1955 Chevrolet Truck 3100 Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars

Year:1955 Mileage:13714
Location:

1955 Chevy truck...i have included the vin.  I bought this truck last fall from a location that had used it for a lot truck until the gas tank began to leak.  I towed it home and got it started.   I have done the following to the truck...removed and JB weld patched the small pin holes in bottom of gas tank then painted the tank three coats (no more leak)...ran a new gas line...installed a new sending unit in the tank...installed a new glass bowl inline gas filter...changed oil...new spark plugs...new battery...truck started right up.   Installed new brake line, master cylinder, and rebuilt all four drum brakes including having the drum refinished/ground and new wheel cylinders.  Sand blasted the wheels and primed and painted new yellow as seen in pics...re packed wheel bearings.  I don't know if the mileage is accurate...I am not sure about the ebay spec for cab type and ebay spec for drive listed as U/K (don't know what that means)...the wheel base is 114" and the bed is 6'...so I assumed the truck is a 3100 based on what I read about the 55 trucks.  Also the front bumper came from a friends 1964 Chevy truck and is not attached as you will need to weld new mounting bracket to complete the attachment.  The seat appears to have come from another vehicle...pretty sure it is not the original seat.  As you can see in the pics, the bed of the truck is a steel plate someone installed.  I will try to answer any questions you may have with my limited knowledge.  Obviously the truck is offered in "as is" condition and I hope the new owner restores it or turns to a rat rod that screams!!!

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

GM recalling 521,817 cars in two campaigns

Tue, May 12 2015

General Motors is issuing two, separate recalls covering a total of 521,817 vehicles worldwide. The larger campaign covers 468,887 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Specifically, 437,045 of these are in the US, and the rest are outside the country. In these sedans, a steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate. GM knows of 36 claims about the problem but only one minor injury. According to The Detroit News, this happened when a taxi driver hit his head. To fix things, dealers will replace the "outboard lap mounting bracket," which will move the tensioner rearward. They'll also inspect and if necessary replace the steel cable and lap pretensioner. In the second campaign, 52,930 examples the 2015 Chevy Colorado and 2015 GMC Canyon have seat frame attachment hooks that were installed incorrectly during assembly. GM hasn't received any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities about this problem. Dealers will inspect the affected trucks and repair as necessary. GM spokesperson Alan Adler told Autoblog that he didn't yet have a specific date when affected owners would receive official mailings about either of these recalls. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 48,309 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks in the U.S. because certain seat frame attachment hooks were not properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. Dealers will inspect the potentially affected seats for proper installation and repair if necessary. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 52,930 including 4,620 vehicles sold in Canada. General Motors is recalling 437,045, 2011-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibus in the U.S. because the flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement in the seat. Dealers will replace the outboard lap mounting bracket to relocate the tensioner slightly rearward. Dealers will inspect the cable and, if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner. GM knows of 36 claims, no crashes or fatalities and one minor injury reportedly related to the condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 468,887 including Canada, Mexico and exports.
