1956 Chevy Big Window Long-bed Stepside, Runs And Drives on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
Up for sale is a 56 Chevy 3200 series 1/2 ton long-bed step-side with the big rear window. Don’t see many of these around at least I haven’t. The truck is about 99 percent original showing 55K miles, but cannot confirm if true or not. Has the 235 6-cyl with a granny 4-speed, radio delete with an aftermarket heater. The truck does run and drive, but could us a good tune-up, carb adjustment, intake exhaust gasket (donut type) and a brake adjustment. Truck starts up right away and idles on it’s own. Emergency brake still works. I drove the truck off a flat-bed tow rig , down the street and parked in drive-way. Has a strong clutch and trans with all gears shifting smoothly. Brakes do work but again, could use some attention. All the lights and gauges work, has the original 15” steel rims, 6-lug with original hubcaps and original wood bed still in ok condition. Front and rear windows are fine except a small BB size hole in the front windshield. Front floor is solid with no rust or rot. Cab corners are also very solid. Passenger door shows some rust/rot at the bottom. Drivers door needs an adjustment and will not close and window is cracked. The latch does in gage with the door handle and Probably a simple fix but I’m not a body-man. The truck needs body-work/paint and is very restorable. Front seat is in excellent shape and is either original, or was re-upholstered years ago. Truck still retains the original black and yellow plates, has a clear title and is on a non-op with no back fees. Original steering wheel in nice shape with no cracks. The holes you see in both doors have been plugged with silicone where large mirrors were placed and removed. I have the smaller chrome type, along with new taillight lenses. Spare tire carrier is under the rear of bed, bumper jack and another door panel under the front seat as well. Ignition keys seem to also be original. The original color was the ocean green. Truck was painted a tan many years ago and then white. This truck was a mess when I got it showing all these colors. I basically sanded the entire truck down, looking for existing body damage. I then primered in flat white. History of vehicle: Was used for years by a church nestled in the hills as a security vehicle and then retired to a warehouse where is was stored for at least 20 years, along with another pick-up. Previous owner I purchased the vehicle from, basically used the truck on his 20+ acres for hauling and other needs for the past 12-14 years. The vehicle was left out in the elements. I have placed a reasonable reserve based on overall condition of vehicle. If you have any questions, please e-mail or call me direct at (408) 448-1717. Buyer is responsible for their own shipping, towing etc: I accept Paypal for a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 and must be received within 24 hrs at the close of auction. Balance can be made with cash in person, cashier’s check and/or a money order. Vehicle is for sale locally and will end auction if sold. Thanks for viewing. |

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.
