RELISTING DUE TO A NON PAYING BUYER!!! IT COSTS MONEY TO LIST ON EBAY SO PLEASE DONT WASTE MY TIME. MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER AND I WILL ADD A BUY IT NOW.
Up for auction is a 1948 GMC 1/2 ton truck mounted on a late '80s chevy S10 frame. This one has the firewall and 2.8l V6 attatched as well. Ive seen these trucks done like this a few times, but this one is done very nice. The firewall and partial floor is welded nicely to a new solid floor in the GMC. The floor is all newly replaced with a heavy guage steel braced with angle iron and some box tubing. The frame was sectioned to adapt to the GMC wheelbase. Everything is overdone and is very solid. I got this truck as an unfinished project and just took it to the next level. The body has some metalwork done to it that also looks good. The bodywork and paint is not perfect by any means. The truck looks good, but has minor flaws and ripples that wont show up in the pics. The paint is basecoat clearcoat and only a few weeks old. The interior floor and roof is done with spray in truck bed liner. The new parts I added to this truck include: New Glass all around, Glass weatherstripping, mirror, door handles, oak bed floor, bed wear strips, headlight rings, marker and tail lights, clutch mastercylinder, clutch and pressure plate, tires, battery, wheel spacers, and probably some other small stuff that I cant recall. The windows go up and down ok, but the splines on the handle shafts are broken. All the lights work. Brand new big fat tires!!! The bed floor is a stained and varnished sheet of 3/4" oak plywood mounted on new bed braces. The S10 dash shows over 200k miles, but I was told the engine had less than 100k. The truck runs and drives down the road very good. Needs wipers and hood latch. I have the old A/C box and fan if someone wanted to retrofit it. I was going to do it, but ran short on time and mounted the battery in that area. There is plenty of room for someone to do a V8 conversion. Probably more room than on the original S10. No warranty. Any questions, or if you would like to swing by and take a peek, call me at 570-299-1755 or shoot me an email. Im setting the reserve very low. Most of my auctions on these old trucks don't go the full 7 days. Feel free to make an offer. I have a clear KY title for this truck. Titled as 48 GMC. Please don't play games. Bid to win!
I will have a 1949 Chevy 5 window 3100 on a full size frame with a 350 V8 available toward the end of this month.

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery
Thu, May 15 2014As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
