Up for sale at no reserve is my 1948 5 window Chevrolet pickup. It is a 3/4 ton with a steak bed that pulls out with ease. I have owned this truck for 17 years which 15 of those years it sat in a driveway after I had the motor tuned up and the interior redone in a saddle tan leather. This is an original AZ truck that has zero rust or cancer on the entire vehicle and that is after it sat outside for 15 years with rain and sun hitting it. A year ago with some hesitation I decided I wanted to get the truck running again but was terrified of how much money I would have to put in it again. After 4 new tires, fresh gas, oil & filter, new fuel pump, master cylinder and a battery it started right up and has been running the same ever since. The glass in all 5 windows is original and the dash is all intact, the cigarette lighter is still there. As you know there is no power steering which gives you some muscular arms and shoulders. All the lights work even the dome light. The only thing I have noticed is the rear lights work sometimes and don't work other times, obviously a loose connection somewhere but the brake lights work perfectly. The 6 cylinder motor is the only thing that isn't original the guy I bought it from put a 235 6 cylinder motor out of a GMC of the same period. It is a 4 speed with 1st gear being a granny gear. I just recently put new oak in the bed as well as sanded and stained the stake bed. I cheated when I did the bed by using a full piece of stained oak instead of buying the planks. I did however keep the original metal strips to divide the bed which I sanded and painted. I put everything back with all new hardware so it would last a long time and look better. I also have the original rear bumper as well as the sun visor, the only thing keeping me from putting it on is the center bracket that connects the visor to the center piece of the windshield. The speedometer stopped working just recently but I will assume that is an easy fix. This is a great running truck that doesn't smoke one bit and is very close to original. Yes it does leak a little oil but I mean a little. Thanks for taking a look and good luck.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head
Fri, Jan 30 2015"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
