Rare 1955 Chevrolet 1/2 ton first series short bed pick-up.
I’m listing this truck for a friend; he drives this truck everyday as his daily driver. 1955 first series are very rare, they have a 1 piece windshield from the factory, they have open drive-line rear axle, and a unique bed with flat top rails and raised/embossed bed sides.
This truck is a nice driver with a modern 292 inline Chevrolet 6cyl, an S-10 5 speed transmission, and the original rear-end. The Truck has a “Sids” (http://www.droppedaxles.com)
4” dropped front axle with new Kingpins, new tapered tie-rod ends, a new tie rod and drag-link, new “Timken” tapered front wheel bearings, new rear brakes including drums, new dual reservoir master cylinder, 4” lowering blocks in the rear, and new exhaust. The truck also has a new 12 volt heater fan motor and 12volt electric 2spd wipers, all the lights work except the dome light (it’s a new dome light just not hooked up). All the gauges work except the fuel gauge, and the truck also has an all new 12 volt wiring harness. The heater core has not been hooked up as of yet. The truck has 225/70/16 tires on 16” steel wheels; it has an original rare blade rear bumper also. This truck has the indent in the L-rear fender for the spare but a non-spare tire L-fender is included with the truck.
The truck appears to have some old “bondo” in the cab corners and some rust in the L-front cab corner. The fenders and doors are very solid as is the bed. The driver side window needs installed and the passenger wing window is cracked. This truck is an un-restored nice truck with nice patina that can be driven daily as is or you could paint it and make it your own, but all the mechanicals on the truck are in great shape.
This truck is currently a daily driver and will cruise at 65-70 all day and gets around 19-20 miles per gallon.
The owner is only selling the truck because he has to replace his shop roof.
The reserve is 5,000.00 I think that is more than fair for a solid driver, which needs nothing to be enjoyed as is. Good luck and bid to own. The owner would like a cashier’s check or cash in person for the truck. The truck must be paid for before it is shipped
Good luck and thank you for looking at my item.
Please check my other auctions often as I’m cleaning out my shop with 25+ years of accumulation. I will also be selling more cars and project cars.
Due to the fact that this is a 50+ year old used truck and I can not control how it will be used by the new owner there is no warranty or returns. This truck is sold as-is. What I have listed and what you see on the truck in the pictures is what I have and what you get.
I will need a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 48hrs of sale, and then balance must be paid in full within 10 days of end of auction. If not paid within 10 days the truck will be re-listed and deposit not returned. (I will work with you if there is a good excuse. I will not lower price though). I will not charge storage on the truck, if the truck is paid for it can be stored at my home for awhile (1 or 2 months, not a year) until shipping is arranged.
I will not arrange shipping for the truck that is up to you the buyer but I will work with you and your shipper in any way I can.

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing
Tue, Sep 29 2015The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
