratrod, cruiser, lowrider or to simply restore it) there is a lot of truck here for the money it would take to get it to that point. Also, in the description I mistakenly wrote the seat in the truck has seatbelts. In actuality, the seat has the holes for seatbelts to slip through, but no seatbelts. Thanks for the questions, and keep them coming!


On Feb-01-13 at 11:28:23 PST, seller added the following information:

My best answer to the 'is it running and driveable question' is that, again, it was running condition, but was parked when the radiator developed a leak and the previous owner was going to use that opportunity to switch it to a 12 volt system, but never got around to it. For it to run now, it would need a radiator (a fairly inexpensive replacement piece) and a battery (I did not buy a 6 volt because, I too, would have switched it to 12 volt if I were going to keep it).  Something else I thought of, though, is that it does not have an ignition key, so you would probably want to buy a new ignition switch at a parts store (very inexpensive - ten bucks or so). Also...there are two blue pieces you can see in the back of the truck that go on sides that cover the frame above the running boards.  Again, keep the questions coming!  Thanks!

Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans

Tue, Apr 30 2019

According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?

Sat, Mar 7 2015

General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
