1954 5 Window 3100 truck. This truck is in great shape. I have had it for 2 years and did everything I thought it should have to restore it to its original character. This has the original engine and most importantly the original 2 tone deluxe blue interior cab. The 2 tone deluxe interior was an upgrade in 1954 and this interior is very rare -- see the original Chevy brochure in the photos. I only know of a few other trucks with the original interior 2 tone deluxe paint.

The engine runs great. I have had two mechanics review the truck for all mechanical issues and none were found. This still has the original 6V system, which hold a full charge and never had any issues.

The bed is sealed IPE, a Brazilian hardwood, which is dense and has the luster of mahogany. All chrome on the truck is in great shape.

The truck comes with an original period correct fire extinguisher, to be located and installed by the next Owner. It also includes a cab visor which I removed because I liked the look of the truck without the visor better.

Here is a list of the items I tackled. Everything is documented with photos and receipts.

• New kingpins
• New fuel pump
• New heater and radiator hoses. All nuts and bolts used in my part of the restoration are stainless steel.
• New brake lines -- current drum brakes work extremely well.
• Restored original AM radio (rare) now gets AM, FM and can plug into a device like an IPhone
• New door windlace (be happy I did that -- it is not a fun task)
• Reconditioned the vacuum wiper control
• New speedometer
• New speedometer cable
• New cross sills and rear cross sill
• New stainless steel bed strips
• New neoprene tailgate trunion. Neoprene makes the tailgate operation almost silent as opposed to the metal trunions.
• Re-wired the rear lights and blinkers (all electric items on the truck work)
• New rear tail light chrome wire loom.
• Complete cleaning of the frame under the bed with primer and three coats of black satin paint.
• Restored Harrison heater / defroster
• New radial tires -- makes an incredible difference in driving
• New cowl vent gasket
• New passenger side window weather-stripping, cat whiskers and vent window gaskets
• New driver's side and passenger side seat belts
• Removed, cleaned, primed and under-coated each rear fender.
• Installed fender welt on the rear fenders
• Sourced and installed the proper under-bed tire carrier (rare)
• Currently priming and painting both bed side splash fenders. All parts sandblasted first.

Here's what I might do if I keep the truck:
• Install the driver's side door window weather-stripping (I have the kit and will include it with the truck)
• Remove, clean and paint the underside of the running boards
• Remove, clean, prime and under-coat each front fender.
• Install fender welt on the front fenders
• Adjust the parking brake
• Wash, wax and drive the truck as much as possible. There is really not much left except take care of this easy to drive and reliable truck.

This truck needs to go to someone who understands the legacy of these trucks and the value of preserving the history of this specific vehicle. This is a one-of-a-kind daily driver.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.
