1946 CHEVY 1/2 TON SHORT BED

This is a chance to own a solid, and almost complete, "Art Deco" '46 Chevy pickup. I just purchased this truck and as luck would have it three days later I stumbled across one that was already finished, as much as I'd like to have both I don't have the space or extra funds for both so I'm going to let this go to finance the other.
The truck has great patina for someone wanting a rat rod, which was my intentions, or it would be a good candidate for restoration. The pictures pretty much tell the condition, there is a small amount of rust in the bottom of the doors as usual on these trucks and a couple other small places but overall it's very solid. The fenders are all usable with just a little work, the cab is solid over the windshield, the cab corners and rocker panels are nice, the bedsides are surprisingly straight. The front bed panel and the rear cross piece are both rough. The tailgate is a little rough but I think it's useable, there is no bed floor so the bed is not solid on the frame. The previous owner removed the front clip and disassembled a several pieces of the sheet metal around the radiator area, etc. Therefore the hood is not attached and the front clip isn't bolted solid, all of the pieces that were removed are in the floor of the truck. The only thing I see that is missing is the actual floorboard piece that bolts in which is available aftermarket and the drivers door panel as well as both door glasses. He also removed the components from inside the drivers door but they appear to be all there. The front bumper is in the bed but it has a bend in the center, the braces are there and in good condition. It has the original 216 engine and 4 speed transmission, I haven't tried to turn the engine over but I'd guess that it's stuck.

There is NO TITLE for the truck, it should not be a problem obtaining one from a title service but that will be the buyers responsibility.

These are the trucks that everyone is wanting, they are becoming very hard to find, especially in this condition.

Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding. The truck is located in Mansfield Missouri and can be inspected at any time if you wish. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer and the truck will have to be picked up at my location.

Upon completion of the auction a $500 down payment is due within 24 hours by PayPal and the balance is due within seven calendar days by cash or certified check only.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids

Mon, Dec 28 2015

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
