Great Running 1957 Chevy 1/2 Ton Pick Up Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States
This fun truck has been my daily driver for most of the winter up to now. It started with no problems in temps as low as 41 below. ( Thank god the heater works! ) I purchased it from a guy here in Montana who got it from his Grandfather. It is a great driver with almost everything redone. As you can see most of the body work has been done. It has had new rear cab corners, cab steps, and minor dings repaired. It does still need final sanding and final prep. ( most people say NO don't paint it, I love it just like that, just clear coat it. ) It does need drivers side floor pan repaired or replaced. The motor was a complete rebuild. generator rebuilt - new regulator - new wiring - starter rebuilt - 12 volt - radiator - all new belts - new hoses - new battery - new clutch - trans gone through - ( I have a 4 speed floor shift if desired ) brakes work as good as any thing on the road. It has new tires. all gauges work as do the lights and wipers. radio with sub under the seat. I have a good windshield to go with it to replace the existing cracked one. I do not have replacement glass for the side window or wing vent since those are something i had planed to replace with new tinted glass witch is easy to buy at a reasonable price. The new bed is built great and finished with exterior urethane and has no sign of weathering. Truck steers great with no excess steering play and you can take your hands off the wheel and it goes straight as an arrow. I do have the front bumper and grill in good condition. THINK HARD ABOUT THIS----90% OF ALL PEOPLE WHO BUY A NON RESTORED VEHICLE WILL NEVER GET IT ON THE ROAD AND MOST WILL NEVER EVEN GET IT 40% DONE EVEN IF IT IS 35% DONE WHEN THEY BUY IT. THEY WILL LOSE MONEY FOR TRANSPORTING, PARTS PURCHASED, AND A LOT OF WORK. YOU CAN BUY THIS TRUCK AND DO ALMOST NOTHING OR FINISH WILE YOU DRIVE IT. I WAS GOING TO JUST FLAT BLACK IT WITH RATTLE CANS VERY CHEEP AND WOULD LOOK GREAT WITH THE RED WHEELS BUT WANTED TO LET EVERYONE SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE INSTEAD IF WONDERING IF IT WAS BUILT OUT OF BONDO AND PRIMED TO HIDE IT. BUY SMART AND HAVE FUN INSTEAD OF BUY STUPID AND WORK HARD AND HAVE NO FUN. One more note, it always costs less to ship a running truck than a dead truck. MORE PICTURES TO COME !!!!!!!! please feel free to contact me Rick (406) 570-7770 THANKS

Officially Official: Chevrolet replaces Daewoo name in Korea

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra could get independent rear suspension
Fri, Jan 3 2020The Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra could reportedly receive a variant of the four-link independent rear suspension found under the new Tahoe and Suburban. While that's not a surprise, a recent report suggests electrification, not comfort, convinced General Motors to make the change. Replacing the time-tested solid rear axle with an independent suspension will improve comfort, handling and off-road prowess, while adding weight, and likely making the trucks a little bit more expensive. It's a fair trade-off, but GM Authority learned the real reason for the swap is that at least one of the pickups will spawn an electric model, and it's more difficult to package a bulky battery pack around a solid rear axle. The independent rear suspension takes up far less space, even if it has more moving parts. General Motors will build its first regular-production electric pickup on an evolution of the Silverado's T1 platform named BT1, according to the same source. The b stands for -- you guessed it -- batteries. The firm reportedly doesn't want to make two suspensions for cost reasons, so the independent setup will come standard regardless of whether the truck runs on gasoline, diesel, or electricity. As a bonus, Chevrolet and GMC could choose to offer their T1-based trucks with Magnetic Ride Control or an air suspension, options available on the 2021 Suburban and Tahoe. The independent rear suspension will also find its way to the next-generation GMC Yukon due to be revealed January 14, and to the 2021 Cadillac Escalade scheduled to make its debut February 4. The long-rumored, born-again Hummer will get it, too, because it will arrive as an electric model built on the BT1 platform. It's worth noting none of this is official, and General Motors has remained quiet about what's next for its new suspension design, and what will be under its electric truck's sheet metal. If the GM Authority report is accurate, the Silverado (pictured) and the Sierra could ditch their solid rear axle for the 2021 model year. The change will likely be accompanied by other tweaks inside and out. Featured Gallery 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 View 16 Photos Chevrolet GMC Truck
GM seatbelt recall affects over 1m Silverados and Sierras
Fri, Apr 15 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall 895,232 examples of the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the US. The campaign will also affect the trucks in markets worldwide, and the total number the company will recall is 1,037,982. The Problem: A steel cable connects the seatbelt to the vehicle, but over time repeated bending can cause the part to fatigue and separate. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will enlarge the side shield opening and install a pusher bracket on the tensioner. Technicians will also replace the entire tensioner assembly if necessary. If You Own One: GM will contact owners about the recall. The company hasn't said when those notifications would begin. More Information: There are still about 3,000 new examples of these older pickups at dealerships. Until mechanics fix the problem, these vehicles are subject to a stop-sale. Similar problems have affected the General's vehicles in the past. In 2015, the company recalled over 400,000 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu for fatiguing cables. It also hit over a million Lambda platform crossovers in 2014. GM Recalling Certain 2014-15 Pickups to Repair Seat Belts DETROIT – GM is voluntarily recalling 895,232 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the United States because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat. This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue. For trucks in the field, dealers will enlarge the side shield opening, install a pusher bracket on the tensioner, and if necessary, replace the tensioner assembly. The recall in the United States includes a stop-sale of approximately 3,000 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers. Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at either https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ website or at https://my.gm.com/web/portal/ownercenter to see if their vehicle is part of the recall. GM also will voluntarily recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
