1933 CHEVROLET HALF-TON PICK UP TRUCK!!!

Fully Completed Frame-Off Restoration!

Up for sale is a 1933 Chevrolet Half-Ton Pick Up.  Excellent running condition.  This truck currently has 2,027 miles on it since the restoration.  Since I’ve been the owner, we drive it to car shows, in parades, etc.  It’s garaged and has been very well cared for.  We actually keep it on a parking lift in our garage above another vehicle.

This truck was owned and fully restored by my father who passed away in 2010, and it was left to me from his estate.  This truck was one of two projects (the other was a 1934 Ford Cabriolet, his first car, also for sale) that occupied much of his twenty years in retirement, and he finished the restoration in 2006.  He was a machinist in his early years, and then owned a marina for the latter twenty five years prior to his retirement.  The first truck that he owned in his youth was a 1933 Chevy Half Ton, which is how he chose the project.  He spent years on this project, and everything…and I mean EVERYTHING was disassembled and fully restored to as close to factory original as possible.  When he could not locate a part, he did the research and fabricated the parts.  He went to many Carlisle, Pennsylvania car shows, scouting parts, taking reference photos, researching, learning all he could to get the truck as close to factory as possible. Needless to say, this was a full frame-off restoration.  He even built the rotisserie that he used for the frame during the restoration process.  We have pictures to document the entire restoration process, from selection of the raw, rusted truck, the disassembly, the original engine in its unrestored state, the new wood cab frame that he built from scratch, etc., etc.…over 200 pictures that are numbered and correspond to a listing of what each photo represents.  The photo book and the notebook (mentioned below) both are included with the truck.  He was nothing if not meticulous.  In addition, there are many other pictures included, some duplicates of the numbered series.  In my opinion, one of the most stunning aspects to this truck is the beautiful paint, in original black and blue and the gorgeous wooden bed. 

I also have the notes that he took during the disassembly process.  It includes such details as the diameter of the pistons, crankshaft journal dimensions, diagrams, disassembly drawings, and part numbers among many other details.  There is an unbelievable amount of notes that he took on some of these parts as he disassembled the old parts, so that they went together as originally designed.  Extremely detailed; dimensions, angles, fasteners, materials, etc.  Look at some of the notebook scans below to get an idea of how he recorded this restoration project.

The original 6-cylinder engine that came with the truck that he chose to restore was not a running engine at the time, so he also acquired a 6-cylinder from a 1934 truck as well.  I’m not exactly sure what parts he used from the 1934 engine, but I believe that he only used parts that did not deviate from the original 1933 design in order to maintain the originality.  The serial number indicates that this engine is a “Master Six”, which has increased displacement and horsepower over the standard six.

Engine specs: 206.8 cubic inch, six cylinder OHV, 65 HP at 2,800 RPM.

This is not a “resto-mod”, this is a restoration.  No fiberglass parts, no replica parts.  As far as I can tell, the only item that’s NOT as it rolled off the assembly line is a primer bulb added to the fuel supply line, near the carburetor.  I’ll be glad to take pictures of anything you like on the vehicle, just ask.  You may also email me your telephone number if you’d like to ask questions, but bear in mind that I didn’t do the restoration and therefore I may not be able to answer specific technical questions.  I’ll be glad to take it to any mechanic or auto dealer within a reasonable distance of my home, in Westhampton, NY for inspection.  Also included is the display tool kit, which is pictured below.

I’m selling this vehicle because it just gets so little exposure, and it just doesn’t get any use.  This vehicle deserves to be shown and admired.  If you’re looking for a near perfect restoration of Chevy’s early half-ton pickup, I don’t think that you’ll find a better one.   This truck is a step back in time, and when you sit inside or drive this truck you can almost imagine what an incredible step forward for a farmer or delivery man this truck must have been over the horse-drawn way of life.  The first Chevy Pick Up appeared in 1924, so it was still a relatively new advantage over the horse-drawn predecessor.  1933 was the year that Chevy sold their millionth commercial vehicle, and this truck is a perfect representation of that momentous year.  This restoration was a labor of love for this man, and he took years to get this project completed to his satisfaction.  It was a difficult decision to let this piece of the family go, but as I’ve finally come to realize in the couple years since his passing, “it isn’t Dad…it was just his truck”.

