1956 Chevrolet Pickup 1/2 Ton on 2040-cars
Waite Park, Minnesota, United States
1956 CHEVROLET PICKUP / 3100 SERIES BEAUTIFUL TRUCK ...JUST TO DRIVE, OR CONTINUE VERY MINOR, REMAINING RESTORATION!! THE INTERIOR , EXTERIOR and WOOD BED, WERE ALL RESTORED ABOUT 6-7 YEARS AGO! THE TIRES AND RIMS ARE LIKE NEW! This is a STOCK vehicle except the 6cyl was replaced with a350 V-8, 4 barrel carb., dual exhaust and wheels and rims. Whoever did the change over did an excellent job. I Purchased this truck just two years ago, on "e-bay", and have had the following repairs done by local "Certified" Mechanics: "REBUILT TRANSMISSION", Rebuild and Re-Wire Starter, Replace Valve Seals, check over clutch assembly, check and re-pack front wheel bearings, and check all brake pads. When I purchased this truck, I was told that everything worked except the horn! When it was delivered, I found that it would not shift from gear to gear without major "GRINDING"....I took it to a mechanic, who specializes in older transmission, and had it rebuilt. He indicated whoever had worked on it, forgot to put the "snap rings" back in place when they assembled the Transmission! I REPLACED ALL BEARINGS and checked all gears and of course had the snap rings installed! The clutch assembly was also checked at this time and was in "very good" condition. The truck, also had a major problem with valve seals, which I had both banks replaced. The starter had problems as well, and needed to be re-wired due to "black electrical tape" type of connections. "Front Wheel Bearings" were checked and re-packed, all brake shoes were checked , and are in good condition. OVER ALL CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE IS EXCELLENT, IN MY OPINION. The only two things that do not work are the horn and the radio. The radio is not original, but I do have the "original Radio Blank" insert included. There are a few additional minor repairs that I would do if I was to keep this. The doors need to be re-keyed (the keys that I received with the truck fit the ignition and glove box, but not the doors. The heater (which I have never used) should really have the cable assembly , and fan switch replaced or repaired, someone just put an external toggle switch on the fan. UNLIKE THE PERSON THAT I PURCHASED THIS FROM, I HAVE DISCLOSED ALL PROBLEMS, AND OR REPAIRS THAT YOU MAY CHOOSE TO DO!! This truck runs great and is fun to drive, now that I have fixed these items! THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT, IS I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM IN A PARADE WHENEVER I TAKE IT OUT FOR A DRIVE! IT IS REALLY, A VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, AND ATTRACTS A LOT OF ATTENTION! The only reason I am selling it is, I just don't have room to store it at my home, and that makes it seldom used. I have 4 other vehicles and have to sell at least one!! This truck wants to be driven!!! THERE ARE NO "DENTS OR SCRATCHES" OF ANY KIND ON THIS TRUCK!!! The ODOMETER READS 35,168 .......I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS IS ACCURATE. This truck has only been driven about 60-70 miles by me. I have stored this inside a warehouse / covered the past two winters. |

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles
Mon, Oct 19 2015An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
