I am selling a 1956 Chevrolet 3600 Pickup truck that is the complete package. Truck began life in sunny, dry California. About 15 years ago the former owner bought it and began a cross country trip to Massachusetts. Halfway across the country the motor blew and he installed a rebuilt 400 small block (sorry the old block is not available), and completed the trip. Upon reaching his destination, he spent the next 2 years buying over $5,000 worth of parts, catalogues and upgrades but sadly as is often the case the project stalled when life stepped in and now after a long dry storage this awesome truck is up for sale.


Truck is pretty much rust free but due to long storage has surface stuff you can see in the pictures but very slight. The frame is clean enough to eat off of! Interior is the same with solid floors. Some rust has appeared underneath doors but that is it. Truck runs fine but with todays "corn gas" naturally needs to be fine tuned with fresh fuel. A brand new fuel pump and 700 Holly carburetor were just installed.I ran it around town and everything works as it should including brakes. The power of this motor will please any new owner. Frame is spotless, interior is pretty much untouched with solid seat and floors. Body is very straight with only a couple small spots that need looking at. Brakes, suspension etc., are all working fine. Past owner planned to switch out the front end and all parts are there to finish if you choose, according to him. I took pictures of it all and it appears that except for a coupe bushings, he is correct.

Parts List;

400 small block, rebuilt
4 speed close ratio transmission
3.59 posi rear end
Hurst shifter
aluminum intake
headers
dual exhaust
electronic ignition
Holly 4-barrel carb
**New Mustang II front end 
   (independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and 11 inch disc brakes)
   in boxes to be installed
New hardwood (appears to be teak or mahogany) kit and stainless steel bed kit in boxes to be installed
chrome water pump
brand new Holley 700 (installed)
brand new fuel pump (installed)
New Stainless Steel Adjustable Steering Column
New rubber gaskets for all windows unopened
New Power Brake booster and pedal
New Master Cylinder 
Sway Bar
Repair manuals and parts catalogues to assist in the project
Most boxes were unopened with original invoices included! Totaling over $5,000 from purchase dates
(Sadly, the tailgate was lost while motor was being installed but are available on line for less than $200.00)

This truck is the complete package for the Father and son project or retired gear head to complete and have a very rare truck that will be worth at least double what the package costs. These old trucks are harder and harder to find, especially in this condition with such an extensive group of parts. Truck comes with a clear MA title, so no issues for future registration to the new owner. Naturally the vehicle has no warranty due to age and due to being for sale locally I reserve the right to end the auction early. I am happy to help load vehicle for transport but shipping costs are the responsibility of new owner. I have tried to describe the truck honestly but probably am forgetting something, so I encourage questions since my mind reading skills are very poor.

Due to so many (not serious) people out there, I need to speak with anyone with either negative or less than 10 feedbacks, or the bids will be cancelled. This is serious business and I do not have the time, energy or money to deal with dishonest folks who ruin auctions.

Good luck bidding on this classic, collector truck. A nice running, driving, stopping , mostly rust free vehicle with a ton of parts and manuals to make you the talk of your local car shows!! You can enjoy driving the truck as is, while working on it. Many more pictures are available and I can shoot addition ones if you like. Please include a phone number with your questions and I will be happy to discuss this awesome truck with you.

Thanks for viewing my auction!!

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.

Thu, Jul 14 2022

All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.

Sinkhole Opens Up In National Corvette Museum, Swallows Eight Cars

Wed, Feb 12 2014

More cars are being moved inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. to avoid falling down the same sinkhole that swallowed eight classic sports cars early this morning, Autoblog reported. Museum officials said the hole was discovered when motion sensors activated around 5:45 a.m. The rescue mission can be viewed on the museum's live feed cameras, which weren't working after the sinkhole emerged. A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," both on loan from General Motors, were among the cars that fell into the sinkhole. The museum owned the other affected Corvettes, which included a 1963 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car and the 1 millionth Corvette ever produced. The state of the cars at the bottom of the hole isn't known, but trial lawyer and sinkhole expert Ted Corless said the cars may be a total loss for the museum and GM. "Most states, including Kentucky, exclude damage caused by sinkhole activity," he said. "There will be, in all likelihood, a claim made, but a lot of policies would specifically exclude these kinds of damages." Corless has 15 years experience dealing with sinkholes. He said that typically neither the building, nor the cars themselves are protected under their insurance policies. "I would have to say, more likely then not, they're going to have an uninsured loss measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars." The museum is closed Wednesday while a structural engineer assesses the damage.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
