1956 Chevrolet 3200 Pickup Rat Rod Built in the Traditional-Style, She sits low with just the right stance, and drives excellent. Best of all, no airbags or switches to deal with. The truck is a 1956 Chevrolet 3200 long box. Most of the trucks you see are the shorter 3100's making this one pretty unique. It sat on a farm for almost 30 years before being rescued and brought back to life. Its been completely redone mechanically, but still wears the original patina acquired during its life on the farm. Built over a 1976 Chevrolet 2wd Suburban frame and running gear, it is the best combination of modern drive-line and classic patina! This Truck was Featured (Centerfold) in the very First Issue of Rat Rod Magazine May 2010
Here are some details of the build: The Frame was shortened 2' to fit the wheel wells of the 1956 body. It was then narrowed 6" in the front. The front suspension consists of 3" Drop Spindles, 2" Drop Coils, custom upper A arms, new shocks Power Steering with the tried and true Mustang II Rack and Pinion Freshly Rebuilt 454 Big Block The engine breathes through a new Holley 650, over the rail race headers, and straight 4" exhaust (4" exhaust/headers were recently updated and can be seen in the later photos) Turbo 400 Transmission with B&M Shift kit, and floor shifter 4 core radiator cooled by dual Flex Lite Electric Fans New Power brakes on all four corners w/ rebuilt master and power booster 12 Bolt rear end with 3:73 gears and spooled The back of the truck was lowered with new rear leafs, axle over the springs, and new shocks The entire firewall, cab floor, and bed floor was painstakingly custom fabricated out of steel diamond plate The interior was left to its original patina (in true rat rod fashion) Original Seat (looks uncomfortable, but it isn't) Original dash with a few upgrades: Tach and GPS. Original speedo works (off by about 15mph) Tilt steering column, wooden moto-lita steering wheel All the glass is original to the cab, and fits the Rat Rod look Rims are raw steel smoothies 15x6 front 15x7 rear. 205-75/15 wide white walls in the front, 235-75/15 wide white walls in the rear (currently sitting on vintage Goodyear GT tires in the rear, both sets included in the sale) She is a blast to drive, and was built right. The 454 moves her like a rocket down the road, and can smoke both rears for days. You can cruise down the highway at 60mph with two fingers on the wheel, thanks to the power steering. The power brakes stop this beast like a modern day ride. The build was completed in 2008 (exhaust was updated in 2013) Passed the NSRA strict Vehicle Safety Certification Inspection in 2010 The Truck has a clear Minnesota Title and is titled on the 1976 Chevy Chassis vin #CCS166Fl37768

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk
Mon, Jan 13 2014DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.
