Before the description a brief history lesson. I have had a lot cars over the years,mainly V8 Fords, and thought it would be nice to try something different. A nice funky 50's pickup eather Ford or Chevy. Not a show car but a driver and not to expensive. I found the truck locally owned by a women for the last 15-20 years and only driven occassionally. While it looks like a 53 it is really a miss-mosh of 53 and 55. The cab is 55 and the rest,front sheet metal and rear bed and fenders, are 53. But I like the look of a 53 over a 55 and bought it. The issue is the truck is bigger in overall size then I really wanted, takes up my whole garage and have not been happy with my purchase since day one. So I want to move on to something else. Because of it's makeup this is not a truck to restore. Streetrod ( how sinfull but ok in this case) or leave alone as a funky old truck to drive around. I always get the thumbs up espically from the women who seem to like old trucks and at my age that includes the older women. Enough rambling with the past now for the description

Like I stated the truck is a mixture of parts But is a nice looking vehicle. Blue paint was done many years ago and has held up well. You can see a few spots where old body work was done but no holes you can look through. There is one spot where the paint is lifting and you might want to touch up but I have left alone. Truck looks nice in a walk around. Interior was done over and in a roll and pleat. 235 6 which starts right and idles like an old Caddy.No smoke and runs strong with good oil pressure. 3 speed tramsmission with Hurst floor shifter and open drive rear end.New front wheel bearings and seals.Wheel cylinders,drums and linings are in great shape and stops beautifully. I put in new wiring and all lights and directionls and horn work. New Halagon headlamps. New radiator, hoses, belts, fluids, 6volt battery and cables. With it's low rear,4/11??, it pulls strong off the line. There was an old non original radio which is removed and I have not replaced. Wipers work fine with new blades. Frame and underneath while old is in fine shape with no rust out.

I have done some work on the truck but have decided that I do not want to put any more money into this project. I just don't love it enough. I drive around on the present tires but they should be promptly replaced. Drivers door latch should be replaced and I cracked the drivers door glass because I was to lazy to fix the lock and kept slamming the door.Gas gauge and speedo need fixing.Steering should be looked at but I can drive it easily with no shimmy. Probably want seat belts. Have fun and sort things out as you go.

Truck is registured as a 1955 and id plate matches registration. Current NYS plates and inspection. Sold with New York State transferable registration and bill of sale. No titles in NY befor 1974. Visits and rides are welcome and I can do a Skype walk around. Ask questions and prefer phone calls over emails. Have I left anything out? Bill

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:
