1948 Chevrolet 3100 / GMC 100 Please read all of this prior to contacting me. See the seller feedback. I am and will be 100% genuine as will the description. For Sale- is a very original and nice 1948 GMC 100 award winning and show condition. Let me first start by saying that I realize that the badges say 3100 which is Chevy and that GMC’s version is the 100. 5 Years ago when the restoration was being complete there wasn’t aftermarket badges for a GMC 100, just 3100 which has the same pins. However the truck comes with the original 100 badging in the glove box, which need re-chromed. Same thing goes for the hubcaps. There was very little customizing done to this truck. Now onto the description. There was $16500 spent just in parts, on the restoration of this truck. That does not include ANY labor on anything. It is estimated that with labor of mechanical, body and assembly, that there was $35k spent on bringing this truck to its current show condition. The truck was completely disassembled sandblasted, frame off, nut and bolt restoration. All hardware is stainless steel with exception to some of the undercarriage bolts. Over 90 pictures capture the quality of the restoration. The truck has been driven about 1500 miles since the restoration was finished 5 years ago. The truck was driver on and off a farm lane, hence the bottom being a little dirty. The truck starts, runs, drives straight as an arrow and stops on a dime. Exterior – The body is laser straight. Not a ripple or ding to be found anywhere. All body gaps are near perfect and all of the trucks skins are smooth as a baby’s rear-end. All of the chrome is in great shape. Much of the stainless steel is original and has a very minor ding here and there maybe 2 or 3. The rear tail lights have started to pit a little. The grill shows very nice but could use a little polish. All door rubbers, truck rubbers, running board rubbers or gaskets are all new. The tail gate is bolted shut, but can be unbolted by removing 2 bolts and about 45 seconds should you wish to drop it. The builder did not want chains beating around the tail- gate. The bed is even laser straight. No dings, new oak flooring, all stainless steel hard ware. It shows very nice. All cowl vents, side vent, windows, doors, hood open and close as they should. The driver’s door does stick a bit when opening it from the inside and a little shoulder bump opens it up. I’m certain that the catch or release needs adjusted and is minor. It opens fine from the exterior. All glass is flawless and is tinted. Looks at the door jambs, this is a tell tale sign of the quality of the body work, prep and paint on this truck. Paint - House of Colors Candy Apple red and Slight metallic silver with custom pin stripping by the infamous East Coaster Jerry Campbell – The paint is near perfect. Driveline – The truck sports its original straight 6. It’s been completely rebuilt. Runs great. It can be a little cold natured for the first 2 minutes. Starts right up. No smoke. Minor oil leak about the size of a half dollar when sitting. It might be the oil pan or the crank case vent tube. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volt with every wire being replaced. The transmission is a manual 3 speed with electronic overdrive. This is not the original transmission. There is a “free wheel” lever on the floor you pull, and then flip a toggle under the dash for it to go into overdrive. It cruises nice at 55 mph. The rear end does not appear to be original to me. The truck does not have heat. All lights work. The truck comes with its original 3 speed trans. Suspension – Shocks replaced, leaf springs re-arched bushings replaced. It drives like a truck. If you’re looking for a smooth Escalade type ride, this isn’t the truck for you. It doesn’t beat you to death but its an old truck. No custom mods done to the suspension. All original. Interior – The interior speaks for itself. It’s in very good shape all re-done to look new. There are a few small items which could use tightened up and I don’t mean with a screw driver. These are minor issues, you could complete in an hour or two. The stainless trim on the interior of the door around the windows, need to have 4 holes drilled into the door and trim screwed to door. Holes are in the trim. There appears to be a stainless trim piece that mounts above the windshield on the interior which is missing. It should catch the headliner and hold the leading edge up. The trim piece is missing and the leading edge of the headliner is bowed down a little. And lastly, interior door panels were flat when installed. They have since bowed some. They could use 4 more stainless screws and recessed washers to make them lay flat. The lighter is missing and could probably just be filled the hole with a generic stainless or chrome plug. That’s it. All minor things you could tighten up in a few hours. Other then thse few little items, the trucks interior is spectacular. Interior light and wipers work. All gauges appear to work, however the fuel gauge does not. Personally I would mount a set of after market, temp, oil pressure etc gauges beneath the dash. <THERE ARE OVER 90 PHOTOS IN THE LINK BELOW> http://s46.photobucket.com/user/rustymopar/library/OWNER-PC/1948%20GMC%20100%20Pickup?sort=9&page=1 Details on purchase – 1-Truck is being sold as is where is. 2-$1000 immediate paypal deposit upon auction end.

GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs
Mon, Oct 2 2017DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.
GM may kill 6 car models as it works with UAW to tackle sales slump
Fri, Jul 21 2017The president of the United Auto Workers union said on Thursday the union is talking with General Motors about the potential threat to plants and jobs from slumping U.S. car sales. GM's response will be more trucks and SUVs, and sources say at least six slow-selling car models may be killed off. "We are talking to (GM) right now about the products that they currently have" at underused car plants such as Hamtramck in Michigan and Lordstown in Ohio, and whether they might be replaced with newer, more popular vehicles such as crossovers, Dennis Williams told reporters. "We are tracking it (and) we are addressing it," Williams added. GM has cut shifts at several U.S. plants this year as inventories of unsold cars have ballooned. Industry analysts said more jobs could be at risk as the automaker wrestles with permanently shrinking production of small and midsized sedans. GM is reviewing whether to cancel at least six passenger cars in the U.S. market after 2020, including the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, which could be replaced in 2022 with a new gasoline-electric crossover model, Reuters has learned from people familiar with the plans. Other GM cars at risk include the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic, sources said. Some analysts have singled out GM's Hamtramck plant in Detroit as one of the most vulnerable because of plummeting car sales. The plant, which opened in 1985, builds four slow-selling models: Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT6 and Chevrolet Volt. In the first half, it built fewer than 35,000 cars, down 32 percent from the same period in 2016, according to suppliers familiar with GM's U.S. production schedule. The typical GM assembly plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year.COMING ATTRACTIONS: TRUCKS AND SUVS GM must "create some innovative new products" to replace slow-selling sedans "or start closing plants," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. The auto maker already has begun to shift future production plans from cars to trucks, according to Morgan Stanley auto analyst John Murphy. He estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the new vehicle models that GM will introduce over the next four years will be passenger cars, with the rest divided among trucks, SUVs and crossovers. GM plans to add production of the new Cadillac XT4 crossover next year to its Malibu sedan plant in Fairfax, Kansas.
So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?
Thu, Jan 21 2016You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea.
