1949 Chevrolet 5 window 3100 Pickup Truck This Auction is for my 1949 Chevy truck that has just had a full frame off restoration. I will describe everything front to back by systems. I will try my best to include all the parts that were used in the build. If you have any Questions feel free ask, and do not be shy, I love talking about the truck. Engine: 307 small block Chevy engine. I got this engine along with the truck, and had plans on doing a full rebuild on it until I started taking it down and noticed how clean it was internally. I then opted to refresh the engine top to bottom instead of a full rebuild. the New parts consist of oil pump, oil pan, all gaskets, water pump, fuel pump, alternator, intake manifold, power steering pump, All belts, Carburetor , air filter, distributor with built in coil, plugs, and wires. the valve covers were stripped down and repainted along with the engine block ect. It starts right up and runs great! Transmission: 2 speed powerglide transmission also came with the truck when I acquired it. the transmission has an aluminum case and like the engine was very clean inside. I changed the pan gasket, filter, and rear tail shaft seal. and added all new fresh fluid. It shifts very smoothly with no issues. Rear End: The rearend is a Gm 10 bolt rear out of a 1978 Pontiac trans am. it was stripped down and repainted with a new differential cover gasket and fresh gear oil. I am not quite sure what the gear ratio is but the truck rides and drives like a stock camaro from the early 80's. It is geared for normal road/highway driving. Brakes: The brake system is all new front to back including all new brake lines and hoses , front calipers, and pads rear wheel cylinders and shoes. the master cylinder and power brake booster are also new along with a new pedal assembly. the master cylinder is a duel bowl corvette style master which attaches to a new proportioning valve and feeds the new fluid through the new lines. I have parts for the parking brake assembly ,but the parking brake is currently not hooked up. Suspension: The front suspension of the truck is that of a 1978 Chevrolet camaro. The frame of the truck was professionally sub framed by fatman fabrication here in charlotte NC. So from the firewall forward the frame is that of the 78 camaro. this gives the truck a great drive quality with independent front suspension, and makes parts like ball joints, bushings, brakes ect. easy to acquire from you part store of choice. The suspension is all new with New shackle bushings , shocks, ball joints, control arm bushings, ect. The front springs were cut to lower the ride height by about 2''. Electrical System: The electrical system of this truck is 12V and has been fully wired New with a 13 circuit American auto wire harness. all the bulbs, switches in the truck are new along with the new alternator. New brake light switch, parking lights, tail lights, headlights, dash lights ect. The column in this truck is a tilt column out of a 70's Chevy with a new steering wheel with new horn contact, neutral safety switch, turn signal switch, ignition switch. The dash gauges in this truck consist of only 2 electrical gauges which are the volt meter and the fuel gauge. the old amp meter was converted into a volt meter with the use of the original amp meter plate with new decal and a gauge from a new sunpro volt meter. the fuel gauge is a new 12v fuel gauge from classic parts of america. no need to have any worries about an old electrical system with this truck. Exhaust System: The exhaust is true duel exhaust New from front to back with the use of stainless steel downpipes that feed into aluminized pipe that feeds into summit racing turbo mufflers that feed into flow master tailpipes. The only thing that was used was the engines original stock manifolds that were sandblasted and painted with a factory manifold grey high temp paint. Steering system: The steering system is all new with the previously mentioned steering wheel, rebuilt column, & power steering pump. along with new steering gearbox , hoses, and column to gearbox shaft and yokes. Cooling System: The cooling system in this truck is also all new which consists of a new duel core aluminum radiator with built in transmission cooler, water pump, heater hoses, rad hoses, 16''electrical fan, thermostats and temp gauge. Fuel System: The fuel system of this truck is all new which consists of new fuel filler cap and hoses, tank, sender, gas pedal assembly, gauge, pump, filters, carb, and fuel line which stainless braided hose with AN fittings. Interior: The interior is all fresh with used seat frame done up with all new springs, padding and vinyl upholstery, new sun visors, headliner, door panels, door handles, window cranks. the original glove box door has a few minor dings in the stainless, but I opted to keep it original because it still looks great. the speaker grill and ashtray are also original. it has a new glove box liner, cigar lighter, switches and knobs ect. the floor pans and firewall in this truck were all coated with spray in bed liner material for a clean original look without the use of carpet. I am missing and to this day trying to locate a inner stainless steel garnish molding for the driver's side door window. Exterior and sheet metal: This was a true nut and bolt frame off restoration. every panel, nut , bolt ect. was taken apart or taken off this truck and each piece got worked, painted , and then reassembled .The exterior consists of some original and some aftermarket parts. Original parts include Cab, doors, front fenders, rear fenders, running boards, splash aprons, and hood. the aftermarket parts consist of grille, front bumper, complete bed and roll pan. all painted with a 2 stage base/clear silver with the exception of the grill which is done in black and silver. The paint shines and shows excellently!! there are no dings or dents in the exterior but there are a few nicks in the paint which happened during assembly. these few nicks are all very minor and never looked upon by anyone viewing the vehicle and have been touched up to prevent the finish from further damage. I give the paint on this truck a 10/10 for driver quality and a 6/10 for show quality. although I am very proud to take this truck to any show or car cruise. Hardware: I would say that at least 90% of the hardware used for assembly is stainless steel nuts bolts washers clips ect. If it's not new stainless then it is zinc Glass and weather-strip: The glass in this truck consist of all new glass except the two original corner windows. all glass rubber and other wind lace and weather-stripping are new on this truck. Both doors have new inner rubber along with new door glass channels. wheels and Tires: The front and rear wheels are New chrome smoothie 15 inch wheels. the fronts are wrapped with 195x60x15 and the rear are wrapped with 235x70x15.

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?
Sat, Sep 23 2017If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
