For sale is my 1950 Chevy 3 window pickup.  I purchased the vehicle in 2007 from California and have been restoring it slowly ever since.  The truck has everything to be completed, it is just now all on right now.  The only major things left to do is finish some bodywork and some of the interior.

BODY-The truck is rust free California bought.  The door handles have been shaved and filled.  Front cowl vent and side vent shaved and filled.  Shaved drip rails around window.  Outer window trim welded to make windows look like one piece and really clean.  Shaved fuel filler.  Check out the truck at creativerodandkustom.com and you will see what I was going for.  Bear Claw latches installed on doors.  Doors close and latch perfectly.  Door poppers installed and were tested.  Also has safety wire installed so you can pull on latch from outside if keys left in truck.  Front fenders have been body worked, headlights frenched in with chrome ring, and primered.  Only thing left to do is block and paint.  Rear fenders are wider, I believe by two inches, and are fiberglass.  Also have fiberglass running boards that go with the rear fenders.  Bed sides are original.  Stake pockets have been filled along with the end of the stake pockets at the rear.  New front bed panel and rear tailgate with emblem installed.  Tailgate has been custom welded to rear of bed for seamless look.  Welding is complete and finish bodywork and paint needed to complete.  New front bumper and grill.  New headlights and marker lights.  New exterior mirrors.  New rear bumper from 1954 Chevy.  This bumper has the "step" in the middle and I think looks better.  Rear bumper has also been moved in approx. 3 inches so it fits closer to truck and gets rid of the farm truck look.  Also has extended apron with LED tail lights.  One light cut out and other needs trimming.  Custom 7 piece wood bed kit with strips.  Looks great and all boards are almost the same size, gets rid of the small boards in most kits.  Wood kit cost around $400 and will just need staining.  Aluminum gas tank moved under bed.  Two hoods, one stock and one that has the two halves custom welded to make a one piece hood with no trim.

SUSPENSION- TCI Mustang II Crossmember welded in.  It came with 2 inch lowered springs and disk brakes.  I removed the front springs and set it up with Shockwaves in the front.  I still have the lowered springs which will go with the truck.  The disk brakes are power with the master cylinder and booster installed on the frame like original with gives more room in the engine bay.  Rebuilt drum brakes on rear 10 bolt.  8.5 inch with 3.23 gearing.  Power rack and pinion steering.  Brand new front sway bar and all new upgraded bushings installed when front end installed.  Everything is brand new.  It has even had a front end alignment done.  4 link rear suspension with air bags.  Crossmembers welded in.  I have complete plug and play kit for the air bags.  NOT INSTALLED YET.  Have everything to install, air lines, fittings, digital air control gauge and manual gauge-you pick which to install.

ENGINE-Rebuilt 383 Chevy V8.  I bought the engine from a builder in Arizona and installed it.  The engine has tons of torque.  New polished pulleys.  Rebuilt 700R4 Automatic transmission.  The overdrive is really nice to keep the RPM's down.  Like driving a new truck with way more rumble.  The firewall was cleaned up and years of useless holes were filled.  Vintage Air condition kit installed.  Is not charged at this time.  Rebuilt radiator.  I had a radiator guy build it a few years ago.  He used an older heavy duty core.  The entire thing was gone through with all new parts.  He also installed a heavy duty transmission cooler in the radiator.  He didn't care for the "Chinese copy" that I had installed that began to leak.  He really knew his stuff and I bought in on it, around $700 for the set up.  Also has custom bowtie emblem on top.  All new hoses.  Have electric and standard fuel pump, neither installed right now.  Electric fan with thermostat.  Air gap intake-endurashine, Edelbrock 750 with electric choke.  Polished valve covers and cleaner.  Coated headers with flowmaster mufflers.   New driveline.  Much more, only the best stuff used.

INTERIOR-New dash shell installed.  Have new glovebox door and center piece.  New Dolphin Speedo and four gauge for fuel, oil, temp, battery.  New column tilt shifter.  New door panels and headliner shell from Rod doors.  I bought the kit a few years ago.  The company went out of business, but you can still find pictures of the door panels on the web.  They are made out of a hard plastic and will just need to be covered in the material the buyer will want.  The headliner is made from fiberglass.  Have all window stainless and headliner stainless.  New ignition switch.  Painless Wiring kit.  Wiring kit is installed and ran.  Wires going to back still needed to be connected to lights, gas tank, ect when everything is put back in.  The stock seat frame was cut out and a bench seat from I believe a second row suburban was installed.  I still have the stock bench, which will go with the truck.  Both are in dark gray cloth in decent shape.  One piece front windshield.  New rubber seals for windows and doors.  This is a three window truck.  New wiper motor.  New power window kit with aluminum switches.  Other new things that will probably come to me after I post this.

15 Inch tires on it right now.  Tires still have good tread and will last for awhile.  I have most if not all of the parts to put this truck back together.  I have boxes of new parts.  All major things are included with truck.  Small things like cigarette lighter or dome light may be needed.  Please send me a message or call if you have a specific question or want to know about something I didn't list. 

My loss is your gain.  This is the opportunity for someone to take what has been started and turn this into a show truck or just put it back together and drive it as is.  I really love this truck and I have invested a lot of money and time into it.  I am selling it because when it was purchased, I thought it would be completed by now.  At that time, it would have been for fine for me, my wife, and kid in car seat.  It was a tight fit, but it worked for short trips.  The kid is now in a booster seat and we added another in a baby seat.  Unfortunately, it this was just for me it would be great.

I also know the value of these trucks and what I have in this one.  I think the price is reasonable for what I have invested and what is needed to complete.  I am only selling because I want to see this truck completed and it won't probably get done by me for awhile.  No low ball offers please and only bid if you really want it.  I can assist with shipping but it is the winning bidders responsibility to find a shipper.  I could possible assist with shipping to someone who is in the local area.  Call or email with additional questions.  360 451 4088

 

I also have another hood, painted yellow like the rest of the truck.  Also have original grill and bumper.

The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015

Thu, Jan 14 2016

According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month

Thu, May 1 2014

And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.
