 Thank you for looking at my auction! Up for sale is a well built 1953 Chevrolet 5 Window Pickup. The truck was built by our shop in Marion, Oh called Poor Boys Resto. You can check us out on facebook. We are a local shop who builds hot rods and customs, does full restorations, and Custom race car work. We have an owned an operated Top Sportsman drag racing team, and bring to the table 40 years of combined experience between my father and I. This truck was a project that we built to keep as our own shop truck. Looking to put more money into our car as the season draws mid-way. So the truck is up for Sale As-is. The best components and the utmost attention to detail were mandatory on this vehicle. The details on the build are below. Any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 740-262-3732

Engine- 5.3l Ls, New wires, plugs, wire heat boots, starter, and alternator. Engine and alternator was mounted using Dirty Dingo slider mounts and the Alt only set up. 60,000 MILES!!!

Drive TrainNew balanced custom driveshaft with new yoke and U-Joints built by Driveline 1 out of Columbus, OH. 75' Camaro GM 10 bolt 8.5 Rear end, Non-Posi, Drum Brakes.

Chassis- Factory chassis retained. Mustang II front suspension out of a mid 70's mustang. Front big disc brake kit. 11.5" drilled and slotted rotors with GM metric calipers.  Chassis was POR-15 painted. Boxed in the front where the IFS was installed. Brake lines are all stainless steel other than the tough bends and those are the NiCopp line. New chassis mounted power brake booster and master cylinder. Has a MANUAL mustang II rack. New Borgeson joints and stainless steel shaft were used as connections. Jegs 20 circuit wiring harness powers the chassis and inner cab. All lights are functional and new.
Truck Sits where it does because I like to drive things and not avoid railroad tracks or high bumps.  It lays running boards out in the grass and sits about 2" off the ground otherwise. Truck was built for functionality not to be a trailer queen. If that's the route you want to go you can adjust the front bag cups, and i will include a rear step notch kit, made for this frame from Gambino customs bought here on ebay.

Exhaust
- Hooker Block Hugger Headers, 2.25 single Custom built exhaust with a Flowmaster 40 Series muffler.

Air-Ride- The Air-Ride System is 100% RideTech other than the rear bags and mounts. Installed the RideTech front mustang II bag brackets, bags, and shock kit. Has the upgraded kit that comes with a larger rear tank, 2 compressors, and the red billet valve assembly which is mounted behind the seat. The rear set up is Slam Specialties 7" bags for a much nicer ride, paired up with Thor Brothers brackets.

Fuel System- Tanks Inc fuel injection tank. Bought the pump that is capable of handling 600hp. (We were going to run turbos on it.) The fuel System is 100% 6an braided line. Has the Corvette regulator system which is the return/filter/regulator all in one little tube.

InteriorThe dash was painted black with the polished glove box and radio cover. Factory re-covered and Fully re-built seat. All factory trim is in place and functional. It still needs carpeted, gauges, and the door glass put in. *You must purchase glass* Used the truck on nice days so never worried about it. Has a new chrome tilt column, a a new grant steering wheel. The turn signal and hazards are built into the column. Has factory door panels that i have not installed. Truck comes with another set of door that have all door and inner workings in it. You will need DOOR GLASS. All other glass in the truck was replaced with new seals.

Exterior- The truck was painted about 20 years and shows it with the beautiful patina it has. Has some bondo in the lower rear fenders, and front lower front fenders. That tail gate has quite a bit of bondo too. Not because of rust but i think because they were trying to smooth the lines out. The cab was purchased from kansas and has a few dents but ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST. Bought a fulton visor to go along with it. Bed is not finished in the pictures but will be by auction end. Its getting red-oak to enclose the tank and Air-ride. There is absolutely zero room to work with using the factory chassis so instead of raising the bed floor 6-8 inches like an s-10 build i placed the tank near the cab for easy fill-ups and you will still have 4 1/2 foot of whole depth bed to use for parts, chairs, coolers, and etc.. You will have 8 bolts to take out for any air-ride service or fuel system problems. *Keeping it functional* especially for those without a lift.

Wheels- Wheels are Boss 338 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear. These are wrapped in new Nitto Neo Gen tires. Rears have a nice dish to them and give it that hot rod look.

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement

Sun, May 31 2015

General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles.

Is this GM's next electric crossover?

Thu, Nov 16 2017

GM made headlines this week when CEO Mary Barra presented the company's electrification and automation plans at the Barclays Global Automotive Conference in New York. "We are committed to a future electric vehicle portfolio that will be profitable," Barra said, which could be taken as a jab at Tesla. In the presentation ( PDF here), though, we see a new vehicle in a slide titled "Leveraging existing BEV platform to expand in near term." The vehicle, seen above, accompanied the captions "New CUV entries" and "two entries by 2020." Is this a sneak preview of an upcoming electric crossover from GM? The image seems too realistic and intentional to be a random placeholder. If this is, indeed, an upcoming battery-electric CUV based on the Bolt, the question remains: Will it be a Chevy or a Buick? It has no visible badging, but it shares DNA from both brands. As Inside EVs points out, though, it does bear a resemblance to the Chevrolet FNR-X concept unveiled in Shanghai earlier this year. With two CUVs on the way, it's not unthinkable that there could be a version for each brand. In addition to this slide, the presentation includes plans for an "All new multi-brand, multi-segment platform" launching in 2021. The all-new modular battery system will cost less than $100 per kWh, providing higher energy density and faster charging. The platform will host at least nine different vehicles, including a compact crossover, seven-seat luxury SUV and a large commercial van. GM has said it will launch 20 new EVs by 2023, and that it targets 1 million EV sales per year by 2026. Many of those sales will be in China. Related Video:

Frustrated GM investors ask what more Mary Barra can do

Mon, Oct 22 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra has transformed the No. 1 U.S. automaker in her almost five years in charge, but that is still not enough to satisfy investors. Ahead of third-quarter results due on Oct. 31, GM shares are trading about 6 percent below the $33 per share price at which they launched in 2010 in a post-bankruptcy initial public offering. The Detroit carmaker's stock is down 22 percent since Barra took over in January 2014. After hitting an all-time high of $46.48 on Oct. 24, 2017, the shares have declined 33 percent. In the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 7.8 percent. Several shareholders contacted by Reuters said GM could face a third major action by activist shareholders in less than four years if the share price does not improve. "I've been expecting it," said John Levin, chairman of Levin Capital Strategies. "It just seems a tempting morsel to somebody." Levin's firm owns more than seven million GM shares. Barra has guided the company through the settlement of a federal criminal probe of a mishandled safety recall, sold off money-losing European operations, and returned $25 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks from 2012 through 2017. GM declined to comment for this story, but the company's executives privately express frustration with the market's reluctance to see it as anything more than a manufacturer tied mainly to auto market sales cycles. GM's profitable North American truck and SUV business and its money-making China operations are valued at just $14 billion, excluding the value of GM's stake in its $14.6 billion Cruise automated vehicle business and its cash reserves from its $44 billion market capitalization. The recent slump in the Chinese market, GM's largest, and plateauing U.S. demand are ratcheting up the pressure. GM is one of the few global automakers without a founding family or a government to serve as a bulwark against corporate raiders. In 2015, a group led by investor Harry Wilson pressed GM to launch a $5 billion share buyback, and commit to what is now an $18 billion ceiling on the level of cash the company would hold. In 2017, GM fended off a call by hedge fund manager David Einhorn to split its common stock shares into two classes. Einhorn, whose firm still owned more than 21 million shares at the end of June, declined to comment about GM's stock price. Other investors said there were no clear alternatives to Barra's approach.