Chevy teases next-gen Volt at fan event in LA

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Barely two months before its planned debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet has released yet another batch of teaser images of its second-generation Volt. Unlike the first image, though, which just showed the car's rear badge, there's a lot more to this quartet of shots. The first three images show off the nose of the next-gen model and come from a fan event in Los Angeles. What we can see is a sleeker front end, with an evolution of the silver grille inserts previously seen on the original Volt and Spark EV. Gone is the current car's split upper grille, in favor of a more conventional arrangement. The sharper, more angular headlights are also an evolution of the lamps seen on the current Volt. Chevrolet also took the opportunity to announce a new location-based charging system that uses GPS to adjust the vehicle's charge settings, including the charge level, while also announcing that the next-gen car will feature more intuitive charge indicators that will be better able to inform owners of their car's charging level. The tech will mean that the Volt 'knows' when it is parked at home, and can thus automatically optimize charging for off-peak times, and so on. Take a look at the teaser images at the top of the page, and then head below for Chevy's press release announcing the new features. Next-Gen Chevy Volt Offers More User-Friendly Charging 2014-11-20 GPS makes charging more convenient Portable charger is easier to access Intuitive visual cues show charge status DETROIT – If there's one thing Chevrolet Volt owners love about their cars, it's being able to recharge the battery easily. Evidence of that is a U.S. Department of Energy study that shows more than 80 percent of all trips by Volt owners did not use the range extender. Chevrolet has made the charging system in the next-generation Volt even easier for customers to recharge the battery – and to check the charge status. The next-generation Volt debuts in January at the North American International Auto Show. "Chevrolet used the real-world experiences of today's Volt owners to make the charging process simpler and more convenient in the next-generation Volt," said Andrew Farah, chief engineer for the Volt.

2021 GMC Canyon trims overhauled, SL and SLT disappear

Sun, Feb 2 2020

Until this year, the GMC Canyon has offered six trims in two drivetrains: SL, a base model simply called Canyon, SLE, All Terrain, SLT, and Denali, with all but the SL available in either 2WD or 4WD. GM Authority credits "dealer sources" for news that the 2021 Canyon has had its trim steps overhauled. According to the chart in the report, the SL and SLT are no more, the base Canyon gets replaced by a trim called Elevation Standard, and SLE turns into Elevation. We already know that All Terrain has given way to AT4, while Denali remains in the top spot. Trim content doesn't change with the names, but there's no equivalent for the SLT trim in terms of spec. The GMC site lists the 2020 SLE and SLT on the same page, and a shopper must burrow into the spec comparison page to figure out the differences. The SLT only comes with the 3.6-liter V6 and eight-speed transmission, and makes features like remote start, climate control, heated mirrors, heated seats, hitch guidance, and a spare tire standard equipment. It also chromes the exterior door handles, and offers a Cocoa/Dune leather interior that can't be had on the SLE. It's possible the SLT's $4,700 premium over the SLE led more buyers to start with the SLE and add the engine and options they wanted.   We have a number of questions that we'll need to wait for GMC's official announcement to answer. The 2020 Canyon offers an Elevation Edition package for $650 that adds a black grille with body-colored surround, and 18-inch Satin Graphite wheels in all-terrain rubber. There's also a California Elevation Special Edition for $1,195 with all-weather floor liners, assist steps, and mud flaps. They could be optioned on the SLE but not the SLT. With the addition of two Elevation trims, we'll find out if the packages get renamed or go away. Separately, CarBuzz spotted a 2021 GM Fleet Order Guide that mentions a leveling kit option, LPO Code SQS, for the Canyon and the Chevrolet Colorado. We noted the inclusion of a leveling kit in the coming Canyon AT4 Off-Road Performance Package. According to the order guide, the option can be ordered only for the Canyon AT4 trim, but it's not clear if that's an a la carte choice or if buyers must order the Off-Road Performance Package. On the Chevy, the rake-removal equipment can be had with the Colorado 4x2 Z71 or the 4x4 Work Truck, LT, and Z71. Related Video:
