Rare find, original 1955 Chevy 3600 (3/4 ton heavy duty) long bed step-side pickup with NAPCO 4 wheel drive package ready for restoration. I was told that this was a forest service truck that had the correct period 1955 Napco 4 wheel drive package installed (as evidenced by the front axle driven on driver's side) then relegated to farm duties. Government agencies were typically the only ones who could afford it back in the day as the NAPCO package cost as much as the truck did). This truck also has the rare "working" Power Take-off option controlled by the "Spicer" knob on dash. It appears to have all the correct original Napco emblems and plates installed on the dash and fenders etc. Even has original style "foot pedal" start. Truck runs and drives but motor needs complete exhaust and tune-up (pops on deceleration of motor). Drove it into town for ID/OD with a gas can under the hood. "Really", not street-able without restoration, but can be driven onto truck to avoid winch charge. This tired old truck is a very rare find and will obviously require a thorough restoration to bring it back to it's former glory and prestige, but will return on investment. Comes with open signed South Dakota title. This is the real deal.
Seller requires immediate PayPal deposit and complete payment within 7days. Funds must clear before truck is released. Please do not bid if you are not going to complete auction.
Last two pictures #23 & #24 are of comparison vehicle only and other vehicle (Blue 57 Chevy truck 4x4) is not for sale or included in this auction.
Good luck, High Bidder gets it!

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
