Shawnee, Kansas, United States

1950 Chevrolet 3600 flat bed custom truck with 22 miles since restoration.  A custom bed has been fabricated from steel tubing and solid oak cabinet grade lumber.  The results of this custom bed combined with the vintage cab and front sheet metal make a very unique truck with a lot of attitude.  The drive train is a combination of new and old while the vintage appearance has been retained.
Engine/engine compartment:  The engine is a 350 Chevy motor out of a 1978 Corvette with many chrome accessories.
Chassis:  The rear end is from a newer one-ton with drum brakes and dual wheels.  A remote brake booster is frame mounted.  All six wheels are from a later model Chevy one-ton truck.  All six tires are new Uniroyal Laredo P225/70RX16 radials with raised outline lettering.  The transmission is a toploader 4 speed with a granny low gear.  The shifter has been shortened to add a custom touch to the truck.  The entire underneath of the truck has been painted semi-gloss black.  
Interior:  The interior matches the exterior colors.  Many up-to-date accessories have been added to the interior such as: new gauges, turn signals, custom wood console, custom oak door panels, clock, 12 volt electric fan, vintage compass with custom stand, prism, and Pioneer AM-FM-CD stereo radio with dual custom speakers that functions from a remote control module.  New black steering wheel.  The seat has been custom upholstered to match the exterior.  The skirting is black and the seating areas are green.  A custom pattern and new foam was used to reconstruct the seat.  Black plush carpet has been installed.  The headliner is black and is a reproduction of the original.  New black sun visors.  The original AM pushbutton radio has been painted green to match.  The Pioneer stereo is custom fitted to a special console that extends from the center of the dash.  Seat belts were installed for safety.
Exterior:  The exterior of the truck has a lot of bling and lights.  When the lights are on at night, this truck will illuminate like a Christmas tree.  The four taillight assemblies are mid 1930's with blue dots.  The hood has a rare center hood ornament with a flying bird.  Chrome imitation louvers are attached in a strategic pattern giving the effects of a louvered hood.  A vintage sun visor similar to the Fenton design was installed.  All of the glass was replaced with gray safety glass.  The two piece windshield was "V" butted which eliminates the center division bar.  The rear window has a slider that opens for fresh air and ventilation.  The running boards have been custom fabricated from wood and steel.  Lake pipes have been installed giving the truck a mid 60's custom appearance...but are not functional.  New outside door handles and chrome mirrors add bright accessories to the exterior.  The headlights have aftermarket gravel protectors and eyebrow covers.  The chrome grill is new as well as the front and rear chrome bumpers.  Stainless steel side glass and wing window glass deflectors add to the exterior bling.  
A custom dually bed was fabricated.  The headache rack was built using mandrel bent tubing and has a high level third brake light mounted in the center with a blue dot to match the taillight lenses.  A pair of back-up lights were installed and also have blue dots.  A storage compartment with two stainless steel latches that lock was installed in the center of the bed, just behind the lighted license plate recess.  All of the oak lumber is cabinet grade and the wood has been stained with a green tint.  Clear urethane provides a satin finish.  Bed rails were fabricated from oak as well.
Very unique design and two tone application.  The cab, doors and hood are green.  The front fenders, rear fenders and sides of the bed are black.  Green accents are used around the entire bed and bed floor for color harmony with the cab colors.  
Inspections and appraisals must be completed prior to bidding.  Please ask any questions before bidding as all sales are as is and final.   If you need any more pictures I would be happy to take them for you.  Delivery for a fee is an option.  $500 non-refundable deposit to PayPal is due within 24 hours.  Full payment by bank wire transfer within 5-7 days. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as the truck is advertised on other sites and locally.  Serious buyers are welcome to come look at the truck in person.  Thank you, Jerry -- 816-835-1572 -- barger55@swbell.net

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor

Sat, Apr 30 2016

Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
