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. |

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids
Mon, Dec 28 2015The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
