This 1957 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck originally came with a 6 cylinder engine. Years ago the original owner converted it to a V8 using all 1957 Chevrolet factory mounting hardware. Mounting is done by the use of two stud posts at the front of the engine suspended on rubber biscuits for vibration isolation. This is the way the Chevrolet factory mounted the engine on V8 equipped pickups in 1957. Engine is either a 265 or 283 and it turns over, but the bad news is it was stored without sufficient antifreeze and has either pushed out a freeze plug or cracked the block. Water leaks out from behind the exhaust manifold on one side so, it being hidden by the exhaust manifold I cannot see where it is coming from exactly. Good news is this truck has only resided on the west coast it's whole life (we don't salt the roads) and more good news is that it has resided inside a dry storage building since 1995 and therefore it does not have as extensive rusting as you will see in a lot of unrestored 1957 pickups. Sure it has rust in the usual places but take a close look at the attached pictures and you won't see cavernous rotting anywhere. Original factory installed granny gear 4 speed, rearend, and front suspension. Frame is original and unmolested. Radio space in dash has been cut on, but I am supplying an original Chevrolet mid dash section to repair this radio opening. This dash piece I am supplying is NOT a reproduction piece. Original matching 1970's era Aluminum dish mags, manufactured by US Mags come with the truck. Tires hold air but are shot. Aftermarket air cleaner comes with sale as well as a new JEGS wiring harness, that has been started to be installed but not nearly finished. Not an overly expensive harness but at least to the quality of the original wiring. The harness comes with the original JEGS supplied instructions. Hood opens and closes nicely, the hood hinges work flawlessly. Doors don't close as good as they should, would need hinge adjusting / repair to shut as well as they did on the assembly line in 1957. Typical glass damage from years of use, such as windshield wiper scrapes in the windshield, cracked side glass. Window regulator is bad on driver's door. Stock recovered seat inside cab. Rear bumper replaced with chrome step bumper many years ago, as well as a hidden heavy duty trailer hitch installed then as well. It has dual exhaust, looks like someone started to cut on inner fender wells to install headers but stopped cutting early on. To cure this problem I am including a very nice set of ORIGINAL unbent used CHEVROLET INNER FENDER WELLS, they are not reproductions. Usual dings and dents throughout, but nothing beyond the scope of a good body man. I cannot see why fenders and such would need replacing. This vehicle comes with a clear title, it is a regular title NOT a salvage or reconstructed title. VIN plate has never been removed or damaged in any way. VIN numbers on PLATE on door post matches the vin numbers on the frame by the steering box. Overall it would not be difficult to restore this back to original condition or if you choose to go in any other direction this would be a good, solid starting point. Any questions you can call me at 971-998-3530 or email me through eBay.

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?

Sat, Mar 7 2015

General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
