Hello folks here we have a 1951 chevrolet truck titled as a 1948 the history I know about it is this. I bought it from a man in west Albuquerque he told me he got it from some small town out west here in New Mexico it had no title when he  got it but he went through all the trouble with the MVD to get it bonded, vin inspected and and a nation wide vin check after a about a year he finally got the title since it had 48 doors he had it titled as a 48 then I bought it and made some modifications 


Suspension 
This truck sits on a 1976 Nova sub-frame (same as Camaro) standard 10 bold GM rear end  original leaf springs with 3 inch lowering blocks has disk brakes in front new pads and smooth disks new brake master cylinder power steering and power brakes.

Engine/Trans
The motor is a Stock 350 5.7 liter V8 Came out of a 1973 Monte Carlo this was not the original motor from the car and the owner had told me the engine was replaced some time ago and had about 50,000 miles on the motor. It has had all gaskets replaced and dressed up with new finned aluminum valve covers and air cleaner has a 4 barrel Holley Carburetor stock GM aluminum intake New clear HEI distributor and headers. The transmission came out of the 76 Nova its a 350 turbo and was in very good running condition. the Odometer had about 75,000 on it or it could have been 175,000 I'm not sure if it has gone around once before but the owner told me it was the original miles on the car and the car it self was in very good shape. I've replaced the front and rear seals on it not because they were leaking but just to be on the safe side.

Body
As for the body I know the main concern is rust the cab corners are very solid I've only seen some small pin holes on the out side the inner kick panels and driver doort  are the only areas with rust driver driver side is the worse passenger has two small holes about one inch long the bed still actually has the wood and metal slats in it. I was planning on doing a C-notch in the rear but the bed was in too good of condition so I decided to leave it alone. as for the rest of the body it will need some work to get it all straight if you plan on painting and restoring I personally wanted the patina look this is a solid body to start out with for restoration.

Interior
The inside is painted a metalic silver and cobalt blue door panels and bench are wrapped in a Mexican blanket grey rug battery is in the original location and the Nova wire harness was used under the dash has the original gauges and the fuel gauge is working has new sending unit and a voltage reducer from 12 to 6 volt turn signals work 4 way flashers work dash lights work has a aftermarket set of gauges to keep an eye on water temp and oil pressure needs a head liner missing driver door garnish molding 

Running Condition
This truck rides very nice easy steering and stops on time without the hard braking transmission shifts smooth. very fun ride I built it to cruise and to get me places and not for hot rodding but it will burn some rubber and get up and go I love driving it but I've got to move on to the next project carb seems to be running on the rich side but it may need to be rebuilt 

Wheels
Truck rides on 14 inch stock gm wheels with 70's style bowtie moon cap and has a 1/2 inch white wall tread is in good shape has about 60% on it.

As for the bidding don't bid more than what your willing to spend don't waste my time I don't want to have to relist the truck and I don't want to give anyone negative feedback just because they don't know how to bid. all sales are final and the truck is sold on a as is basis I've described the 1951 to the best of my knowledge what you see is what you get no returns accepted it is a project truck and old so thanks for looking and if you need to ask any questions feel free to also call me at 505 400 5681 good luck and happy bidding.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla sells Model S 85 and 70D in Malaysia, Chevy Spark EV built using clean energy

Mon, May 18 2015

Tesla will send Model S 70D and Model S 85 EVs to Malaysia for leasing to government-linked companies. Only those companies will have access to the models as a two-year lease, which will be imported and leased by Malaysian Green Technology Corporation. The plan is part of an initiative by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water to allow government officials and other influential people to get to know the electric vehicles and the benefits that come along with them. Most of the 120 vehicles available will be the 70D model, and the lessee companies will have the option to purchase the cars at the end of the two years. Read more from Paul Tan's Automotive News. Wanxiang is hosting students from Delaware in China as part of a program to learn Mandarin and visit schools and science and technology sites. Wanxiang, the auto parts company that acquired Fisker (which had manufacturing based in Delaware) and battery maker A123 Systems, will give the students tours of its solar technology facilities, among other places, and see what daily life is like for families in the region. The program helps students interested in science and technology to foster marketable skills — like learning a foreign language — that will help them get jobs in industries around the world.

The e-motors building of the General Motors Baltimore Operations complex has a new rooftop solar array and uses LED and CFL lighting, helping the building recently earn LEED Silver certification. The landfill-free facility also takes advantage of the 1.23-megawatt solar array on the grounds, helping it source six percent its energy from renewable sources. The plant has reduced its energy intensity by 15.5 percent in three years, and continues to work toward reducing consumption and sourcing clean energy. "We believe reducing our environmental footprint is good for the climate and good for our business," says GM Executive Director of Global Public Policy Greg Martin.
