Hello Folks! For your consideration:
1951 Chevy 1/2 Ton Pick-Up Truck ground up restoration.

Features: 1962 - 261 cubic inches inline six cylinder engine with 235 - 848 head for more compression, rebuilt with approximately 12k miles(proven runner). Stock cam, all new parts. Offenhauser twin intake with two Holly/Webber deuce carburetors, Fenton cast-iron dual headers, original Offenhauser valve cover, reproduction Offenhauser side cover, S-10 v6 electronic ignition(looks like original), aluminum retro air cleaners, 3 core radiator(never overheats), S-10 T-5 speed transmission fully rebuilt with close ratio B&M shifter. New clutch and all parts, 95 Astro drive line(uncut), original rear end with '58 Chevy pick-up third member with 390 gears. This combination allows the truck to travel 70-75 mph @ 2000rpm with great fuel economy. Dual exhaust done right with 31" Smitty's, pipes are iodized for rust prevention with chrome dual tips.
Power brake with dual master cylinder below floor board, not on firewall, new shoe brakes and all new hardware(stops on a dime).

History: The '51 was taken down to metal and the body was meticulously massaged, aligning every panel, new bedsides, new tailgate, and new head board. Then it was painted 1951 medium cream with clear coat(everybody has a green one). Bed is red oak, custom cut with no holes in the wood; T-bolts hold the aluminum strips down. This truck has no rust and replaced floor pan to accommodate new position for brake master reservoir and shifter position, so it has a cleaner look.

All electrical is new, wiring, one hundred amp alternator with internal regulator(chrome alternator 12v). All rebuilt gauges with auxiliary temperature gage for accuracy. Speedo is new, but sticks on 30mph and I don't know why.

All new tinted glass and all new rubber trim throughout the entire truck. Interior was all insulated with sound-deadening material even in the doors(closes like a fridge).

I didn't finish the interior because I couldn't make up my mind on what color I should use, however a complete interior kit in black goes with the truck. Also, a new custom Audiosound radio with speakers. New window regulators: I have the handles, but you need to provide the window crank handles. Missing glove box liner. Wiper motor converted to electric for reliability and safety. I also have the new rubber floor mat; you'll have to cut a hole for the shifter. Interior was painted in the original color with clear coat added for protection.

A few things that will need to be done, will be hooking up the spotlight(GM script), heater and horn.

Folks, to sum it up: I've owned the truck since the late 90's and drove it every day. Then I decided to restore it. Restoration was completed just 3 years ago and haven't put 500 miles since then. It was never to intend to be sold. Drives better than intended. Steering is tight & suspension is redone.

Winning: I reserve the right to end the auction early, since this truck is for sale locally. No scammers and no low ballers. Serious inquiries only. Will consider out of country sale. Please call my direct line for further consideration.

Please Note: The license plates seen in the photos are not included in the auction, however they may be purchased seperately. California buyers: back license fees are due on vehicle(approx. $360). Title in hand.

If you have zero feedback please contact me before placing a bid or your bid will be canceled.

Please have your finances in order prior to bidding! Most banks and credit unions do not finance vehicles older than 1995 or with more than 100K miles.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
