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 veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Recharge Wrap-up: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts

Mon, Dec 7 2015

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC. Read more at Green Car Congress.GM Canada will build a fleet of autonomous 2017 Chevrolet Volts. The self-driving Volts will be deployed for testing at GM's Warren, Michigan Technical Center. Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology. Read in a press release more from GM Canada, or at Green Car Congress.Carwatt is showing an electric Renault Trafic powered by second-life batteries at the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.
