1948 Chevy **bare Metal Patina - Ratrod - Rustomod - Hotrod** Truck on 2040-cars
Morrison, Tennessee, United States
|
Up for auction is a *MUST SEE* 1948 CHEVY TRUCK! This running/driving, unique bare metal truck is sure to turn heads! The exterior has been stripped and cleared, and the brand new all chrome grille helps give it that "IN YOUR FACE" attitude! Body does show its 66 years of being an American workhorse, but it only adds to the style and character of the truck, so I chose to leave it as is. I am wanting to be as honest and upfront as I can, so pictures of what some might consider exterior "flaws", are included in the listing. The body has been lowered and is setting on an S-10 frame, with disc brakes and power steering. The bed has been narrowed to fit the chassis, and the wooden plank floor has been raised and notched to clear the custom 1969 beer keg fuel tank. The front floor pans have been replaced, and the transmission tunnel was fabbed up. The side vents were welded up, and the door handles shaved with new Bear Claw latches installed. The engine is a stock 350 with aluminum intake and a new 600 CFM Edelbrock carb. It is cooled with an aluminum radiator and electric fan. The exhaust is handled by Hedman Husler fender well headers, dumping through 2.5" straight pipes. The transmission is a newly rebuilt 350 with Lokar shifter. Brand new (uninstalled) hood hinges are included as well (see pic). The interior of the truck is red with new Shark gauges, new wiring harness, new electric wipers, and new windshields and back glass with new rubber. All lights and gauges work great. Wheels are Weld Drag Star - 15x3.5 front - 15x8 rear, with 28x11.50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street rear tires. The tires have about 50% tread left on the rear and 80% on front. The truck has that "old school" ratrod look and feel and runs and drives great! If you like getting attention and the "thumbs up" sign when driving down the road, then this is the truck for you!!!! IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU ARE UNSURE OF OR HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT, PLEASE ASK PRIOR TO BIDDING! MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. TRUCK IS FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY. On Jul-12-14 at 20:05:58 PDT, seller added the following information: As requested, I have uploaded a few more pictures. |

A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728
Fri, May 6 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
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.
