1948 Chevy **bare Metal Patina - Ratrod - Rustomod - Hotrod** Truck on 2040-cars
Morrison, Tennessee, United States
Up for auction is a *MUST SEE* 1948 CHEVY TRUCK! This running/driving, unique bare metal truck is sure to turn heads! The exterior has been stripped and cleared, and the brand new all chrome grille helps give it that "IN YOUR FACE" attitude! Body does show its 66 years of being an American workhorse, but it only adds to the style and character of the truck, so I chose to leave it as is. I am wanting to be as honest and upfront as I can, so pictures of what some might consider exterior "flaws", are included in the listing. The body has been lowered and is setting on an S-10 frame, with disc brakes and power steering. The bed has been narrowed to fit the chassis, and the wooden plank floor has been raised and notched to clear the custom 1969 beer keg fuel tank. The front floor pans have been replaced, and the transmission tunnel was fabbed up. The side vents were welded up, and the door handles shaved with new Bear Claw latches installed. The engine is a stock 350 with aluminum intake and a new 600 CFM Edelbrock carb. It is cooled with an aluminum radiator and electric fan. The exhaust is handled by Hedman Husler fender well headers, dumping through 2.5" straight pipes. The transmission is a newly rebuilt 350 with Lokar shifter. Brand new (uninstalled) hood hinges are included as well (see pic). The interior of the truck is red with new Shark gauges, new wiring harness, new electric wipers, and new windshields and back glass with new rubber. All lights and gauges work great. Wheels are Weld Drag Star - 15x3.5 front - 15x8 rear, with 28x11.50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street rear tires. The tires have about 50% tread left on the rear and 80% on front. The truck has that "old school" ratrod look and feel and runs and drives great! If you like getting attention and the "thumbs up" sign when driving down the road, then this is the truck for you!!!! IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU ARE UNSURE OF OR HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT, PLEASE ASK PRIOR TO BIDDING! MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. TRUCK IS FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
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.)
