This listing is for my 1946 Chevrolet pickup truck, 1/2 ton. It's in excellent, basically original, condition. It's a 6 cylinder, 3-speed transmission. It starts and runs well, seems to hold good oil pressure too. It's unrestored, has been painted at some time in its history. It's been converted to 12 volt from the original 6 volt, starts right up easily. Has all glass in it, windshield does need replacing - crack on one side, discolorations on the other. Tires are good, battery is good, body is good. Fenders are really good - best I've ever seen on one of these. Hood is straight, doors are clean and straight, box is ok for a driver but would need work for show - does have some extra holes drilled here and there plus small dents. Tailgate is solid but dented - replacements are reasonable. Brakes could use some work, they do lose fluid over time. Last owner said it tends to overheat but I've not driven it enough to tell, I've driven it around the neighborhood without problem but haven't hit the highways with it due to brakes.

I think it's a nice old truck, probably nearly completely solid - I don't see any rust or rust hole repairs, cab floor is excellent too. I suppose some pinholes could show up if it were sandblasted but right now it looks very, very solid. It's not from the Midwest but not sure where it's from.

If you ever wanted a nice clean truck to either drive as is with minimal work or to restore, this may be one of the best you could find! If you want to see it for personal inspection, that would be fine.

It was purchased to do a full body-off restoration, I've done several others like this one and this is definitely the best I've had for a starting point, but I purchased a 1929 car and have decided to restore that instead. Parts for these are readily available, I've been using Jim Carter's truck parts and definitely have been pleased.

Truck can be stored for 30 days after auction if paid in full, shipping arrangements completely up to the buyer, I'm not a dealer, just a hobbyist that enjoys new projects.

Actual mileage unknown but the ebay listing format requires a number so I entered an arbitrary number, not actual mileage.

Paint is quite faded and does have some peeling and blisters, still looks somewhat presentable though!

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021

Tue, May 4 2021

Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues

Thu, Sep 13 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:

We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned.
