1941 Chevrolet Pickup, Light Duty 3/4 Ton on 2040-cars
Westphalia, Missouri, United States
|
Due to some unforeseen financial problems I am forced to sell
my 1941 Chevy pickup that I've been working on for some time.
In 1941 Chevrolet made two 3/4 ton trucks...the heavy duty
3/4 ton and the light duty 3/4 ton.
This is the light duty which is basically a 1/2 ton
long bed with a little heavier suspension.
This is the same wheelbase as the heavy duty but has
the 6 lug wheels and 11 inch brakes..the heavy duty had larger brakes and 8 lug
wheels. Truck has open drive shaft whereas the 1/2 ton had the enclosed Torque tube drive shaft.
This truck is very straight with hardly any rust through (
just a little in the bottoms of the doors) and about 95% complete...missing some
minor things like air cleaner, tail light, and light switch. Milage listed is what shows on speedometer but actual milage is unknown. Gauge cluster is complete and the gauges that are hooked up (oil and temp) both work...rest haven't been hooked up yet so may/may not work.
When I bought this it was pulled from a shed that was falling
down around it. (see last picture) Since then I have done quite a bit of work to it and bought
several parts for it.
Things I've done to it so far:
Seat has been reupholstered,
Brakes repaired...rebuilt master
cylinder, new wheel cylinders on all four wheels, new brake shoes front and
rear, new rubber brake hoses front and rear, two new steel brake
lines.
New exhaust pipe, muffler , and tail pipe.
New distributor cap, plugs, plug wires,
points, condenser.
Rebuilt starter.
New wiring harness (not installed, still
in the package)
New 6 volt battery. New radiator hoses. New fan belt
Engine has all new seals and gaskets
installed..(after reinstalling the engine, it is leaking oil when it
runs...I think I might have let the oil pan gasket move when I installed it but
haven't gotten around to checking it out.
Engine starts and runs good but has some blow-by and
the tappets rattle a little.
Doors open and close good, windows both roll up and
down.
Door glasses and rear window are both good...no glass in
windshield but inexpensive flat glass.
No rust in floorboard or wiper panel above
windshield.
Frame is rust free.
Overall this truck is straight and pretty much complete. Just
about everything left to do to it is cosmetic.
Entire front clip..fenders, hood, grille and lights are in
good shape.
Running boards need very little and are not rusted
out.
Bed panels are straight as is the front panel, even the
original tailgate is very restorable. Bed floor is steel.
Right rear fender needs a little welding but is better than
most I've seen.
Left rear fender needs very little work. As you can see in the pictures, I do not have the original wheels...they were not with it when I bought it. Tires are old but hold air and can be used until correct wheels & tires are installed. I have a clear Missouri title in my name.
Truck yard drives but I have not taken it out on the
street.
Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing looked good when
I had the engine out so I didn't replace them.
All of the gears work...granny low and second have the old
truck 4-speed growl.
Look at the pictures and bid accordingly.
I'd really like to keep this truck but that isn't financially
possible right now. Truck is located in Westphalia MO 65085 (central Missouri about 15 miles southeast of Jefferson City)
Truck is sold as is with low reserve...reserve is set below
what I can part it out for and considerably less than I've already invested in
it.
Shipping is the buyers responsibility.. I can help with the
loading.
$500 down payment to be made through Paypal within 48 hours
of auction ending, balance to be paid in cash when Item is picked
up.
Truck to be picked up within one week of auction end unless
other arrangements are approved by seller prior to auction end.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
