1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck First Series Short Stepside Original on 2040-cars
Kalama, Washington, United States
|
Up for sale is the very last of the First Series Chevrolet 3100 half ton short step side pickup trucks. 1955 was a split year for the Chevrolet truck. The first half of the 3100 model line of 1955 production was called the 'First Series'. At the mid point of Chevrolet's 1955 truck production they switched to an entirely different 'Second Series' truck, called the 'Task Force' series. This 1955 half ton 3100 model is a very nice find in that this truck is very rust free for a non restored vehicle. In the state we live in the roads are not salted in the winters. Therefore this truck does not have enormous amounts of rust usually found in other vehicles from states that do salt the roads in the winters. BOTH doors open and shut as flawlessly as the day this truck was built with ZERO slop at the hinges. The cab corners are absolutely rust free, as are the floorboards and the bottoms of the doors. There are dings and small dents in several places throughout, but as you can see from the supplied pictures these are minimal. Comes with stock seat, the original tin wraparound panel at the bottom of the seat, stock steering wheel and column. The stock gauges are all in place and the dash is uncut and undamaged in any way. All the wheels are stock 16 inch and it comes with three original hubcaps and even the spare tire and spare fender mounting rack. I have loaded as many pictures as eBay allows me to (24 in all) to assist you in deciding if this truck is right for your plans. Missing engine and transmission. Someone removed the steering box but we have loaded, unloaded and moved this truck around the shop by adjusting the wheels by hand while we move the vehicle wherever we need it to be. The vin plate is in place, is clearly marked with its serial number and has never been damaged in any way. Truck comes with a clear Washington state title. It is NOT a salvage or reconstructed title. If you have any questions please email us and we will find the answers for you as fast as possible. $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit required within 48 hours of close of auction. Full payment required within 7 days of auction's close. Winning bidder must arrange shipping but we will assist with loading the vehicle at time of pick up of this truck. Vehicle is sold as is, where is with no warranty either expressed or implied. Good luck on the bidding!!

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
