For sale is a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton pickup with a 235 CID motor. When I bought this truck, I was told the motor came out of a 1954 Corvette but I have not checked the numbers to verify that. The truck ran good when it was parked several years ago, but was parked when the radiator developed a leak. The man who owned it then (a certified mechanic - I know him) planned to use that as an opportunity to convert it to a 12 volt, but never got around to it (it is still a 6 volt system), so the truck just sat (garaged) until I talked him into letting me buy it. The only reason I'm selling it, is I have the opportunity to buy a Harley I've wanted forever. It took me many years to get this truck, but opportunity knocks. Overall, the body is really pretty darn straight, with the exception of just a couple of minor areas (please look closely at photos). The floors are solid, cab corners are good, doors are fine...a little bit of rust and body work, but not too bad. Again, check photos. It's just a good solid truck that with some TLC would make a great Cruiser, Lowrider or Ratrod. The tires are fair, the rims behind the hubcaps are chrome, the hubcaps are brand new - I took them out of the box for the photos. Just needs some wide whitewalls to look super cool or old school. Has Fulton sun visor. Brakes are good, steering is tight. Everything looks to be present on the truck except for the breather. Comes with extra chrome grill. The extra grill is not perfect, but it will be included in the sale. The driver's door glass and passenger door glass and quarter glass are cracked...the rest of the glass is good. The seat is not original to the truck, but very good condition with seatbelts and no rips. Has driver's side peep mirror with Kansas Jayhawk sticker. Rock Chalk Jayhawks! As I said, it took me many years to talk my friend into letting me buy this truck, and I finally was able to do that the first of the year, so the title has been applied for (on January 10th) and will be in any day (Kansas has just switched to a new DMV system, so it could be as long as another couple or 3 weeks, or it could be tomorrow). I do have a copy of the registration I can provide to the successful bidder, and the title - if it's not already here by the end of auction, will be forwarded to buyer immediately upon its arrival. Please don't let this give you any pause - just look at my feedback record and know you can be comfortable in my reputation as a longstanding eBay seller. Truck is also for sale locally, so I do reserve the right to end auction early.
Buyer is responsible for arranging for and paying for all costs associated with delivery. I do require a 500 dollar deposit within 48 hours of end of auction, with the balance to be paid within one week of auction's end. If you need more time than that, please contact me prior to bidding so we can make sure we are all on the same page with what is happening.
If you have any questions whatsoever, PLEASE contact Leroy at Seven-Eight-Five - Two-THree-Zero - Four-Nine-Nine-Two prior to bidding. I want you to feel comfortable in what you are bidding on.

I have had a number of people ask me about the reserve. I have it set at 5,000 (less than what I have in it)...so definitely a very fair reserve amount for this awesome truck. No matter what you want to do with this vehicle (ratrod, cruiser, lowrider or to simply restore it) there is a lot of truck here for the money it would take to get it to that point. Also, in the description I mistakenly wrote the seat in the truck has seatbelts. In actuality, the seat has the holes for seatbelts to slip through, but no seatbelts. Thanks for the questions, and keep them coming!
On Feb-01-13 at 11:28:23 PST, seller added the following information:
My best answer to the 'is it running and driveable question' is that, again, it was running condition, but was parked when the radiator developed a leak and the previous owner was going to use that opportunity to switch it to a 12 volt system, but never got around to it. For it to run now, it would need a radiator (a fairly inexpensive replacement piece) and a battery (I did not buy a 6 volt because, I too, would have switched it to 12 volt if I were going to keep it). Something else I thought of, though, is that it does not have an ignition key, so you would probably want to buy a new ignition switch at a parts store (very inexpensive - ten bucks or so). Also...there are two blue pieces you can see in the back of the truck that go on sides that cover the frame above the running boards. Again, keep the questions coming! Thanks!

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way
Fri, Nov 7 2014The 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%.
