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.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
